Can't wait for the regulars to come on here and say how it just isn't so and this is the smartest best state ever

One year maketh not a trend. MA gained almost 500,000 residents from 2010-2020. Covid changed the dynamics in lots of places, not just MA.

Oh but it is a trend. More than a trend it’s a rule.

In this last decade 100% of our growth is due to foreign born people.



In fact, the total population in the state has increased greatly over the past decade, making Massachusetts the fastest-growing Northeastern state overall since 2010. While the state is usually a net loser on state-to-state migration, it is a significant gainer on international immigration.

I don’t think any state saw a faster growing black populations (relatively).

The state has a stubborn populace that is making its own lives more difficult without good reason. The relative lack of adaptability and sheer in MA political culture has its shortcomings.

According to IRS’ 2020 filings, Massachusetts ranked No. 44 in migration trends, indicating population loss. The state lost 149,122 IRS filers in 2020 and gained 112,140 new ones, resulting in a net decrease of 36,982 people.

Mass. Has lost another ~46,000 since 2021.

It was another month of declines in Greater Boston’s housing market, except for the one measure that matters most to buyers: Price.

Both sales and new listings fell significantly in November, a clear sign of a slouching market. But home prices, thanks to the region’s crisis of undersupply, actually ticked up month over month, according to figures released Tuesday by the Greater Boston Association of Realtors. It was their first increase since the market began downshifting over the summer.

The median-priced single-family home sold for $760,000 last month, up from $749,000 in October, according to GBAR, and that’s 1.3 percent higher than in the same month last year. But the underlying point, that our housing market is in decline, still stands. While the median price was up month-to-month, it was still down significantly from June, when it peaked at just under $900,000.



Somehow someway republicans always leave you in bad shape. MA has allowed itself to be held hostage by upper middle class nimbys… things seem a little broken up there

Massachusetts has not had a net inflow of domestic migrants for any year available on the Data Discovery website, which has records as far back as 1993. The only other years when net migration outflow was above 20,000 people were 2004, 2005, and 2017. Notably, those were also years when Massachusetts had a very prosperous economy.

Since 2015, AGI outflow to Florida, New Hampshire, and Maine at least doubled, while inflow stayed steady. That shows that the high level of outflow from Massachusetts is a relatively new phenomenon that has appeared over the past five years.

Birth rate also declined 30% in this state over the last 30 years. I wonder if that has any correlation with how much more expensive this state becomes each year. Many working class residents can't afford to have kids and I'm sure a good percentage of the ones who are having them are on the dole.

Well yes- that’s exactly what happens- the share of free and reduced price lunch students in our public schools rose for years and years until all students in Massachusetts could eat for free like they can now. private school enrollment has declined.

These are the results of policy choices n it from the radical far left progressives but of the incremental ‘moderates’. The ‘moderates’ think they’re geniuses and will do more of the same, thus furthering the negative feedback cycle.
