A combination of the coronavirus pandemic, economic uncertainty, and social unrest is prompting waves of Americans to move from large cities and permanently relocate to more sparsely populated areas. The trend has been accelerated by technology and shifting attitudes that make it easier than ever to work remotely. Residents of all ages and incomes are moving in record numbers to suburban areas and small towns.
A perfect storm of factors makes the decision to leave major cities like New York very obvious. The dense nature of urban living and the lack of proper local government planning led to the coronavirus spreading five times faster in New York than the rest of the country. The city that never sleeps now resembles a ghost town in many areas after thousands of its wealthy and middle-class residents fled early in the pandemic.

Bringing their asswipe voting habits with them
Don’t let them in.
It’s a good demographic-political trend that will last decades.
DON’T VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS WHEN YOU COME TO FLORIDA!
If you are a home owner or business owner in a long term democrat controlled city, you are fooked.
Restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. closed due to COVID power mad mayors. Looting and rioting. Degraded city services. Defunded police. Streets not safe.
The tax base has been voluntarily destroyed. But pensions will be paid. Your property taxes are about to go from insane to ludicrous.
Those that can get out are gettin out. To the outer suburbs or small to mid cities with some sanity left to battle BLM thugs.
There is low to no demand to buy in a big city now. It will only get worse too. Very hard to sell a house or rent commercial space without significant price cuts.
Property taxes WILL be paid.
The most truly fooked are those who purchased expensive and/or fixer upper homes or started a small business, with all life savings, in “gentrification” neighborhoods expecting that sweet equity.
And they are bringing their “Coexist” bumper stickers and “Hate Has No Home Here” lawn signs with them.
I find the absolute best indicator of where not to live is density of Sec. 8 Housing.
A lot of conservative folks are getting out of Dodge.
And after awhile, folks vote more conservative, so that’s a plus.
Good idea until your neighbors sell their houses for above asking prices to people moving into the suburbs.
Under obama, section 8 housing came to the suburbs in a big way.
The donut hole city model is returning.
After the 60’s riots, people & businesses moved out of the city into the suburbs, leaving the city center a husk of its former self.
Some cities, like Detroit, never recovered. Others, after a few decades, did.
Now the donut is back.
They’ve already ruined Virginia, I’m looking elsewhere to escape.
Bringing their asswipe voting habits with them
I tell people I moved from a place where my vote didn’t count to a place where my vote doesn’t count, but for the opposite reason. :)
But yeah, give it 30 years.
Yep they bring their criminal acts and voting ways with them. Their rudeness, their arrogance of how they did it back where they come from.
They created their mess so let them live in it, and leave us all alone.
My neighbor just did that sadly.
Is the density of section 8 housing online?
We were visiting Seattle for the last three weeks (my father died) and my best friends from high school are finally biting the bullet and selling their home and moving out here to rural KY. They are strongly conservative and have just had it with the whole Seattle megalopolis.
For many of us, This is not a move from urban to suburb. It is suburb to rural. Especially us boomers who are retired or retiring.
A spiral to the bottom. The tax base is leaving the cities. These “demonstrations” these city leaders allowed will be harming those who needed help the most...just like most Leftist policies.
