Where Are People Moving to in 2024? Hint: There’s Been a Shift! (Los Angeles and Bay area lead list of cities where people are fleeing the most)

Rising rent prices, a housing struggle, high tax rates, and overcrowding are common issues in many of the cities that top this year’s move-out list. Los Angeles returns in the number one spot, followed by major metropolitan cities (and repeat offenders) like San Francisco, Miami, and Long Island, NY (part of the greater NYC area that PODS services). Unsurprisingly, these cities are also some of the most expensive metro areas in the country.

From the article: We’re seeing more people move to the Southern Appalachian region, which includes states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. People are also continuing to move to select Florida cities and long-standing retirement favorites such as Boise, Portland (ME), and Phoenix.

If you're one of the people fleeing the crapholes, please learn from your mistakes and not make the good places you're moving to into new crapholes.

VERY happy to see we are not on the list.

The only way liberals can move everywhere and “turn places blue” is if the majority of the USA population is liberal. If that’s the case, most everywhere WILL be blue eventually and should be blue.

That is the WONDER of our Federalist system.

If your State is going crazy with NONSENSE,...you can find solace in a different STATE.

Please God, we MUST remain a REPUBLIC.

Looking for new nests to foul.

It seems to me that the MOVERS are turning the areas RED.

The “EYE OF THE BEHOLDER” is true.

“Glass half, half full”

I SEE THE GLASS HALF ...FULL.

[Maris Crane]

I do NOT believe the majority of the population is Left.

I think many of us have us have realized that we are more conservative than we thought.

[Deplorable American1776]

True, I just saw I could move to a 4 bedroom 5 bath home on 10 acres for less than what I can get for my house on 6 acres.

[Lonely Are The Brave]

Happy not to see my state not on the list. It’s an old Confederate state with beautiful rural settings. That said, I look around and there are a lot of folks moving in from different states into newly built housing developments. Somebody has discovered us. It’s a two-edged sword.

[SaxxonWoods]

I agree. That’s why all this panic over every place turning Blue is BS.

[Ge0ffrey]

I moved from NY to SC in 2019, just before the pandemic hit. One of my rare good life decisions.

[SaxxonWoods]

Agreed! I love my red area in “blue” Colorado.

[Maris Crane]

Hang in there, maybe you can influence some in Colorado, which shocks me to see what has happened to that state.

Maybe all the Leftie Skiers have done some damage.

[Organic Panic]

Spreading the liberal cancer to their new areas.

[eastexsteve]

A lot of them are moving here to East Texas. And, I’m not liking it.

California used to be Hell on Earth I and New York Hell on Earth II. Now that is reversed.

You nailed it. I moved to CA in 1973, bought my first home here in '78, upgraded to another home in a nice town on the SF Peninsula in '83. Both my wife and I are sick at what the evil far-left has done to CA. We bought a summer home in Idaho in '18 and my wife moved there permanently in the '20 pandemic. The day her school district shut down, she grabbed the dog and took off for Idaho.

I really miss the CA weather and natural beauty (especially during the winter), so I come back to CA when I can. The cold, dark, gloomy, and wet winters in the Inland Northwest really get to me. That's probably because I spent my first 16 years in upstate New York enduring that every day. When I moved to CA when I was 21, I realized I could have 250 days of sunshine vs 250 days of gloom. So it's hard for me to go back to that in North Idaho.

So I put all the government crap out of my mind and enjoy our beautiful area. Yesterday I hiked about seven miles and 1,200 feet elevation gain at the Montebello Preserve on the SF Peninsula. I went from Redwood forests and streams in the canyon to the top of Black Mountain. It's hard to beat. At 72, I don't have a lot more years of that type of hiking left.

That's the ocean out there under the fog bank...

I would avoid Jacksonville, FL unless you are armed.
