I have family members who left Connecticut a few years ago to resettle in Virginia... apparently thinking they were moving to a Red State.

They haven't been paying attention...

We have considered moving out of CT into a “good state”, but the demographic trends are a big issue—and do not look good in many states with warmer climes.

One advantage CT small towns have is they can veto town spending on infrastructure to stop growth dead in its tracks.

Many southern communities do not have that capability.
