Ahhh, the socialist workers paradise isn't good for the young, heavily taxed workers.

Maybe they just don't like living in the 1960's all the time.

I saw on the news last night that to combat this, some foolish member of the MA General Court, Brian Joyce, is going to propose legislation offering students $10,000 loans towards the purchase of a new home in Massachusetts.

Your tax dollars at work . . .

Whatever you New Englanders do, don't move to Texas. It's awful here. You will hate it.

Why are young people leaving New England?



"They can't afford it...They can't afford it...."


"And their father's an Alcoholic..."

[RetSignman]

It just might mean the same reason I escaped from NY in '76...TAXES AND SOCIAL FREEDOM.

They'll move back when the aging liberal population dies off eventually. But it's interesting that New England may start mimicking Europe in its population decline.

Sadly, though, too much power is still concentrated in California. If we could get people to move out of there into other states, like Utah, . . .

Why would anyone want to raise a child in Massachusettes?

It seems the article is not telling the whole story, not even 1/2 the story.


Boston has a nightmarish school system.

The boston globe is wrtiting articles about the glory of childless "unmarried" single person appartments. (for those in rio linda, that appartments for homosexuals)

Lets go onto oppressive taxation, zero homestead protection.

INSANE home owner associations in all new home developments.

I think the left is REJOICING in families leaving. It promotes their bunker mentality.

I don't know. At 25 I left NY and moved to NH where there are better jobs, no income or sales tax, no gun laws, friendly motorcycle laws, etc etc.

It's called: "voting with your feet"

[underbyte]

They are not counting the 9% increase in illegals in Ansonia Ct. So CT is probably on par with MA

Just depends on what you want to count and how you want to interpret the results

[ripley]

i've heard that boston is a rather exclusive place. only certain individuals are desired. the rest are given the bum's rush.

[Disturbin]

Have you heard "multiple choice" Joyce's new plan to give ten grand to each graduating college student so they can use it as a down payment, as long as they stay here for five years?

[RockinRight]

See what you started, honey! :)

[Antoninus]

I know I did.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

To see similar improvement in New England, several overlooked New England cities "need to think of more cultural amenities, such as music and clubs, to make themselves more attractive," Gittel said.

Typical liberal knee-jerk solution. Not all young adults aren't into non-stop partying. Some of them just want to start a family and find a job after graduating from college.

Here's a hint: Get rid of your high property and income tax rates and stop trying to legislate immorality. Also start building nuclear power plants for long-term energy.

New England and upstate New York are beautiful areas that should have no problem attracting people to live there.

[Professional Engineer]

"Boston doesn't promote itself and market itself to young people as much as other areas," Gittell said.

Sure it does. Taxes and other liberal lunacy however, aren't given due credit.
