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.....

There's some of that, but it's more about the weather.

It would be interesting to see that graph on a year by year basis. Instead it covers Billy Jeff, W, and Barry. Maybe the data would be too vague to draw any conclusions. It may just be people moving away from high COL areas which incidentally have high taxes.
