Don’t know where you are, but there are lots of new out of staters in LA and TX. I have recently seen California, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, a couple of New Yorks. Same thing happened here in Texas during the mid to late 70’s. The auto industry was on it’s backside and a lot of midwesterners came down here and stayed. The population of Houston at the time was around 1.5 million. Now it is close to 5 million and still growing.
Same thing has been happening here in Tennessee for about the past 10 years. Mostly, it's folks fleeing the northeast, i.e., NY, NJ, CT, NH, VT, MA. Most seem to move to Florida, but can't stand the heat, humidity, 'skeeters and hurricanes and they move halfway back, settling in TN, NC, SC, or VA. We call 'em "halfbacks" around here.
We've also seen a significant influx of folks fleeing California, Minnesota and Michigan. Gee, aren't all three of those states run in large part by Liberal DemocRats?
I’m in Louisiana. We have quite a few Texans coming to LA. Mostly Hispanics but a good bit of others too. It’s probably related to hurricane reconstruction.I’m sure it’s also some who are moving back after fleeing the hurricanes and briefly settling in Texas.
