Does the changing political climate affect population migration between states? Of course, it does, but how? What if we were to express the movement of intra-American migration, not in words, but in the language of numbers? A convenient measure of internal migration could be the U-Haul Index.
If the number of orders for trucks at both destinations is the same, then U-Haul has no problems.
If the number of orders is not the same, then U-Haul must hire drivers to relocate the empty trucks, and then pay to transport these drivers back. In this case, the prices for traffic will not be symmetrical – renting trucks to a popular point A from an unpopular point B will entail higher costs.
Here are some examples (all data is taken from the U-Haul website; prices are for March 1, 2018, for a favorite 20-foot van.)
Renting a truck from New York to Orlando costs $2,214 and back $1,557 (the difference is $657, a 42% surcharge.)
Renting a truck from New York to Dallas costs $2,442 and back $1,962 (the difference is $480, a 24% surcharge.)
Renting a truck from San Francisco to Orlando costs $3,308 and back $1,988 (the difference is $1,510, an 84% surcharge.)
Renting a truck from San Francisco to Dallas costs $3,206 and back $1,128 (the difference is $2,078, a 184% surcharge.)
For comparison, renting the same truck from New York to San Francisco costs $3,409, and back $3,058 (the difference is $351, a surcharge of 11%).
What causes people to leave San Francisco and New York and to make a move to Dallas and Orlando?

No need to sugar-coat it. /s
Lower Taxes - DOH!
Moved my FIL..a few years ago..from SoCal...to Oklahoma...Paid a premium.
BINGO.
That’s why I was against people telling others that their red state is economically better.
If you kept telling “hey dont move to Texas because they’re all racist rednecks”, it would help prevent your state turning purple...
Connecticut blows!
Of course, young people are more likely to rent a U-Haul than hire a fancy moving company. For all U-Haul knows, wealthy people could be moving into these states.
Causes:
1. High taxes
2. Exotic regulations
3. High home/rental costs
4. Long commutes
5. Bad environment for kids
All well and good! Just don’t bring your liberal politics with you! They’ve already ruined the states you’re leaving!
Better yet, who would move from SF to NYC or from NYC to SF?
What causes a swarm of locus to move to a neighbor’s field?
Can confirm: Orlando is a cesspool. Florida will go blue permanently in the next 10 years.
I’m not a numbers cruncher by nature, so I have to admit, those cost comparisons are confusing.
The text explanation is more helpful in my opinion.
1. Jobs
2. Jobs
3. Jobs
4. Jobs
5. Work
True democracy, people vote with their feet and with their money every day. True, pure democracy.
Euro-locusts arrived in the northeast and on the left coast within the past three generations or so. They work their way inward, bringing un-American laws and policies with them and robbing real Americans out of their homes.
I really grew to hate living in California. FU you racist turds from Mexico.
At those rate you could almost buy an old used truck to make the move and then sell it when you got there. Or just burn it for the insurance.
