Why people are getting the hell out of the Northeast

NY Post ^

Liberal policies driving out businesses and people.

Unfortunately the libs bring their Democrat voting with them.

Not climate change and rising tides?

[Mercat]

Kansas?

[SamAdams76]

That may be so but the traffic still sucks around here. And good luck finding a table at a decent restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night.

These states are exporting liberals to conservative places by their taxes and regulations.

Liberals looking for other nests to foul.

Kansas?

Having in lived in Wichita for about a year back in the 80's, I don't understand how they could ever get anyone to stay.

That's the truth. I was talking to two of my coworkers were talking earlier -- one of them, a rather flamboyent gay guy incidentally, is looking to buy a house. He's talking about how great the Carolinas are and how much cheaper and just plain nicer the south is. I've never discussed politics with him, but I'm assuming a gay dude from Boston is probably pretty far left.

Myself, I _like_ grey overcast days. Got sick of all the constant sunshine in California.

But that’s just me.

The problem with the Northeast is the people. I could deal with the cold if I had to. The people? Not so much.

I was stationed at Ft. Riley from 92-95 and I concur.

Raise the minimum wage and free benefits. People will come back in droves for the freebies. At least in the summertime they will. Oh, free housing will draw them too, more free housing!

Article citing data from Pew charitable trust? Yokay then. They’re not a lib/prog org much.

He'll feel right at home in Asheville, Charlotte or Raleigh. Most of the rest of the state? Not so much.

I agree, Wichita is really a pit, just ask Earl Thompson...some parts of Kansas, however, are really nice, if you like the rural lifestyle.

The sinking Earth and flooding from rising sealer/ocean level?

The problem with the Northeast is the people.

AMEN!!! Nasty. Just nasty.

The jobs are leaving so you have to follow where the work is going. Also taxes and the cost to live, including housing basics, is more than 20X a typical laborers wages. The transportation systems are clogged if you want to get to work. Shopping is minimal so it’s on-line or probably nothing. If you have property you have to get a permit and only used licensed workers to have ANYTHING done on your own property (too costly so we do it ourselves and are now criminals).

I can go on and on.

I’m in NJ and I cannot WAIT to get the hell out of this s**thole and down to FLorida!!!

Desperately looking to set up employment before I do, though....

[CincyRichieRich]

Because even in cold weather, libtards stink?
