Unfortunately, these people bring their misguided ideology with them to the new area and pollute the politics in the new location.
That scale of robbery has become more and more widespread.
For most of the 90s, $1500 a month on an 8% 30 year mortgage bought a $200K house. One lone idiot buying in 2003, making the same $1500 payment with a 3.5% ARM, can sign for $330K. The next year they appraise everyone in the subdivision at 375K for good measure and send you a bill for $5500. The bubble is the biggest stealth tax increase since the AMT. It's been an absolute gold mine for local government.
And needless to say, they took all of that gold and dumped it into the public schools to turn it into lead.
We have the same problem here in Philly...young people come here for our colleges, then bolt after they graduate. Not that they're all leaving the region...our 'burbs are growing at a nice pace...but it's really hard in the city for a young family just starting out.
Where does it say that all these young people leaving are liberals?
It's just that most young people's minds have been corrupted by the liberal Universitys they attended.
In addition to the hack nepotism (which is admittedly pervasive), there really is limited housing. A lot of communities oppose any development, and it seems to me there's some kind of environmental ("preservation") statute on the books by which, in effect, the state actually pays them to keep development out.
ROFL!! My husband and I lasted about 9 months before we got the heck out. There was no way we could afford a house. Kentucky is good.
New Hampshire used to be predominantly republican. So many Massachusetts escapees have infiltrated, especially southern New Hampshire, that it's changed radically. I think it's been the pattern for years that liberals can't stand the sinkholes they've created, so they move somewhere less corrupt and immediately start voting in the things that caused what they couldn't stand.
He does not want a young single female who doesn't mind the idea of plunging a scissors in a baby's skull.
If I were a young male in one of those blue-state cesspools I'd leave ASAP also!
In my experience, most of the folks leaving here are not liberals--it doesn't even make sense to say they are, they're making this place the hell on earth they want it to be, why would they leave? They LOVE it here--it's people like me who want out (but refuse to cede the ground to the bastids).
well, you can count me amongst them once December rolls around. I think I'll take the pioneer's advice and "Go West" or back home down South...bah, who knows? But there really is no incentive for me to stay here in CT.
"That's what's scares me - - that these young adults are taking their parents' Democrat voting habits with them and fouling other states the way their parents fouled the states they're running from."
You've hit the nail on the head. I live in a midwest city that hires and imports people from all over. The transplants from places like Illinois, Pennsylvania and other liberal holes are changing the local political make-up.
Ahhh, the socialist workers paradise isn't good for the young, heavily taxed workers.
Proud to be "childishly illogical"....now and again.
Maybe they just don't like living in the 1960's all the time.
And we don't even miss you.
Your tax dollars at work . . .
Actually, the Mass refugee counties are the reddest in the state.
This line is repeated and repeated, but it just isn't true.
The centers of the NH RAT ascendency are 1) Immigrants and refugees in Manchester; 2) Vermont-bordering areas; 3) Poor areas north of the notches full of displaced factory workers; and 4) Campuses and Concord.
