Awesome! Enjoy making the move from a mild winter climate to Idaho right in the freaking middle of winter.

I do wonder if as telecommuting and other factors come into the main stream if the result is people moving to places of leisure rather than relocating for jobs. Nashville has been hammered by people leaving the Midwest. (My wife and I planned to move there after college until she got offered a D1 asst track coaching job in Florida.) Most people I run into (who are relocating) are either going to Eastern TN or the upper mountain west. Once the kids are gone we've even considered finally making the move to Nashville. I've toyed with the mountain west lately since I loved Northern Utah when we went there for our 15th anniversary.

I'm curious, where is the general destination for baws leaving LA and the deep south?

Houston, Dallas, Austin, Nashville and Atlanta.

Just leaving LA is Houston. I’d say 3/4 of the people I went to college with live there now. You wouldn’t believe how many times I have been offered jobs there or been told to embrace the “big wide world outside Louisiana” as an excuse to move there. I swear, Houston is the goddamn worst because it’s basically exactly the same.

Second behind Houston is Dallas, then Atlanta, then Austin, then Nashville, and Tampa after that.

Leaving Louisiana and the south in general is Denver. A crazy number of friends I grew up with all live out that way now. Second to Denver is probably Chicago, then L.A., then New York.
