My brother brought up this pension-to-move situation a decade ago. They were already appearing in Alabama (my home state) at that point. Between lesser taxation on the pensions, there’s usually lower property taxation. I’ll bet between permanent movement and RV-campers, there’s probably 400,000 who’ve moved to Alabama and set-up some type of permanent or long-term stay. All of this simply adds to sales tax revenue, and general profits for small towns throughout the state.
Whadda ya mean are you sure? Some lefties will move to Tx./Fla and not blame leftist taxes. Just look at all the Florida retirees. I say concentrate the lefties in deep blue states by moving government functions there. Women’s march in Kona. Move the Social Security Administration there. It’s all online anyway. Hilo is underdeveloped. Passive aggressive. Paradise with island fever thrown in. Downsize while making a transfer they CAN refuse. I got a million of em’.
