The ten least moved-to states are diametrically opposed to the states that enjoyed an influx of new arrivals. These states tend to have relatively repressive local and state regimes, high tax rates, problems dealing with Covid-19, long-term lockdowns and school closures.
California was the least moved-to state. It's not surprising since California has been plagued with the virus and under long periods of shutdowns. Some are tired of the blatant hypocrisy. Governor Gavin Newsom broke his own rules by not social distancing when he enjoyed a nice birthday at an expensive restaurant with a large group of friends, while telling everyone else to stay indoors.
They’ve also had awful record breaking forest fires and power outages. San Francisco, similar to New York, found itself too expensive, dirty, divisive, overrun with a large homeless population, along with the open drug usage and increased levels of crime. With the newfound ability to work from anywhere, it was easy to pick-up and move. California has ranked 48th or lower in states that people moved to since 2016.
"The best thing about Tennessee is the southern hospitality. People are decent to one another," said Clay McQuade, U-Haul Company of Knoxville president. He added,"I believe the draw to Tennessee is the rural atmosphere. The government is still not so oppressive on zoning and regulation, so people are able to build, and cities are friendly to business. Tourism is a big draw in this region, mostly for the Great Smoky Mountains. There's plenty to do outdoors.
Which is interesting bc most people voted for the democrats all over the country. Those who like to tax.
Really? Thanks Mr. Obvious.
Good luck finding talented employees.
It's time for being human again
Flipping more states blue!
They are going to Florida I hope they like hot human weather and Hurricanes but whatever. But no going to states that will be under water soon sounds like a great idea to me. Hot oppressive humity is good
Reading between the lines. People with jobs are leaving democrat states for republican ones.
This was inevitable. Too many people in California causes house prices to go up and become unaffordable.
And because liberalism is a disease
