If Miami was the size of Tokyo it’d have a real problem on its hands. Orders of magnitude more. I can’t even imagine.
Think of the mess we would have on our hands with climate change eating up southern Florida with people's desire to live there. Hell climate change is going to make the south as a whole worse but air conditioning keeps beating the heat.
Hmm. If we just MIB-ed memories of where they lived, I’d expect some reshuffling in particular states. So middling midsize cities with deep historical pasts would get hit hard. To me, the Triad is certainly at the top of a hit list in this scenario for NC. I’d expect Eastern NC to benefit, whether it be Fayetteville or Wilmington or Greenville or likely some combination thereof. Of course it’s conceivable the Triad would pick up on Ohioans, but I imagine the Triangle and Charlotte would grow disproportionately bigger from those transplants, same as now.
Any other legacy cities ripe for the picking and where would those displaced citizens venture?
Entire west coast would get the most people. Followed by Florida, then the mountain west. And finally a small population boost in the south. Leaving the central plains/midwest, Great Lakes area, northeast in the negative.
I know what you said. Wanna explain any of your choices?
I remember what all those states were like 50 years ago and why people were proud of them then. Intangibles, that got quietly erased when newcomers came. Those newcomers will go anywhere the grass looks greener, but some people wish they could go back home again. ..
I think Northern California would become much more popular and there'd be a crowding of people around the coastal areas of the entire country.
