As a lifelong NY resident I feel I can safely say it is the worst run state in the country. The politics have become absurd, Kafkaesque. And I mean at every level, from the Governor on down to the insanely stupid NYC council, the DA's and judges who refuse to enforce the law. And on top of all that, hardworking middle class people are bled dry by the insane cost of living, taxes, etc just for the privilege of living amid this lunacy.

Yup, native Long Islander here. The 2022 governor election is a good sign even though Lee Zeldin lost by 6 points. The Presidential election in New York could be interesting because of 3rd party candidates but Joe Biden will still probably win. Gillibrand is up for re-election too so even though she will win the margin could be lower than Chuck Schumer who won by 14 points.

I’m a southerner soon fleeing to the Northeast, interestingly. The extremely sprawling manner in which Southern cities are growing is something that I suspect will be regrettable 20 years from now. It’s hotter here than when I was a child. People are finding out in places like Florida, Texas, and Arizona that the sunbelt is just as capable of being rather overpriced, especially when some places also have lower wages and poorer services than elsewhere like say, the Midwest. When growth slows, the maintenance costs of the low density will come home to roost. HOAs are not to be trusted. The only people who win in our declining economy are the early movers

@Electrodexify Месяц назад

A lot of people are easily herded and follow propaganda to the latest trendy place. Right now a lot of people are moving to the sunbelt and ruining it for everyone else. Also these sunbelt cities have to plan haphazardly and end up doing improper suburban growth. Meanwhile the midwest is growing very healthy and urban planning is being done properly. Also the midwest has plenty of filters to keep undesirable out and only family oriented people are attracted to places like Omaha Nebraska

My wife and I own our home outright but the cost of living here is so high if one of us dies the survivor can't afford to stay in this home! Our insurance rates have more than tripled! Our state and county taxes are so high we have to pay them twice a year to save enough from our SSI to pay them. Gas prices are the highest in the nation! Going to the market is now a luxury. We are no longer able to go out to dine, restaurants or fast food. On top of it all the Governor is the biggest tax and spend governor the state has ever seen!!!! He does nothing for the people that have lived and worked in the state and reached retirement! If you are a homeless drug addict you get a free ride. If you are an illegal alien you get everything from housing to insurance for free! California is no longer the dream it once was. Time to get the hell out and leave it for the liberals!!

Until then, nothing will get better and likely grow worse. My advice--stop blaming everyone else and look in the mirror. Change begins with you.

@capuchinmarmoset Месяц назад

I'm from Louisiana too, unfortunately I'm being pressured out by lack of opportunity. There are so few jobs around me, and the ones that exist pay poorly compared to what I could be earning in other states doing the same jobs. Certain things are cheaper here, but a lot are the same prices they are in California or New York, and salaries/wages are deflated here compared to the national average so COL isn't as low as people portray it. It's hard to support yourself here. Hopefully things change in the future and things get better, since a lot of people are struggling.

A lot of the roads here were built in the times of colonial America, and are simply not up to the task of handling that amount of traffic. Job opportunities, at least in my field of engineering, are pretty poor, not much tech stuff going on here, and the closest place where tech actually happens is at least 45 minutes away in rush hour traffic due to aforementioned limitations of the roads.

Being a native Texan (DFW area), I am now live in rural Louisiana. I totally agree there are absolutely no decent jobs in Louisiana other than if you are petroleum engineer. Being a retired Manufacturing Engineer, no chance whatsoever of employment in my field in Louisiana. Crime outside the major cities here is very low and is one of the major factors for living here. Low paying jobs abound here with help wanted signs virtually at every type of business. We chose not to retire in Texas due high crime, extreme driving congestion, and the current high cost of living there. Nowadays, we can drive there mainly to attend funerals of friends and love ones.

It's so sad to see Louisiana on the list. As someone who immigrated to the US, I didn't much choice where to go but I grew up in Louisiana. I see it as my home but with so many people leaving, there's brain drain and they're leaving for the right reasons. You can't defend Louisiana from its corrupt state government, shocking that while other states are thriving, ours isn't. We're abundant in resources yet these companies especially oil companies aren't being taxed for fear of leaving the state. If you check out "Why Louisiana is Poor" video on youtube, you'll see why these oil companies are taxed at 0.1% of the revenue they make. The politicians aren't any better, we'll see how Landry will work out. The intense hurricanes, on top of lack of tourism (louisiana is a straight flat state), high crime rate (crime rate in the US is going down but it is still generally high in Louisiana compared to its neighboring states), lack of job opportunities, terrible education system and more. Some are uncontrollable but most are controllable yet decades of neglect have shaped this state to decay despite its rich resources. The only one keeping us from reaching 50th place is Mississippi. It's not even funny at this point. Disappointed as a Gen Z when Millennials and Boomers could have prevented this from happening in the first place but nobody cares anymore. The options you have as a Gen Z is leave. Everybody in here seemly gave up to make any change because it takes decades of repairing this broken down system to make it work again. Yet, every other state is moving forward causing us to lag behind even more. Don't get me started with our French constitution that's still use to this day that limits how taxes work. This state is so broken that it has to be fixed on a constitutional level in order to even start.

Moving from Florida to Pennsylvania because the total tax liability in PA is FAR lower in Pennsylvania... Florida may not have an income tax but the sales tax is greater. Additionally, the homeowners insurance in PA is far less expensive (my condo in Florida - not on coast- is $4000 a year whereas, my homeowners insurance is $1000 for a larger condo.) Additionally, PA was ranked number one in states for retirement because retirement income is not taxed. Another difference is the far lower auto insurance rates in PA. Finally, my HOA in Florida is over $800 per month but in PA the HOA is only $125 a month.

When the actual census of 2020 was released, in a big surprise to no one but the census bureau, it showed that we had actually gained a few percentage points of population. Also I’m pretty sure that the final estimates before the 2020 census were off by over a couple of percentage points in multiple states.

Cities and their suburbs tend to be the driver of population growth, and Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, New Orleans, etc. are all in rough shape.

You’re right about that. Louisiana is suffering from brain drain, and other problems, such as crime, lousy education, and recently high insurance rates.

The "Fleeing" narrative for NY and CA is pretty nonsensical. It's more like "getting priced out" or "overflowing". Fleeing implies that the condition is bad and undesirable, which would lead to high income people leaving first. The underlying desirability of NY and CA is still sky high. CA is still the best place in the US for economy, nature, weather, amenities, etc. A good life in CA is about as good as it gets in the US. People who can afford CA (mostly tech workers) are still flocking to CA en masse. The issue is that not everyone can afford CA anymore. So the lower income people get priced out, and move to cheaper places. Most of them would love to own a home and live in CA, but they can't. So they go to TX, CO, midwest and other places that offer less but also cost less. That's why you see people bringing their lifestyle and politics to these places. They never disliked those aspects. It's really just the cost. TX is not being pursued by Californians for whatever it offers. It's being colonized by Californians, who would love to recreate California, but just with 1990s affordability. Saying that people are "fleeing" CA and NY to move to TX or midwestern states is like saying that people are "fleeing" steakhouses by going to McDonalds.
