Wish my governor would do something like this. There might be, but likely not. Quick Google search didn't bring anything up. But gotta bus migrants to blue states.

Moore is my governor and I wish he would fix Baltimore...

I thought blue states were sanctuary states for immigrants though.

They're actually a sanctuary for everyone to get away from the failing leadership of the red states.

Have you seen where people are migrating to? Out of New York and California, and into Florida and Texas. People are voting with their feet.

Do you seriously think people leave because they want to support Abbot and DeSantis?
LOL it’s not politics, it’s because of cost of living.

I’ve met several people here in my red area of California that specifically cited politics as the reason for moving to Texas/Florida/Carolinas. Now the real reason may definitively be cost of living issues. But I don’t find it that far fetched to see the ultra conservative people moving for political (or perceived political) reasons. Many of them probably moved here from these states in the first place.

Does that mean our anecdotal experiences cancel out into a null data set?

[Florida (318,855), Texas (230,961), and the Carolinas – North Carolina (99,796) and South Carolina (84,030) – were the states with the most net domestic migration gains in 2022.
However, California (-343,230), New York (-299,557), and Illinois (-141,656) experienced the largest net domestic outmigration. ](https://www.nar.realtor/blogs/economists-outlook/where-people-moved-in-2022#:~:text=Twenty%2Dsix%20states%20experienced%20an,domestic%20migration%20gains%20in%202022.)

That just means ppl are moving. I don't see anything about political affiliation. I've also seen plenty of ppl comment on r/texas they regret moving here.

Red states require more migration because people die quicker in red states. Conservative policies lead to early deaths. Blue states are sanctuaries from those policies.
>The October report found that if all states implemented liberal policies on the environment, gun safety, criminal justice, health and welfare, labor, marijuana, and economic and tobacco taxes, more than 170,000 lives would have been saved in 2019. On the flip side, if states went with conservative versions of those policies, there would have been about 217,000 more deaths that year — “the equivalent of a 600-passenger airplane crashing every day of the year,” the study said. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/znfhsz/can_politics_kill_you_research_says_the_answer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
>In Trump states, the rate was 8.20 murders per 100,000 residents. In Biden states, the rate was 5.78 murders per 100,000 residents. "These Biden-voting states include the 'crime-is-out-of-control' cities of Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Portland, Baltimore, and Minneapolis,"
>"Jacksonville, a city with a Republican mayor, had 128 more murders in 2020 than San Francisco, a city with a Democrat mayor, despite their comparable populations. In fact, the homicide rate in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco was half that of House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s Bakersfield, a city with a Republican mayor that overwhelmingly voted for Trump."

I would think the majority of the reason people left their areas was their jobs became fully remote and decided to move to warmer LCOL areas while still making HCOL wages so they basically got a big pay increase for moving somewhere cheaper.
I would dare to say at least 75% of the people who left did it for financial reasons not political.

That's what I was reading TX and FL don't have state income tax. That was the top reason.

When said immigrants eariler, you should've said domestic immigrants. Because it seemed like you meant immigrant from another country.
Seems like you don't know the difference between US and other countries

They’re moving for land. With the money I could spend on a 2 bedroom condo 45 minutes outside of Boston I could by a 5 bedroom 2 bath full house with a two car garage. That’s why people are moving.

They can be, but dropping 100 people off without warning in the middle of the city on CHRISTMAS EVE makes it a bit tricky to find them somewhere to go immediately
