Looking for new nests to foul.
My prior home is on the first list, and my current home is on the second. I escaped in the nick of time and had a smooth landing. Whew.
What’s the best areas to move to in South Dakota?
This really ticks me off. Bunch of arseholes with no self awareness, fleeing their mess.
Houston and Dallas
That is a yuge problems
Liberal refugees, don’t vote for what you fled.
Stay away from Idaho! It’s a horrible place. Nothing but potatoes, long cold winters, gray skies, and filled with racists. Nope, not reason to move there. None at all. Stay out!
We are moving in the spring from St.Paul. I have been planning the move for years, to happen after I retire; now I have.
Looking primarily at Kentucky and Tennessee, Bowling Green and Knoxville areas the most likely. Wife wants a not so small town, I want a not so big. I reserved moving equipment almost a year ago with destination unknown.
We’re going to take another look around in a few weeks and make a decision. Freeper suggestions are welcome.
Well, there are a lot of conservatives leaving blue for red. We moved from Illinois to Missouri a few months ago, doing our part to keep Missouri red. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of liberals fleeing Illinois who take their stupid voting habits with them.
Huge numbers of people are moving to small, mostly rural - but free - South Dakota too.
House hunting at this very moment. Leaving Los Angeles for Michigan. Unfortunately MI is a blue state, but just about every county is red except Detroit, Ann Arbor and Lansing.
It’s home for me. So I’m going back to the area I love. It’s green and has trees. I will however miss the weather here in Southern California. Won’t miss the illegals, the high cost of living, the politics, and the electrical grid which has gone down bi-weekly for us for the past 2 years. Prior to that it hardly ever went down. But the fires changed everything around here.
All the exodus does is spread socialism.
I always think of one of my former coworkers when I read these stories. He fled Illinois several years ago because of “Illinois taxes and politics.” So, what does he do? He moves to Florida and continues to vote Democrat, voting for the same type of policies that made him leave Illinois.
Bkmk
Red states are SCREWED! OOOHHHH BBOOOYYY! I’ve been seeing a lot of cali plates here🙁... A lot of those people are poison because of their voting habits ....they’re like Locusts... Destroy and devour! Texas is almost at the tipping point of no return. Illegals and migrants from other blue city states are rapid in our state big time! Austin used to be a pretty OK place now it’s a cesspool they’re all poisoning the waters with their liberalism and socialism...now it’s just a matter of time I’m afraid.
Down staters in Illinois are fleeing in droves. I live 12 miles from the IN border and would like to move to IN but the real estate prices in indiana within 20 miles of the state line are crazy
A fair amount of the farm fields that surrounded my area 20 years ago are now covered in new homes. There is a new development area on the northeast area of town that is still building out. The buyers coming in should be aware that the local job market is not going to support the kind of income they will need to cover the sky high mortgages should they lose their employment. Most work in town is retail/restaurant/help desk.
I live in Utah also It’s becoming a blue state more & more every year. SL County is a given, but Utah County is rocketing to the top. I can’t wait to leave.
I live in a small community in the California Central Valley.
I am in my 70s and the wife in her 60s. Our home is paid for, and we have family and deep roots here. But I have been researching where we could move if things got really bad.
Being retired and with savings we can live off of our Social Security. So we would not have any problem financially leaving. But leaving means leaving our family support, church support and everything we know about getting around our community.
So moving is not our first option but it is an option.
I am looking into Texas as a destination, not one of the big cities but a small community.
Right now I am also making a list of things that would trigger a move. The big one would be repeal of prop 13.
Sometimes I think living a long time is not a blessing.
The solution for the states that people are leaving is to raise taxes on those remaining. * you know that is the plan!
Nextdoor.com I saw postings about my area of Chatsworth, Canoga Park, Calif where people were complaining about the electric rates of $1,200 + for 2 months. They are saying double what they had been paying.
People posted their bills and that they complained and complained but nothing. One guy got a tv station involved and managed to get a $700+ refund. I think electric rates are at least .19/cents a kw
The electric company is estimating and not reading the meter.
They use software to estimate in their favor.
The electric company manager the tv station contacted said he would talk to them but ducked away at last moment and a spokesman said that the lawyers said not to comment. You know this is stolen money by the democrats. Most for pensions and the rest to pay for other pet projects. Not for fixing the power lines and transformers that spark fires. Their solution is to turn off power to hundreds of thousands of people.
