The great exodus out of America’s blue cities
The Hill ^ | 4/24/2018 | Kristin Tate

Posted on 04/24/2018 3:03:17 PM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

Am I the only one in my spinning class at Equinox in Manhattan who’s fed up paying $200 every month for a gym with clean showers, $3,000 in rent every month for an apartment without cockroaches and $8 every morning for a cup of coffee? Am I the only one moving through the greater part of New York City boroughs and seeing an inexorable march of urban decay matched with the discomfort of crowding and inexplicable costs? I know I am not.

Positive of Exodus: Fewer electoral votes for the blue states.

Negative of Exodus: They are moving to red states and turning them purple and maybe blue.

Dear Mx. Tate.

Regards from FOC.

Nevada has a giant Ahole running for governor on a pro abortion, anti assault weapon, anti slide-fire stock, anti suppressor, anti NRA platform and is on tv every damned minute. Must cost millions for his statewide advertising campaign. California has destroyed Nevada.

Reminds me of the Dennis Prager video intended for immigrants who vote socialist: “Immigrants, don’t vote for what you fled!”
If those policies made the place you left so bad you left, don’t ruin the new home by voting for those same policies. It isn’t that we’re richer in people or material wealth - it is that those policies RUIN a place.

That’s a BIG negative, there. They turn them blue and like the cesspool that they left behind. Even worse.

Wow. That’s us. We are moving to the deep south from...Manhattan. But we promise to never, ever vote for a Dem or for high taxes or for a sanctuary state or town. We are devoted to conservative principles.

Liberals move to other states and recreate the environment they left behind.

I’m not surprised though.

A decent Manhattan apartment for $3K/mo? It’s a bargain - I’ll take it!

I think it's spinning delusional tales that one's so smarter than everybody else while paying to ride a stationary bike that goes nowhere.

If one wasn't so delusional, one could be demanding that the ne'er-do-wells be locked up so one could take a brisk walk in the city on the cheap, without fear of being attacked by the now-locked-up ne'er-do-wells.

Unfortunately, developers are colluding with politicians to urbanize suburban and rural areas, lowering quality of life.

Manhattan is expensive.

What people don’t want to live in less trendy parts of NYC?

Its not the end of the world if you don’t live near Times Square or Central Park.

“California has destroyed Nevada.”

I guess so.

And with Steve Wynn now gone (or no longer Mr. Big), the odds of NV going to the dogs just went up exponentially.
