We can see what democrats opened the border and invited illegals to their cities. They are intended to replace populations loss resulting in less workers and tax revenues.


Heavily Democratic cities and counties have experienced significant population declines, with a net loss of 3.7 million residents between 2020 and 2023, often shifting to suburban, Republican-leaning areas. Key factors driving this trend include high costs of living, remote work flexibility, public safety concerns, and the search for affordable housing.

Key Trends and Data

• Major Population Shifts: From 2020 to 2023, Democratic-led counties experienced a net loss of 3.7 million people, while Republican counties gained 3.7 million.
• Shrinking States: Major Democratic-leaning states, particularly California, New York, and Illinois, have seen notable population declines.
• Fastest Shrinking Cities: Cities like St. Louis experienced rapid declines, losing over 21,000 residents between 2020 and 2024.
• Suburban Growth: People are moving to suburbs, often in swing states like Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which are becoming more politically competitive.

Factors Driving the Exodus

• Cost of Living: High housing costs and taxes in urban areas are driving residents away.
• Remote Work: The rise in remote work has allowed residents to leave crowded cities for less expensive locations.
• Quality of Life: Concerns over crime and homelessness in cities have motivated residents to move to places perceived as safer and less crowded.
• Policy Differences: High energy prices and, in some cases, progressive policy environments are cited as factors for leaving states like California and Washington.

While overall national population growth remains low, the trend shows a clear migration from large Democratic urban centers towards smaller, often more conservative areas.

Many reasons, costs of living probably high up on the list of considerations.

Blue states want much higher taxes which is a reason wealthy folks move to greener pastures.

Democrats are stupid enough to think that they can run away from themselves.

High taxes and living costs high crime, homeless, poop on the streets, and illegals lowering wages and increasing crime

 

[ColonelAngus]

Blue states want much higher taxes which is a reason wealthy folks move to greener pastures.

And yet these phucktards vote blue.

I see it in Florida ALL THE TIME.

WE HAVE SO MANY STUPID DICKHEADS DOWN HERE WHO MOVED AWAY FROM PLACES LIKE CONNECTICUT AND JERSEY AND NY BECAUSE OF THE COST OF LIVING AND CONTINUE TO VOTE DEM.

They do not associate lefty policies with high cost of living. It is BIZARRE.

I find it telling that Spanberger's margin of victory was almost exactly the number of New Yorkers that have transplanted themselves into NOtVA since 2022.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Dems have made my state too expensive.

Let me move to a red state and vote to also make that state too expensive to live.

PHUCKING RETARDED.

When I lived in both Fairfax and Loudon counties, Leesburg was the STICKS.

Now Northern Virginia has nothing in common with the rest of the state. (Except around Richmond, Charlottesville, and Blacksburg…government employees and college students and faculty)

I worked at a prison on West Ox Road back in the early 70s.....There was basically nothing between Centerville and Fairfax City except for a couple honky-tonks.

In Centerville (not much there either) you could still see the earthworks the Yankees built during the Civil War. Pretty much the same between Chantilly and Fairfax City.

I lived all over that area from 75-85, then from 97-2001.

Went back a couple years ago, took my younger son to do the DC tourist thing and see RATM at MCI. The whole area is bananas congested now. The home my parents built for $75,000 on an acre in Great Falls is now $1.4 million,
