About effin time. Maybe now the yuppies will move back to their trendy lofts and converted warehouses downtown, and leave the country folk alone (stop complaining when they start their farm chores around oh-dark-thirty). Maybe then too the prices will drop back to reasonable levels so I can get my ten acres at an appropriately-valued price.

Exactly. I'm thinking maybe some of the recent demographic changes in New Hampshire and Vermont might start moving the other way as left-wingers start moving back to their traditional haunts. Bein' as their so sensitive about their carbon footprints an' all.

I didn’t even think of that. The lib policies that are allowing prices to rise to ridiculous heights may well rob them of the majority that gave them that power to misuse. If it goes that way, the really Blue states will get more Blue, but some of the pale Blue states will shift back to dark red. Of course, we’ll have to really keep an eye on the electoral college then, because that’s when they’ll start screaming to abolish it and “let every vote count”.
