If blue state policies work so well, why do their residents leave -- and support the same policies that caused them to leave?

you can do anything with statistics and this is a perfect example.

Dems have won 6 0f last 8 residential elections but Republicans have won 7 of last 12. Republicans have also controlled the Congress 12 of last 20 yrs and the House 16 of last 20 yrs.

Looked up the word “gun”, not to be found.

I know MANY PEOPLE, including family members, that don’t want to move to a gun-unfriendly state. They may for short-term (one of the rare well-paying jobs there), but never to live out their lives. Likewise, I don’t know of anyone scared to move to South because of our “gun culture”, because anyone living in the US is living in our “gun culture”, the only question being whether the good guys are allowed to be armed too.

And that MUST BE affecting those states, economically. Give me two otherwise-equal job choices, one in a red and one in a blue state, and the blue state has A LOT of ground to cover before I’d consider moving there (and they’re usually more expensive, on top of that). I’ll take Kansas over Boston any day of the week...give me $50k in Kansas, and I’ll take it over $100k in New York, considering the high cost of living and the freedoms you have to give up.

I can attest to the infestation from NY to Georgia. The NY tags are everywhere. They move down here and then vote to turn our state into the same chithole they left behind.

Because they are progressives and are incapable of learning. They do not connect their problems with their ideology, so they keep repeating the same mistakes. I believe it is the definition of insanity.

New Yorkers have moved to North Carolina and Virginia — and, of course, have continued moving to Florida.

Prime example of how very little NYT reporters know about the subject in question.

It appears that they are implying that New Yorkers move to NC & VA, then continue to Florida. Actually, it is the other way around. They FIRST move to Florida, learn that it is HOT & HUMID in the summer, then move half the way BACK to NY, i.e., to North Carolina where it is cooler.

'Round here we call them "half-backs".

On the other hand, they may be trying to say that NY'ers NOW also are moving to NC & VA and that they continue to move from NY to Fla.

English is my second language, so I may have misunderstood. My native language is "grit".

Calling it migration is really misleading. These are the smarter roaches leaving the next for greener pastures because the nest’s they’ve made are dying.
