My area is suffering an influx of expat California residents, and they're one reason I think CA should be its own country. A country with high walls and barbed wire fences... to keep its citizens in.
Seems everyone is fleeing to red states. Then they will have all those CA transplants and they will end up like Colorado. Destroyed. Shame CA people don't stay put as they spread like a cancer destroying what were such great states. Colorado and Arizona will fall due to the cancer spread.
It's unfortunate.
I recently fled Washington (pop 7M and another state ruined by liberal leadership) after 10 years for Florida... the 3rd most populous state at 21M... but I'm a conservative who has never once voted for the liberal garbage.
I'll offset one blue vote towards keeping Florida red.
If all the Democrats would just move to the left coast the USA would be a much better place.

People who leave are doing so because of their jobs or retirement, only on this board do people state that they are moving over the political climate. Red states are cheaper to live in tax wise, they also offer far less job opportunities and often poorer quality schools things that younger people with families want but of no concern for those who are retiring...

I was fortunate enough to secure a job in FL making the same money I made in WA... which means I'm doing even better in this lower COL red state.
I worked in Seattle... and I remember when I moved there 10 years ago it was booming with jobs... I had some amazing years before things started to go downhill in 2019 and then took a dump in 2020. I didn't lose my job but I did lose all my OT which was a substantial amount.
Straight from a Seattle news source and it's kinda funny... thanks to the liberal leadership and their never ending lockdowns Seattle doesn't look as appealing. Red states TX and FL are at the top of the job growth now.
I left for a combination of things... COL being the biggest... and the politics being close behind. Once I secured the job I think it would have been stupid to stay given the COL difference.
Their pensions are funded at only 60%, which makes them a ponzi scheme.
Homeless addicts everywhere in the #1 state economy proves the Democrat system of governance creates the most inequality, and the worst housing affordability. Only those at the top prosper...the rest die in the gutter...where's the compassion in that?

I agree on all points except the schools.
Personally, I'm sick of the CA bashing and the Texas bashing. I have property in both states and only wish for success for both.
Unfortunately, there are posters on this site and many others that root for ill will toward people in both states. They root for political parties like they're baseball teams. Really quite childish.

Seattle is the same way. Homeless tents and RVs everywhere. I never saw an RV that would even run... every couple days you'd see some truck come and latch on and tow the RV a couple blocks down the street to circumvent the abandoned vehicle laws.
As for affordable housing... I'm paying 40% less in FL for more house than I had in WA.

And in Florida there are homeless tents and rv's everywhere I well. There's a guy on my commute that lives on the side of the road in his tent, which is right across from an RV lot. What is your point?
I went to have a look at it (grudgingly opening the ignored bebop's post to do so), to demonstrate how Bloomberg was lying, but I didn't need to. An opinion piece can say anything at all and doesn't require any supporting information. It can even be objectively false, and there's no issue, because it's an "opinion" piece.
