The Republicans’ little red book is showing people escaping big crime and tax states like New York and California for lower tax, lower crime states like Florida and Texas. But to Democrats who are really bad at math, 7+7 = 0?
Most people are already familiar with the mass migration from the Democratic strongholds of California and New York, known for high crime and tax rates. We have delved into this in our article, “Americans Continue To Flee High-Tax New York And California,” highlighting Texas and Florida as preferred destinations.
California and New York have sustained population declines during Covid and after, that have long-term implications for local economies. The exodus means workers with six-figure salaries in technology, finance, real estate, and entertainment are going elsewhere, which will reduce tax revenue for the state.
MyEListing.com, an online real estate portal, used IRS migration data to reveal California and New York lost $343 million and $299 million in 2021, respectively, due to the surge in migration outflows.
The beneficiaries of the outflow are Florida and Texas, which took in $12.4 billion and $10.7 billion, respectively.
The exodus from California is so severe that state demographers forecasted the total population will be the same today as in 2060.
If left unchecked, the largest outflows of residents from specific metro areas could experience a fiscal crisis. Such a development would be tragic for Democrat-controlled cities already plunging into crisis as progressive politicians fail to enforce law and order.
Hey Joe (Biden)! Open up the US to energy independence!!!

Florida seems like a republican state for the long future. Texas is a little more worrisome. I hope it stays red. The senate race of 2024 is going to be a tell. Thank goodness it’s a presidential election that should help cruz. Cruz won his last reelection by 2.6 percent! That is pretty bad for Texas.
Maybe Florida should help us with insurance and property tax.
Yep.
The blue state model hasn’t worked for a long time. The more they squeeze the productive class, the more they flee. On the downside, I live in the SC 1 which has had tremendous growth and have the No Trumping, back stabbing Nancy Mace as my congress witch who claims she reps a purple district. My growing concern is that SC isn’t red enough.
should help us with insurance and property tax.
If the insurance pays for everyone’s new roof at $40,000.00 the rates will continue to rise and the insurance companies will continue to flee the state.
Sounds Marxist?

The left’s biggest prize is to take Texas. Slowly the influx of pissed off weirdos from blue states, plus the cartels, plus the illegals will make Texas a s*******.
Yes. IMHO, tax revenue = liberals.
When are the liberals going to learn that people can..and do...vote with their feet?
Texas property tax in some places have almost doubled this year. Wait until next year and thereafter....
who ever worded the title needs help!!
“Bidenomics” is like referring to what Nazi Germany did to the Jews as “HitlerCare”.
Does not the CA collection of DemocRAT slime try to tax those who have moved out (for various silly, typically leftist reasons)?
Sorry, but the best thing to do with NY/CA is to let the intelligent residents (e.g. NOT DemocRATs) leave within a given period, and then bomb, salt, burn, and burn all things and ‘people’ left. Pull the plug and reboot with sentient beings.
SC has open primaries, IIRC. Dumb-O-Crats are helping to pick your candidates.
One thing I noted on the chart at #13 that jumped out at me was the net positive inflow of wealth in AZ is nearly the same as Texas, yet Texas is about twice the size of Arizona.
Jobs Jobs! Jobs!!!
Despite high taxes, crime, etc in IL I saw the exodus from IL driven by the lack of jobs in The Rust Belt and plenty of jobs in some Red States.
you copied the headline right, but shouldn’t that headline be “..exodus from...?
My insurance has tripled since 2019 and my property tax has more than doubled.
