The roads were overcrowded, the trains were always late and many cars weren't even heated, my parents paid 2x the price for their house in 1998 than what I did a few years ago, property taxes are higher, everything was expensive, and since we lived in the suburbs there wasn't much to do. The weather was also absolutely miserable for the majority of the year\nNow I live in NC. I'm not having kids. Everything's much more affordable, much less crowded, and nothing has the feeling that it's slowly crumbling. I live in the city proper so there's a lot much more to do and social life is a lot easier. The weather is a lot nicer. I don't really mind when there's a heatwave. My friends and I just get together in the evening. It's not like we can do anything in the afternoon M-F anyway. I've also never had a power outage in NC, whereas we often got multiple every few years growing up. \nIMO this thread is full of copium by people living in blue states. Sure red states have problems, but the pros outweigh the cons in a huge way that's extremely noticeable every day. The idea that these places are secretly shitty and everyone is gonna come flocking back to the northeast (and California honestly) is fictional. You guys would be better off acknowledging the problems you have and working to fix it. California has the right idea by investing in grid battery storage and requiring more housing to be built, but IMO they aren't going far enough to really change the CoL enough." ]

Maybe for families, but my wife and I pull in ~100k+ combined, live in a small townhouse style home an 8min walk from a blue line stop, and live comfortably.", ">\n\n100K+ is literally \"six figures or more\". Your anecdote does not contradict what you're replying to", ">\n\nIt does though \"live comfortably\" was part of his statement", ">\n\nThe thumbnail pic of SLC got me! I was like huh that is NOT Boston, but tried to imagine mountains like that in the Northeast somewhere.", ">\n\nInteresting that Washington, where I live, is the only blue state in the top 10 states for numeric growth in population. I wonder if they’re wfh folks who’ve been attracted by no state income tax.", ">\n\nTwilight fans, obviously.", ">\n\nMoved from NC to MA six months before covid hit. Its expensive as fuuuuuuuuuuck but my wife and i make around 3 times what we did back in NC and have substantially better workers and renters rights. Fair trade in my eyes.", ">\n\nIf you ever need a doctor, the medical care is much better.", ">\n\nDue to cost. \nPlaces seeing rapid growth are also forecast to be hit harder and harder by weather or lack of rain.", ">\n\nImma do my best to stay in the north east. We really looking a lot better than most of the US, outside states like Iowa.", ">\n\nAt least we can go outside during the summer.", ">\n\nI grew up in MA and left for Washington state and didn’t move back. That was 20 years ago. The biggest difference in my mind is that Washington plans for growth, ie new housing,whereas MA and the rest of New England restrict it as much as possible. So the bang for your buck in MA vs WA is terrible.", ">\n\nPeople need to stop moving to Maine.", ">\n\npretty sure this is going to start to reverse in coming years if it hasn't begun already. \nthere is a lot to be said for high property taxes if they provide good schools, roads etc. \nA lot of what I see in the south (NC+GA) is zero infrastructure investment, over-inflated housing prices and resentment of school budgets....can't speak for Fla and Tx.", ">\n\nGrew up in Philly, currently in Austin TX and planning to move back to the East in the next five years. Cost of living and Property Taxes are high here and the way school funding is set up a huge chunk of my money doesn’t go to the local schools. I have two tween/teen daughters, one of them LGBTQ, and I predict an exodus of more progressive families like me out of the higher COL southern cities.", ">\n\nThe south will start to have some of the same issues the northeast has. The big cities cant/wont build fast enough to keep prices low. The long term infrastructure bill always comes due at some point (and without rapid population growth the only way to pay for it is to up taxes or allow degraded services).", ">\n\nI moved from NY to FL for a few years. Was it nice not having state income tax? Indeed. But my property insurance was as much as my property tax here, traffic was goddamn miserable, and the summer heat is oppressive. Not to mention like 1 out of 4 drivers is uninsured and that was also expensive as hell. I'll stick with WNY, thanks.", ">\n\nFuck Florida in case that wasn't clear enough for you. Hot, humid, giant man-eating lizards. Nuff said.", ">\n\nI can’t speak for NJ or PA, but can definitely understand the exodus from NY. \nThe taxes and general cost of living is just ridiculous and seemingly only getting worse. My general area’s property taxes are around the $12-14k mark, with $5-6k going to school taxes alone. Based on those numbers, you’d think the area would be somewhat amazing, but it’s really not. \nThat said, nothing would get me to move to states like Florida or Texas, or really most of the southern states.", ">\n\nAh yes, Texas -- the land of tolerance.", ">\n\nConnecticut has some of the most racist cops in the nation", ">\n\nIn the world view of the typical left of center social media user whose nose is lead around by the zeitgeist promulgated by other people they really can't actually think beyond slogans and ideas they were taught and either offer snark or weak sauce. \nTheir beliefs are standardized products that they never realize that they bought rather than developed on their own. \nThey're functionally pod people. \nI basically offered a nuanced explanation of how I moved to an excellent place in Texas that would otherwise plink the dopamine receptors of NE liberals (diversity!, low crime, ready access to a major urban center, amazing schools) but because it is in Texas it is shut down mentally. It can't be good. It is Texas. I literally spell out that I'm not a Conservative (actually a SocDem) and that my vote might in some small tiny way help in the eventual purple shift of Texas. Nope, it is Texas. \nBecause their programming won't allow the nuance to enter their heads and start the process of cognitive dissonance. It isn't that they're stupid, it's that they're still in the cave and wouldn't dream of coming out. I believe something similar about most politically engaged Americans tbh. \n(Yeah NE cops can be brutal like cops anywhere I upvoted you)", ">\n\nIt's crazy how polarized the debate is these days. Someone recently told me on Reddit that they know Biden is a racist but If I don't vote for him again that I'm enabling fascism. I was like.... HUH", ">\n\nWhen you constantly \"settle\" you constantly get what you actually voted for. \nAnd people either need to accept that or they need to demand more from politicians up to and including withholding their vote as a final measure. \nI could see the need to sometimes strategically vote in extreme situations but once you start doing that forever you eventually start to mold your beliefs to your compromise.", ">\n\nAs a former Salem Mass resident, the winters are bruuuutal. I didn’t last more than two years until I left for a warmer state.", ">\n\nWarm humid weather sucks. \nI could deal with dry desert heat in the southwest but you couldn't pay me to move from New England to Florida or anywhere else in the southeast.", ">\n\nI'm the exact opposite, the heat is terrible. I can always bundle up more, even inside. When it gets too hot, there's little you can do.", ">\n\nYeah, put it this way, I can sleep just fine in cold environments (bundled up) but can't sleep in hot humid environments without AC which costs money.", ">\n\nYep. Also having worked well below zero, and having to wear PPE in 112', humid, heat in a greenhouse, 100% cold. Most people I know who've worked both prefer the cold, it's not as debilitating as the heat and you can still keep warm. When the A/C goes off in the summer, there's nothing you can do. When it's cold, just work harder, wear more, eat more.", ">\n\nits too fucking expensive\n-from someone who moved out because its too fucking expensive", ">\n\nI might consider moving up there when climate change makes the south and west unlivable and upgrades northern winters to bearable.", ">\n\nIt has it's issues for sure, but the West is becoming a desert, the South is a Republican garbage pit, and the Midwest is the Midwest. The Northeast is for those that can brave it.", ">\n\nI wonder if people who move cross-country are particularly representative of the general population or if they are different.", ">\n\nToo expensive and the roads suck", ">\n\nThe site is boston.com bro", ">\n\nAnd here I thought it was for the hurricanes and fragile electric grid.", ">\n\nFor the right to not have a choice and harsh weed laws.", ">\n\nInterestingly that the majority of these states mentioned are among those that have the highest taxation rate, and/or blue states. The property tax rates alone in New York, New Jersey are insane.", ">\n\nThe northeast is generally blue and high tax. No anomaly.", ">\n\nThe flip is that we're typically #1 in every QoL metric.\nYour taxes might be low in other states, but you're paying for it in other ways.\nEdit:\nSome sauce 💅", ">\n\nYea taxes aren't just some arbitrary fee that goes nowhere despite what many may think", ">\n\nVerifiably false statements my guy\nI'm blue collar in MA, and even though I wasn't educated in MA, I'm smart enough to understand the bigger picture and realize that even if I don't use the MBTA or whatever infrastructure projects are going on in Boston, the increased productivity from them means more tax dollars from that side of the state can help my side of the state with its infrastructure projects.\nBlue states overrepresent the top 1/3 of states for QoL metrics. The bottom 1/3 is disproportionately red states.\nImagine a world in which Mississippi holds the #2 spot behind Massachusetts, or hell, even topples it. Let me tell you, the people who want to see that are not the ones with an (R) next to their name.\nYou hold your views because red states literally do waste your tax dollars.", ">\n\nOh boy, guy is taking over six hours to reply I’m so excited to see what he’s researched!", ">\n\nHe's prob just jerking off to crowder owning libs.", ">\n\nI blame the lost of SALT tax benefits --- property taxes are high in MA, CT and NJ. Would be nice if they were tax deductible per before Trump.", ">\n\nThey are deductible again, through 2026 at least. It was one of the first things Pelosi and Biden did. Where were you?", ">\n\nReally I didn't see it in last year's taxes.", ">\n\nThis is good news. Spread the blue far and wide.", ">\n\nNortheast of what ? China ?", ">\n\nMoved to Georgia. No regrets! And it's getting better every year. Great economy , decent weather and just overall a good place to raise a family.", ">\n\nI grew up in CT. \nThe only thing good about that place was the public school system. The roads were overcrowded, the trains were always late and many cars weren't even heated, my parents paid 2x the price for their house in 1998 than what I did a few years ago, property taxes are higher, everything was expensive, and since we lived in the suburbs there wasn't much to do. The weather was also absolutely miserable for the majority of the year\nNow I live in NC. I'm not having kids. Everything's much more affordable, much less crowded, and nothing has the feeling that it's slowly crumbling. I live in the city proper so there's a lot much more to do and social life is a lot easier. The weather is a lot nicer. I don't really mind when there's a heatwave. My friends and I just get together in the evening. It's not like we can do anything in the afternoon M-F anyway. I've also never had a power outage in NC, whereas we often got multiple every few years growing up. \nIMO this thread is full of copium by people living in blue states. Sure red states have problems, but the pros outweigh the cons in a huge way that's extremely noticeable every day. The idea that these places are secretly shitty and everyone is gonna come flocking back to the northeast (and California honestly) is fictional. You guys would be better off acknowledging the problems you have and working to fix it. California has the right idea by investing in grid battery storage and requiring more housing to be built, but IMO they aren't going far enough to really change the CoL enough.", ">\n\nI searched and found that North Carolina was much more populous than Connecticut, which is interesting", ">\n\nThe US needs to reform its immigration system and bring in a lot more refugees in the future.", ">\n\nYes, but how does that apply to this article?", ">\n\nBecause this is a problem that will only get worse in the future particularly in Florida. Just look at Detroit and the rust belt and see how changing demographics affected them", ">\n\nFlorida’s only population issue is the state is becoming too expensive for entry level laborers. Otherwise a lack a people is definitely not an issue down here as it is in the rust belt.", ">\n\nSouthwest ain't carrying them away!", ">\n\n$500,000 for a 3 bedroom house and 0 residential development since the 2008 crash has lead to a lot of young people packing up and heading out.\nWe are in a MASSIVE labor shortage up here with no end in sight. \nThere is no where to live." ]
