Yes. Oddly enough, wealthy retirees move to cheaper areas since they are no longer tied to the evilsocialist cities with the good paying jobs. That’s been going on since retirement was a thing. For every retiree who leaves NY or CA, there is at least one young college grad to replace them.

I’ll ask you again: if there really is a mass exodus from blue areas, then why are blue areas so darned expensive? I’d love to live on the West Coast or the Northeast, but I’ll never be able to afford it.

I hope I am wrong and you are right, but the housing markets say otherwise.

No way with snow depth of 4" and temp at 17. Liberals from California down south in Austin are roughing it with temp at only 26 there.

No wonder why millions are fleeing Lib states.
Let me repeat you posted a story about a collapsed deck due to a massive party.

Anyway, when all those oceanfront property owning liberals leave, you let me know, I would like to buy some stuff for next to nothing. Lol.

Absolutely, do you doubt this is our future?

For me, freedom, equal opportunity, protection of safety and property is most important, and the Democrats want to destroy all 3. So even though on many issues, I agree with the Democrats, the fact that they will take away my freedoms, property, safety and opportunity is why I see them with utter disdain and will fight against them for the rest of my life.

You are wrong, so your wish has come true. NY and CA have been losing residents by the millions for decades...more residents moving out of these 2 states, than U.S. residents of other states are moving into NY & CA.

Would you agree that the U.S. Census is a good source of data regarding domestic migration? If so:

from mid '20 to mid '21 352,000 MORE New Yorkers moved out, than U.S. residents moved into NY....in just 1 year! That's more people than Buffalo + Albany combined!

So, for every retiree leaving NY there is not 1 young college grad to replace them, & it hasn't been that way since prior to 1970!


https://www.empirecenter.org/publica...ion-loss-ever/

Cali's even worse than NY, cali lost a net of 367,000 residents during the same time frame mid '20-mid '21...in just 1 year, which is more people than the population of Anaheim!:

https://www.thecentersquare.com/cali...7adbbbd46.html

If you tally up the net losses for each state since 1970, each state has most Millions of residents to other states, & less moved in...by the MILLIONS....each state...MILLIONS in net domestic population losses.

This is why Dems are importing illegals from Mexico, then flying/busing them into Blue states...to try to replace the millions of U.S. residents that have left Blue states like NY & CA. The Dems are desperately trying to retain their Congressional seats, but they are fighting a losing battle

U.S. residents of Blue states are fleeing faster than Dem politicians can bus Mexicans in.

College enrollment is falling in Cali and NY:
