And yet, alot of people want to move to those cities. Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Winston-Salem. Democratic-run, Wake Forest-influenced Winston Salem is become a leader in nanotechnology. Something else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_F...vation_Quarter
Winston-Salem population growth since 2000: +28.8%
Winston-Salem murder rate: 5.5 murders per 100,000.
NC has traditionally been a conservative state. Northerners have been moving into NC and its cities, bringing with them their democratic politics. It won't be long before they run those cities into the ground like they did to their cities they left, with business unfriendly regulations, high taxes, high costs, etc.
Then their kids will then flee again to more conservative parts of the country. Rinse and repeat.
NYC/Newark is more expensive than CA and does not have what you say. Stop with the excuses.
Yes and every poor, criminal or messed up person in the world has a dream of making it to NYC (legally or illegally), and being treated by a king or queen by the leftists who run the show.
Sounds like the South ... I will take Long Island taxes any day of the week. We have 4 different seasons too!
BTW: this population migration is going to eventually turn many solidly Republican states into swing states, and in some cases outright Democratic states.
oh heck no... as soon as I retire, I am out of here.. LI's high property taxes are a killer,and NYS's high income taxes suck too

And those same northerners are bringing education and businesses. Kind of odd that North Carolina's most murderous days took place before the influx of liberals. The conservative South has traditionally had the highest murder rates and lowest levels of education attainment. Until 1970, the South was seeing more people leave that move there.
Is this yet another California bashing thread, trying to hype up low-wage areas with sweltering temperatures as amazing? Are you a realtor?
Love the idea of another thread bashing California.
Following earlier posts, with lifelong Americans leaving California in droves, how is it that San Diego has a median housing price over a $1 million?
