A lot of those New England numbers are propped up by people moving one state over.

Ex - NH is inundated with Massholes.

They VRBO in that area 2-3 weeks a year right now... Usually 1-2 weeks in the summer, and the week between after Christmas.

They could probably drop $1M on a house in that area.

we are still stuck at either #49 (Thanks Mississippi) or #50 in any positive metric. Boy that really says something about us.
Says something about "us"? What do Louisiana and Mississippi have in common?

Highest percentage of certain minorities in the country.

Some large cities like Atlanta may get them from elsewhere but home is typically somewhere down here for a lot of them.

Minorities in Atlanta generally have education and money and choose to move there.

It's not 6 generations of welfare queens.

NYC people don’t want to leave NYC unless they are commuting from Connecticut or Jersey. And Jersey is considered to be Livingston Parish to New Yorkers.

Upstate people tend to stay there forever.

NYC gets transplants but a ton of them also move to Florida for retirement which is why Florida’s percentage is so low.

Really is a weird thing, after finally getting out it’s crazy how you see it’s even worse than you thought while living there then you see the people still there making excuses like you use to

Name 1 incentive for someone born in another state, barring running from something, that the state offers.


LSU or jobs at any of the universities.

Maybe doesn’t count but Texas kids spending 4-5 years in BR at school.

Does anyone read it like this:

Residents are too ________ (poor, ignorant, hypmo-tized, etc.) to recognize the ________(crime, waste, corruption, despair, etc.), and leave?

La does leave La…people just don’t move there if they aren’t from there.

This is a measure of who lives there now, not who stays.

Yeah 50% of our college grads leave the state. We just don't have much inflow and the state is losing population more years than not.

What's funny is you hear some people talk and talk and talk about how great New Orleans is and it's the most wonderful place on Earth, but they actually live in Mandeville.
