I do suspect that the destruction of blue cities is a planned event to move liberals into purple states.
I drove through central Oregon recently and locals at the coffee shop told me that their seeing a big influx of potential buyers from Portland.
Here in my Washington State, each passing year I see more and more liberal signs of trouble in the traditionally rural/conservative areas.
It’s a people thing. Drugs, wokesters, homeless, illegals, indoctrinated young people, freak crowd...they are expanding and conquering.
Those changes have happened in Spokane. The bums and druggies are everywhere. I’m starting to see more evidence of that in the Coeur d’Alene area now. Gang graffiti is just starting to show up for the first time ever!

It’s a replay of what I saw starting to happen in Palo Alto, CA about 45 years ago.
Florida real estate is being bought sight unseen from California and New York state transplants. In many cases there are bidding wars and houses are going for $20K - $30K over asking.
