As the economy continues to crumble and as millions of Americans find it nearly impossible to find a good job, many of them have been wondering if things are any better in other parts of the country. And without a doubt, some areas of the U.S. are complete and total disaster zones at this point. For example, so many houses have been abandoned in Detroit that the mayor has proposed bulldozing one-fourth of the city. In Las Vegas, it was estimated that approximately 65 percent of all homes with a mortgage were "underwater" at the height of the housing crash. The number of people unemployed in the state of California is approximately equal to the populations of Nevada, New Hampshire and Vermont combined.

Me, too. Nothing like experience to make life easier. Just wish we were further off the Toledo-Detroit corridor.
Either the Philippines or Panama.
Some of us are insane.. but in a different GOOD kind of way. ;-)
If there is a real economic meltdown of biblical proportions; then, no state will be safe from the vast mobs of people struggling to survive.
Yes, have lived in some northern states and did not like it a bit! Was just giving some states that seem to be responsible as to the budget. I agree with you though, if I had to pick a place to live (and hope) it would be a Southern State.
Why Wait? Patriots: Relocate, Before the Date is Too Late!
Economic meltdown? Here in Maine we won’t know the difference anyway.
I know, but I was in Presque Isle, Maine in January, 2009 and one morning it was 50 degrees below zero...with no wind. that was the real temp. By about 2:00 PM it reaches a high temp of 10 below zero.
I’ve lived in several southern states and hands-down, TEXAS is the place to be.
Alaska seems tempting for me...
I’m not far off the I-94 corridor (about 10 miles) but hardly anyone knows my little town is here. Tiny little towns like this are a great place to be in the event of trouble.
I hadn’t really thought about it before but I think running out and removing all the road signs might not be a bad idea in the event of a real collapse.
Take ‘em out b4 they can reach WY and MT, please.
I hear you. I’ve still got relatives in Levant, Island Falls and Houlton.
There is none. It has to do w the word “united”.
Stay where you are:
1) stockpile food and ammo for about three months
2)stay low and hidden..and this can be done in the urban areas...
3)wait it out, while the nutjobs off each other within the first couple of months
With a little luck, the entitlement crowd will eat itself alive and sensible leadership will emerge..
Have faith..and shoot straight.
Someplace that has water and food and not very many people.
A friend ouf ours from MA took a job in West Texas and said he’d be back in 2 years.
He loves it there and won’t be returning except for visits.
See my post # 51.
How about Nigeria? I’m always getting notes saying that a rich dude’s left some $21 million and they need to share it so I could make out on that for a while....
