VERTY interested to see what you guys have to say about this. I've heard MANY times how bad this is for the Dems, (NY gets small, SC gets big) but the way I see it, NY stays lib and SC BECOMES lib. That appears to be what we have in VA. So many of these F&*%ing POS scumbags are coming in, that VA is now indistinguishable from MASS.
Good, there are too many people in my state anyway.
what you are seeing here is why the US is drifting left politically - as people move to the "inbound" states, they bring their politics with them.

Democrat party fiefdoms despise families, despite all their total BS rhetoric. Such regions are funtionally uninhabitable.
Think San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Manhattan, Northern New Jersey and all of Taxachusetts.
The phrase "Rats leaving a sinking (liberal) ship" comes to mind.
My home state. Hope all the dems leave. That would take a lot of outbounds though.
I think they're all coming here to the Triangle area in NC.

As a side note, a friend of mine in the building trades has had to move to Shreveport, LA to find work leaving his wife here in Michigan. I guess they are building like crazy down there.........
Grrrr....
The reason the northeast is losing residents is because more and more city folk are flocking to the northeast and changing hte once republican structures into 'progressive' (translation= destructive moral deficient, mother nature over civilians rights ideals) - Vermont is a lost cause- Maine is soon on it's way to being lost cause- NH as well- and forget about Mass unless you worship depravity and mother earth.

liberal migration bump for later.........
-This year marked the first time in 25 years that Minnesota (51.3%) saw more people entering than leaving.-
You can expect that to be a fluke. Yes, I live there.
I'll bet the news media coverage of this story is wrong and that it tracks all moves, not just its customers.
But if it does track just its customers then the study is seriously flawed. Most people move themselves and do not hire a van lines. Of those who do pay others to move them, they do not hire one of the most expensive and non-typical (top tier) van lines.
I don't dispute the conclusion, only that this is more "conventional wisdom" than it is scientific.
Judging by some of the other FR threads, the biggest migration is not from North to South; it is Northward from the South (of the border). We can all lie with / cherry pick statistics.
During the (alleged) housing-market bubble-burst, it was reported that housing prices had double digit declines in 32 of the top 100 housing markets. But 29 of the top 100 housing markets had experienced double digit increases ... at the peak of the (alleged) slump. Location, Location, Location.
