YES
I meant to write "of course" but decided it worked better the way it got typoed.
The refugees from California in Colorado: “Dear, this place is almost perfect, less crime, lower taxes, fewer fees than back in Cali- now, it just vote needs some more services!”
Many 'blue' states are very 'white' and already have a low crime rate. Also, many of the those states have high density populations, where gun violence is actually rare.
While some of the least popular states are 'red', their gun violence and murder is higher due to the high gun ownership versus population and general higher crime rates.
until they start trying to import their own "values" for the benefit of the benighted natives.
HEAR! HEAR!
“until they start trying to import their own “values” for the benefit of the benighted natives. “
Fair point...I have to work with some of those losers.
But the frustrating part is that the states the libs leave behind (CA, NY, etc) are getting MORE liberal.
What a condescending, elitist ass**le. The disdain and loathing for anything conservative is as expected from a NY Slimes writer. I also detest the terms “inequality states” and “knowledge states”.
Yes. Next question!
Exactly, if we lived in CA, we might be able to afford a cardboard box in a vacant lot.
Chicago has over 500 murders a year. Think I’ll pass on living in that utopia.
Warm beach with girls in bikinis makes both California and Florida VERY attractive to many people.
Yes
Growing, succeeding?
Pouring in more biz and people does is not the recipe for success.
The last thing CA needs are more people, more strip malls, restaurants, more roads, more traffic etc....We need less people, less government, less people being forced to pay for that government which brought us this disaster and less of most everything else. But you can send some water.
More people brings more government, more taxes, more regulation, more control, and on and on. Look at all your big cities of ya don't believe me.
On top of that, Arizona is too hot for any human being to survive. I advise everyone to avoid it.
Murder rates are not high due to gun ownership, but rather to demographics and the cultures therein.
The murder rate among Norwegian-Americans is comparable to that of the country of Norway. Think about that.
Yes, I'm not ignoring that. That was part of my point. But, I also include suicide as 'murder' in these numbers. Guns are great tool, and many people use them for suicide. Culturally, that is also why the states[bottom 10] have the least gun ownership also have the lowest suicide rates in the US.
Utterly insane. Guns don’t cause suicide.
The NYSlimes is obviously encouraging people to leave Blue states to contaminate Red states with their Liberalism. Beware of those who move to your sane state with their crazy Leftist religion.
Ha!
