re: Convince me not to drop everything and move my family to Rogers AR

A great friend of mine moved there last year. This a a true Louisiana man that has lived and worked in LA his entire life.

We talked last month….he said his biggest complaint about moving is not moving to the Rogers area years before now. He loves it.

I just moved to central Missouri. Everything is better here except the food

I live in Fayetteville. It’s very nice and we aren’t going anywhere. Rogers and bentonville blow Fayetteville away right now however

The state of Arkansas is in no threat to fall to the Dems as of now but Arkansas could be sweating since both Benton and Washington Counties will continue to trend Democrat. Those are the two largest counties behind Pulaski County, a Democrat stronghold. If the trend continues then Arkansas will be just in the 50 percentile which is close.

Fayetteville has always been Dem. Bentonville is turning into a Dem town as they have already torn down a Confederate statue on the square. The square had a BLM/Antifa rally that were throwing piss bottles at sheriff deputies which they responded with tear gas. They were not locals but out of state. Rogers is a blue collar town but is slowly turning Dem. The only true blue collar town right now is Springdale but it is inevitable that it will be a Dem city.

I suggest moving to towns outside of these cities as the housing is cheaper and so are the taxes.

Stop
Don’t

If you live in or around Baton Rouge you should move if you have the ability to do so, get our while the market is good
