    Can anyone explain why this says the exact opposite?

        Why are they leaving Dem states for Rep states if they’re so great to live in?

          Maybe the people moving aren’t great people?

            Yes, it’s because they’re not great people. Definitely nothing to do with the horrific cost of living due to higher rent and state taxes in blue states.

          Not because they want to unless they like a lower quality of life, want to be allowed to oppress people, or prefer to be around crazy racists lol

            Lmao you live in a bubble, bud. Most people that are moving here are families who left due to increased cost of living from shitty policies made by democrat governors.

              I’m from Florida, I work in public service. A lot of the people moving here from blue states are bigots who either got priced out of their home state or rich people who want to be bigger pieces of shit than they could from their original state. Sure, sure, anecdotes aren’t evidence or whatever. But it’s a pretty noticeable trend. Florida has gotten measurably shittier in every way in the last few years.

      It doesn’t say the exact opposite, that’s why. Your question is a non-sequitur.

      I used pods to move from California to SC because I can work remotely, get paid a CA wage, could afford a house for the first time, while living close to family in SC.

      Covid lockdowns in big cities made them feel much smaller and that started to feel a little claustrophobic- living in a tiny apartment, not really leaving that much. At least there’s more room to stretch out in smaller cities, but now that things are seemingly going back to normal (not that I think SC had any shifts in that aspect to begin with), I’d much rather be somewhere that doesn’t feel so hostile.

      That being said, after a couple years of being here the vibes here are bad and I intend on moving possibly to Minneapolis as soon as I can.

      I’m thinking that’s mostly retirees on fixed incomes. Low wages = low cost of living = crappy schools = low wages

        Do you have a source for that?

          “I’m thinking” doesn’t imply a source unless I’m omnipotent, which I’m not.

      Is this a troll question? The metrics used are so different it’s not even about the same thing.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
