Until they realize how shitty those states are and want to but, can’t move back.
I think Arizona isn’t the worst in terms of weather, but a lot of people are getting fucked by the cost of living in Cali. Arizona makes sense for the sound of mind.
Cost of living is ridiculous in CA, but in FL it’s almost impossible to get home insurance for hurricane-related damage because so many companies are going under. They can’t afford it. So it’s cheap until your home is under water.
And I get that natural disasters happen everywhere, even more-so now, but it’s not uncommon for FL to get hit with 2-3 major storms a year.
I’ve lived in Texas for awhile (not my first choice but here we are), and 4 of my most recent neighbors in my neighborhood are from CA. And ALL super conservative, one has the bumper stickers and has been flying the US flag on his house upside down. I’m not joking….it’s not the liberals who are moving here, lol cries I wish!
Native Texans voted for native Texan Beto O’Rourke, transplants went for Ted Cruz, exit poll shows
I hope FL gets a better deal with its CA transplants, and I hope the folks who are leaving due to financial hardships do okay.
I’d never move to FL purely on the basis of wtf is even going on there, also the weather. My parents moved to TX because, idk maga I guess, and then immediately called and complained their neighbor was a surly gun-toting type. Like? Yeah no shit. Also the weather in Texas is absolutely wild?!
So many other states to choose from lol.
For CA that does seem to be the case. The people I know that have decided to head to Texas (from here in Washington) are still pretty liberal and ended up moving to Austin. We’ve also gotten a ton of people from all areas of Texas who are sick of how far right the government is there and decide to move to one of the more expensive regions in the country to get away from it.
I mean if your options are only TX, FL, and AZ, I think AZ is probably the better bet for destinations at this point. Southern AZ is short on water but I think northern AZ is in better shape. Wouldn’t want to live under DeSantis and TX is pretty nutty in general.
Also you could always live in one of the cities along the Colorado such as Havasu.
Hahaha no you definitely don’t want to live there. Born and raised in AZ. You want to stay near the main population centers unless you’re deeply DEEPLY conservative. Visiting is great but I would not want to live there. Could be worse in somewhere like Kingman, but still.
I get what youre saying, but those regions will never improve without new blood. I ya can deal with the shit and aint in a vulnerable group id encourage it to a degree. Not every redneck is a frothing bigot and if even half of them are like my area most folks just kinda want to be left alone and will probably lynch the christo-fascists if they push their luck. Mind ya im in a particularly redneck part of southern California so somewhat different but the rule of thumb probably still stands.
They aren’t sending their best
In reading the average IQ of both places.
Edit: that should be “increasing”
Cooked in an oven or dying of tropical diseases and bacteria to own the libs.
What a choice to be made lmao.
Texas is a shithole.
They’re going to florida instead though
Better than texas.
As opposed to Florida?
Florida shits on texas. They have nice beaches, cities, disney world, etc.
Only people who don’t agree are texans who have lived there their entire lives.

Pick your poison.
-
Liberal states like California, with hella regulations, taxes, etc. More expensive.
-
Conservative states like Mississippi, with none of the above. Cheap cost of living.
I’m starting to think America is just too big to play together nicely. And the way our politics are playing out, a sane middle ground seems unlikely.
Maybe we’ll smear ourselves all over the land, which would force some common ground, more homogenous, dunno. I hope to have 30 more years on this planet, probably less. You kids, and mine, are straight fucked.
Do your best. I’m trying too, and I’m rooting for you.
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies - "God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
that’s some enlightened centrist nonsense if you think California needs a middle ground with Florida
Cost of living is the subject here. Think California is a paradise? Never been there, but it sounds damned fine. But don’t come back bitching about the cost of living.
Conservative states like Mississippi, with none of the above. Cheap cost of living.
But also things like no women’s body right, no lgbtq rights, rampant religion shoved down your throat, rampant bigotry, the war on trans leaning kids, etc…
What a wonderfully disingenuous post, thank you.
