re: Brace yo'selfs fo de comin' yankification.

I'm one of the Yankees that moved south. I came from NYC. Taxes and state / local government not spending on the right things were a major reason.

I think the majority of people that have moved, like me, are dissatisfied with state / local government in terms of taxation and government mismanagement. Probably not representative politically of the regions we came from.

I can understand some areas, like Austin, however I see it more the other way of those areas turning the people towards more conservative. Once you start seeing your paycheck increase as a % of gross income and the services remain in the same ballpark.

At the end of the day, people are moving due to fiscal conservative policies.....
