Millions of residents in blue states have migrated to red states within the past 30 years, according to federal data. A policy group that analyzed the data says it's a clear sign that many Americans find Democratic policies unlivable.
From 1990 to 2021, a total of 13 million people left California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Massachusetts and migrated to Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee, Nevada, and South Carolina over the same period.
American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Edward J. Pinto attributes this “blue state exodus” to progressive policies, with high crime, unaffordable housing, high taxes, and rising levels of homelessness and unemployment driving away residents.
“The trend is undeniable: Americans are fleeing progressive states for conservative ones, and they are bringing their incomes with them,” Pinto wrote in a recent op-ed, published in Newsweek.

Pinto says that economically and socially attractive policies in red states, including lowering taxes, enacting tough on crime measures, supporting school choice, and enforcing immigration laws, are likely the reason so many blue state residents have migrated.
Unless Democratic governors shift course, Pinto said, their “states will face a doom loop of permanent decline due to shrinking populations, rising subsidies, diminished economic vitality, increasing poverty, and a less prosperous future.”


Commentary:
People are fleeing high tax, heavily regulated, high crime areas, and moving to red states. This is making red states even redder. It reduces tax revenues in Blue states, and making the disastrous results of Democrat government more noticeable. Yes, Democrats have total control in these states and there is no one there on which they can blame the disaster.

Costs more to live in a Blue State

Costs more to live in a Blue State

Any person that is privileged in employment with the Prog area in control needs to be taxed as per levels of income and pensions and benefits.

Sounds like we have a winner as to a major reason why people are leaving.

Leftist/Democrat taxation

Good job in contributing

That's what forced the democrat Party to import tens of million of Illegals

It is not always taxation
Housing costs much more in Blue States

 

[LeftofLeft]

It is not always taxation
Housing costs much more in Blue States

And you think personal property taxes are helping? How about tolls, commuter taxes, state and local fuel taxes? Democrats at all levels will never learn until they cut spending.

 

[Mr Natural]

Everything that costs more is better.

It’s a fact of life.

 

[initforme]

Good. I hope everyone leaves but me. I would never let politics affect where I reside.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Everything that costs more is better.

It’s a fact of life.

Tell that to our educational system

 

[Silent Warrior]

Costs more to live in a Blue State

True. Mainly because of the failing economic and social policies produced in them.

 

[toobfreak]

From 1990 to 2021, a total of 13 million people left California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Massachusetts and migrated to Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee, Nevada, and South Carolina over the same period.

And the governors and mayors of states like California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Massachusetts have not changed one bit, they don't care, their policies are far more important to them than the people. In fact, California tries to trip you up and make it hard for you if you try to leave!

People are fleeing high tax, heavily regulated, high crime areas, and moving to red states. This is making red states even redder.

I'm not so sure. I've been told these people moving stay blue, they just take their blueness to the new red state, maybe making it less red, because, you know, blue state libs just never learn.

It reduces tax revenues in Blue states,

They just replace them with illegal aliens working for $5.00/hr.

and making the disastrous results of Democrat government more noticeable.

To everyone except the actual democrat governments.

Yes, Democrats have total control in these states and there is no one there on which they can blame the disaster.

They cannot blame when they don't even see the problem.

This is why I am against Trump doing anything with the SALT deduction cap. If states want to tax their residents high then the federal government shouldn't subsidize it. The 2017 tax plan capping SALT deductions at 10K has helped fuel the exodus. Let it continue.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

And these transients who helped create the tax burdens they’re fleeing will just create the same shit in the state they move to. Austin, TX comes to mind.
Democrats suck.

Yes over regulations and taxes..

Ouch...that's painfully true, Friscus!

The closer you get to large urban areas, the bluer and more expensive it gets. It also gets slummier and more dangerous. I don’t particularly like that combination. Who cares if I can walk to a Starbucks. I can drive to one in 5 minutes and pay much lower taxes and live in a much nicer and crime-free neighborhood. Better yet, it takes my in-laws about 15 minutes to drive to a nice grocery store, but they have many acres and even more privacy.
