IOW, big blue cities are losing people with jobs and who pay taxes, and are gaining the poorer no-tax-paying or low-tax-paying people, and the people who are wholly dependent on government handouts.
That’s not a growth strategy and not even a survival strategy for the blue cities and states.
On the other side, those wage-earning/tax-paying people leaving the blue cities and states, are making things more expensive for those living tn the red states, with prices for housing rising very fast, which also raises the real-estate taxes for those who were already residents of the red areas. Higher home values are a good thing, if you plan to sell sometime in the near future, but, not if you plan to stay for the long run.

The cities beg for, and get $$ from the gov for wards,of the state. They are trying to get their slice of the pie before funds run totally out.
Our social security is sposedly going broke, but incredibly the gov has all kinds of money for illegals, terrorist nations, etc
“prices of housing”
War on fossil fuel, inflation, big government regulations by EPA, etc. have far more impact on housing price than immigrants.
For example, there is a shortage of construction workers to hang the drywall and roofing, let alone move the dirt for the foundation.
Nobody has yet figured out how to get around the laws of economics.
Yup.🤔
