Who the hell goes to Boston or Chicago looking for work these days?

Those rat-holes are in massive debt, and the taxes, fees, regulations and other democrat penalties are in full effect therein.

Those towns are a fool's paradise.

Yeah,
I can see lots of Floridians retiring to Chicago.
Specially about November or December.

The primary reasons young people head to the cities are culture and cash. By "culture" in this context, I don't mean the museums and the theater, although there are those attractions, but nightlife and music and a significantly higher chance of "hooking up" than that which obtains further afield.

In addition, whatever employment one does find in the cities commands a much higher salary than elsewhere; it is not unusual for an administrative assistant in Manhattan to earn upwards of $60K a year. Of course, the salary premium comes with a price: your studio apartment might cost $1500 a month, and that's in a marginal neighborhood. And the taxes, naturally are out of sight.

In Chicago, we are drawing from WI., MI., IN., & IA. When I ask tenants why they've moved here they usually tell me that it's because there is no opportunity where they came from.

The big question is as the population moves south and northwest will they take their liberal Rat voting pattern with them. If so there's not much point in going there and those of us in the Rat dominated areas are better off trying to change them. If not relocation is the best option.

I met a wonderful woman, moved to Roswell, NM. We built a 75 by 35' greenhouse........Now I have people asking me to go back to corporate flying for several oil companies..

It is crazy I don't need a Nanny / bluestate, I just need to be left on my own.

There is a concept, Americans making their own way.
