Migration from U.S. north to south is highest in decade
Employment booms in Florida, Georgia and other ‘sand states’ Link Susan Gifford moved last August from Rome, New York, to Garden City, South Carolina, where she lives in a home two miles from the beach. “The weather was the motivating factor, getting away from winter,” the 67-year-old retired teacher said. Almost 600,000 Americans moved from the Midwest and Northeast to the Sun Belt states last year, the most since 2005, according to Brookings Institution demographer William Frey. Migration is boosting growth along Southeast and Western coasts as well as Nevada and Arizona, reflecting a healthier national economy that has made it easier to re-locate. Retirement centers Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and The Villages near Orlando were the fastest growing metro areas in the U.S. in the year ended July 1, while a flow of younger workers have led to employment booms in Florida, Georgia and Nevada, all growing at almost twice the rate of the nation. “There’s been a renewed push of people moving to the Sun Belt,” said IHS Markit economist Karl Kuykendall. “The 2009 recession slowed it down because of the housing slump and severely hurt resident mobility. More people are back to moving south and west for better jobs, and there is retiree migration as well............... -more- |

They like Californians should not be allowed to flee the mess they created, but it is obvious why they are doing it Democrats never ever take personal responsibility for anything in life.

The ones who want to flee the oppression are welcome.
The ones who want to spread the oppression should fuck off. |

It's crazy here in AZ. A lot of northeasterners and Californians lately, more than the usual.

Democracy is the problem. Just because 100 million wackos all have the same opinion doesnt make it right. Then they can move but they cant destroy the community.

My wife and I spent a few days in/around Ft. Myers, Florida in March. I was astonished at how much development was underway, and at how bad the traffic was. :)

We have a North and South Carolina, and a North and South Dakota, and those work well. North Florida and South Florida sounds wonderful. The yankees can stay in Palm Beach and WTFever else is down there and ruin THEIR lives while leaving North Florida relatively untouched. |

Pass.
I plan on eventually leaving NY, but that ain't where I'm heading. |

Fucking liberal lefty parasite cockroaches destroy their area then move to a free state to get away from what they've done and quickly proceed to try and turn that state into their utopian shithole.
FUCK OFF DIE AND ROT KALIFORNIA, NORTHWEST MIDWEST AND YANKEE SCUM !! holy shit, where's the Tylenol......... |

YES! We have a housing shortage in Idaho Falls, seems more and more diversity and not a house for them. Escape from all your weather problems and move to the Rockies and raise horses

Just so you know, every stereotype you've heard about Alabama is true. We run about bare footed, marry our sisters, and constantly spit tobacco.
You wouldn't like it here. |

Every single year, I become more and more convinced that we need to divide the state. Somewhere around Ocala, maybe. We have a North and South Carolina, and a North and South Dakota, and those work well. North Florida and South Florida sounds wonderful.

We've seen waves of yankees flocking to NC in the past 20 yrs. What was once a solidly red state is now almost blue. You'd think they would learn after turning their northern states into liberal shitholes. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Don't worry about me, I am conservative and so is my wife. I hate the way things are in NY, but I have no plans to move to the south or southwest. Oppressive heat is not for me.
I like NH and PA. Maybe as more libs leave those states the relatively few conservative people from upstate N.Y. can move in and tilt the balance to being red states. Their weather is much more to my liking. |

Not everyone from the northeast is a leftist douchebag, but whatever.
