Most of transplants are moving from Left-leaning states and cities.


The results are in according to the Officials. Real estate consulting firm RCLCO ranked Lakewood Ranch the best selling, master-planned community in the US in its 2021 mid-year survey. With an 83% jump in sales most buyers are coming from New York, CONNECTICUT, New Jersey, MASSCHUSETTS, CALIFORNIA and Chicago.


They are also coming from the east coast of FL and Tampa according to them.

Not a darned thing we can do about where people move here from. IMHO, many of those who flee those areas, are fleeing high cost of living, high taxes, and the policies that caused both. Most are likely the opposite of what you might think.

I know of many conservative people in these states who are miserable and want out. I would not assume they are all left leaning. We won't know for sure until next election stats come out. I will say most of the left leaning people I know in those states would not be 'caught dead' in Florida. My daughter has a liberal friend in MA and her mom won't let her visit us in FL. That's how much she hates it!

I am moving to Venice (flying in tomorrow actually) from Lexington MA, and I am moving precisely because I hate the liberal cesspit the state has become. You don’t have to worry about - how I will vote!

I don't understand why Democrat/Progressive voters would want to move out of blue States since those are the policies they enjoy and vote for. Are they moving to red States to escape the crime and high taxes and vote for the same policies? Sort of like locusts who destroy the fields and move on to the next one. We escaped from NY to TX because we wanted to enjoy the freedom/lower taxes and may possibly come to FL if all ducks line up in a row.

The weather. If I could find a warm state that wasn't full of Trump lovers, I'd be there in a minute.

California's got great warm weather, & very few Trump lovers in San Francisco particularly.

If she feels that way, it's a good thing she stays away. She can hate FL all she wants, but the less she knows about it and stays away, the getter. Hope she can convince about a million of her left- leaning acquaintenances and friends to stay away too.

SF is not warm enough to swim and the water in San Diego is cold. There is no gulf stream. I've already considered it.

Have you considered a few beautiful cities and towns outside the US, just south? e.g. Cancun? Cabo? The weather is great and you can swim! A few other smaller coastal towns in MEXICO and Central America, and I assure you they didn't love Mr. Trump...but might indeed like Mr. Biden or Caramel.
