Moving from blue to red again was a shock, I sure miss the quality of public services. This place is falling apart unless you live in the richest suburbs.
Moving from red to blue was a shock. Did you know blue states will actually attempt to improve citizens lives?
I live in Bumfuck, WV. Quite possibly the stupidest state in the Union. Our elected representation perfectly encapsulates the constituents of the state. Moronic, incompetent, and completely unwilling to incite change for a more prosperous future.
I fucking hate it here. I can't wait to be able to move.
they kept MANCHIN around in the hopes of shoring up COAL futures. its shouldved died decades ago.
Once upon a time West Virginia was Woke Virginia
I moved from blue to purple, then red, then redder. It's been an adventure.
I went Michigan, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota, Texas. That last jump was a hard transition. Frankly, I hope we get invaded by Mexico because there's no other way to fix the state government at this point.
I am ethnically Italian. I am culturally San Diegan, aka Mexican. I would have no trouble adjusting.
Hell in the 60's Hollywood you were Mexican.
you can always move to mexico? i known people who moved mexico during my ccollege years. after a semester in cc , he stayed in mexico after that. thailands another option.
But like ... Why would you do that?
Chasing a lower cost of living
I hear New Mexico is beautiful and cheap!
I hear Mexico is also beautiful and cheaper
And how has that worked out for you?
Pretty well other than the people that post my address when I piss them them off for calling out their hate speech.
Its a viable strategy.
Get a career going in a blue state when you've got supports to help you make it.
Make a good amount of money, or get a decent wage/salary.
Then transfer that all to a lower cost area to rest on your laurels and skip out on having to pay into support for the next generation.
Its a perfectly conservative thing to do, pulling up the ladder after you've succeeded with it.
Preach brother. Had no idea, just wanted to move. Now I'm counting the days to get out of here. More money, better public services, cleaner, and COL isn't much of an argument at this point. Although it wasn't a big deal anyway. Rent caught up quick and the only perk is a front yard and backyard I don't use except to walk the dog. Aside from that, it's clear how far a few more dollars for state taxes go. Good learning experience. Loved the people, but no thanks to climate. Political and physical.
the people moving to red are usually republicans, not many of them are wealthy, they moved based on vibes, and covid.
I moved from very blue to just kinda blue.
