Free Republic

“People are fleeing the city in droves,” says Moon Salahie, owner of Elite Moving & Storing in Yonkers, who has been working nonstop since the city began Phase 1 of its reopening in June.

I need help from the Freeper family for cross country travel advice during the Covid re-opening, to drive from California to the southeast and scout out locations for a new place to live. I am asking Freepers for information regarding travel restrictions and accomodations in various states, at and to my destinations. - Questions 1. Are hotels open for business in Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and Tennesee? 2. Are masks and face coverings mandatory in Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee? 3. Are apartment managers allowing visitors to physically see units in their apartment complexes, or is everything still...

I'm considering moving to Idaho from the Puget sound reagon. Any suggestion for a small country Chritian town where liberals, democrats, communist will be non existant. I'll be bringing my retirement money, gear two vichels and my dog. My wife will be coming later on next year once I find a smaller apartment. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks

Interstate Long Distance move coming up (june) Any input on estimates, binding non-binding contracts etc. If you have done it you know what input I am looking for and tips to avoid getting screwed over by Guido from Hoboken or his closely related relative

RUSH: Look at this. Let’s see. Da-da-da-da. More than 41% of New Yorkers say they can’t afford to live in the city and they plan to leave, and then there is an accompanying list of the fastest shrinking cities in the country. And you know what’s happening here. A bunch of people are fleeing cities that they have participated in creating, the political circumstances. They’ve voted for a bunch of libs, raised taxes and choked off economic growth. They’ve raised real estate prices. And now they say they gotta leave, and they leave, and they go to other states —...

Since California now has a super majority in the Assembly/Senate and can and will legislate any tax or thing their little Socialist hearts desire, we are now committed to leaving. We will be part of the exodus from the Socialist Republic of California. It's going to be a historical migration within our Nation, if not already. Since we are both Conservatives, we won't be bringing any of the Liberal/Socialist ideals with us and would make good neighbors.

We're a couple months away (fingers crossed) from selling our house and moving from California to Texas. What we're trying to determine is the best way to move our three indoor-only cats. It should be noted that a 10 minute drive to the vet is a challenge. Not sure how we're going to handle a 1,700+ mile move.

I was born and raised in Southern Nevada. I remember it to be a free place, but the area is "Sin City." Since moving from there, I've become a Christ follower. But now I'm in the Godless, anti-gun, anti-Liberty, illegal-alien-loving slave state of California. I've been hatching a plot to escape: Wifey, son and I move to Southern Nevada and get our main place. (Wifey doesn't want the cold or super rural-ness of the north east.) Then we buy a mountain cabin in Northern Nevada where my son and I can travel to often to live as free men to...

Unemployment is down, wages are up and to many Americans, the financial crisis may feel like a memory. But for those in rural America and regions tied to industries on the decline, joblessness remains a huge problem. Hillary Clinton says there is one possible solution to joblessness — but it's a tough pill to swallow. In "What Happened," Clinton writes that the possible solution is one few people want to discuss. "As hard as it is," she writes, "people may have to leave their hometowns and look for work elsewhere in America." While she advocates for local governments, employers and...

Long-time freeper relocating from 110% Dem. voting district (you know what I mean) in Brooklyn to a Tucson development with one of the largest (if not the largest) Republican clubs in America (learned about it on FR about a decade ago!). So sick of running into people who insult Trump continuously, just assuming I'm of like mind because I don't wear a swastika or other Nazi paraphernalia. Was inspired by recent thread started by freeper moving to Phoenix. BTW, I know it's hot!

Winter is coming for the North. Last year, three states in the Northeast — New Jersey, New York and Connecticut — landed in the top five places people were moving out of fastest, according to 2017 data from United Van Lines. (The other two states on the list were Illinois and Kansas.) And data from Pew Charitable Trusts found that while people are all about moving to the South (their population grew by nearly 1.4 million people from 2014 to 2015) and the West (866,000 more people), the population growth in the Northeast is “sluggish.”

BOSTON—Two hundred stuffed animals, two violins, and a 7-1/2 foot-tall Christmas tree: That was just a corner of the possessions Rosalie and Bill Kelleher accumulated over their 47-year marriage. And, they realized, it was about 199 stuffed animals more than their two grown children wanted. Going from a four-bedroom house in New Bedford, Mass. – with an attic stuffed full of paper stacked four-feet tall – to a 1,300-square-foot apartment took six years of winnowing, sorting, shredding, and shlepping stuff to donation centers. Among the possessions the Kellehers are keeping are three hutches – one that belonged to his mother,...

What else can possibly go wrong with our great country, the former “shining city on the hill,” that is being tarnished day by day by influential anti-American groups with huge coffers? Liberals from California and smaller blue states are exerting their influence on the electoral process in red states, determined to flip them to blue, and, by and large, are succeeding with the exception of the most recent election in Georgia’s 6th district where Democrats spent over $23 million, the most in the history of the House of Representative elections ever. I’m still scratching my head trying to understand the...

Y’all bought the white house Rumors of my death are exaggerated. The reason my wife Mary and I dropped off the face of the earth is because we have not had internet for almost a week, which as y’all know feels like an eternity. We drove up from Florida to close on our new home in a tiny West Virginia town, population 500. Why? To move close to our parents and family. The drive up from Florida was quite interesting. The number of Trump signs on display in yards, rooftops and billboards tells me Trump has connected with every day...

Relocating for work to Texas from southern NH - looking for FReeper advice/input - been lurking out here for 19 or so years - best community to ask a question of. I know there'll be some snark, but anyway..

A survey from a national moving company shows that almost as many people moved to Michigan as moved out during the past year. The annual United Van Lines survey places the Great Lake State in the “balanced” category, with outbound moves mostly offset by inbound moves from elsewhere, though the state is still experiencing a modest level of net outbound migration. People relocating to other states accounted for 52 percent of UVL’s Michigan-related interstate moves. That’s not great, but it’s a long way from 2009 when outbound moves accounted for 68 percent of business the company did in the state....

A moving truck was seen on Wednesday parked outside the White House, where President Obama will live and work for just two more weeks. The truck was parked on West Executive Avenue, a street inside the White House gates and situated in-between the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and the West Wing.

So maybe we’ll lose Cher, Lena Dunham and Whoopi Goldberg—but many beloved athletes, tech entrepreneurs, actors and entertainers will stay in America if Trump becomes our next president. “If ROMNEY gets elected I don’t know if i can breathe same air as Him,” Cher tweeted (grammar errors hers) in the 2012 election cycle. This time around, Cher tweeted that if Trump is elected: “I’m moving to Jupiter.” Dunham and Goldberg issued similar threats. “Extinction of White Men” is the title of a new video Dunham posted on Twitter. The video is artistically barren and overtly sexist. If Dunham represents...
