Anyway, I have never desired to go south (except for Maryland and maybe Virginia) but a big part of me loves the north. I would love to move farther north one day, but for now I'll deal with the haters.
I will live the remainder of my life in an area AT LEAST as cold as Boston; when the time comes to retire, I expect to live in an even colder metro area.
You're hearing from people on here who are wanting to move south.
You're not hearing from the people who have no intentions of moving south. In the past 10 years you have a net 2 million to 4 million gain from north to south migration. Out of 120 million people. It's a big migration, but for every net gain the south has gained from the north in the past 10 years, 97 stayed put in the north.
It's not like the north is FALLING APART and people are fleeing en-mass. There's a migration, but it's still around 2-3% out of the total population.
I can understand why some people want to move down South; but I am not one of them. Summer is nice... for a few months. I have terrible allergies and bad eyes, and also I actually like being cold. 45 degrees, light snow, December night... that makes me love Cleveland. Nothing is more romantic or relaxing. Nothing.
Don't fret Southerners, this Yankee has no desire to "carpetbag" your neighborhood anytime soon.
