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.
Make NorCal weird again
Until they live there for a few years and realize red states SUCK and move back home. I tried UT, tried to make it work for 8 years and finally moved back to a blue state this past Fall.
That's a very polite way of saying...liberals have ruined great cities and even entire states, so people are flocking out of them like a migrant caravan out of central America...coincidentally ruined by similar ideologies...
They will miss the coast.... Well at least some of them.
Lol watch when those folks get to wherever they are going...how soon do they realize they made a mistake? Too late. U R replaced.
I think I read this story 20 years ago.
Welcome to Florida.
The Blue Wave is coming to a Red State city near you.
