I could not wait to get out of the Northeast.... too parochial/ provincial for me. I moved Southwest to California which is "South" I guess.
There are some very Liberal areas in the larger Southern cities (like Houston, Atlanta, Dallas Miami) so I don't get the incorrect stereotypes I have seen on here.
I grew up in the North and got out as soon as I could. The North is too cold for me. I moved south but not to The South. I will probably live in the South at some point.
But to answer the original question, not everyone in the North wants to move to the South. I knew a lot of people in the North (some from my own family) that look down upon and stereotype the South.

Untraveled perhaps? Or equally ignorant?
Those areas are definately exceptions to the rule. Parts of Texas are more Midwestern than Southern. Southern Florida is definately not Southern. Atlanta is an island in the middle of Georgia .

Really, SD, the only parts of Texas that could be remotely considered "Midwestern" are the very upper panhandle and anamolies like the DFW area. I DO however, agree with the general point you are making!

Would never argue with you on that TexasReb...you know more about your state than I do. I was just thinking that because of how Texas was settled. It seems that Texas not only received migrants from the South when it was a territory but it also recieved a lot of German and Czech immigrants that were typically settling in the Midwest at the time and very rarely in the South. I thought that ever since then , the state has been attracting a lot of Midwesterners anyways.
The only Southern state I'd ever consider living in is Virginia cause I like it so much. Even then, that's a lil too far south for me to spend the rest of my life in. There's lottsa places I wanna visit, and places I'd live in for awhile, but the place I actually wanna live my life is in the Northeast. It's the one place as close to a home as I have, and I'll always come back to it.
Anyway, it's been said, it's like 2 percent of the northern population leaving, right? I don't think the southerners have much to worry about if you think you're being overrun lol. We're still in one piece up here, and alot of us like it.
