Why people are leaving the Northeast in droves

Last year, three states in the Northeast — New Jersey, New York and Connecticut — landed in the top five places people were moving out of fastest, according to 2017 data from United Van Lines. (The other two states on the list were Illinois and Kansas.) And data from Pew Charitable Trusts found that while people are all about moving to the South (their population grew by nearly 1.4 million people from 2014 to 2015) and the West (866,000 more people), the population growth in the Northeast is “sluggish.”
The Northeastern exodus is particularly acute in many big cities like New York City. Since 2010, more than 1 million people have moved from the New York area — which includes parts of New Jersey, Connecticut and Long Island — to other parts of the country.

People are leaving the Northeast because it's full of damn Yankees.

A big part of it. Plus baby boomers retiring.

It's become too expensive to live in New York, and who wouldn't want to escape from New Jersey? And outside of the super rich areas of Connecticut right next to New York, it's a shite hole. I'd be moving too.
And that's coming from someone in the Northeast.

Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia, Texas and the Gulf Coast would be my guess.

It's Libs fleeing because they ruined their states by voting for tax and spend progs and now they're moving to red states so they can keep voting the same way and ruin our states.

I lived in NYC when I was younger and single and this is actually very true about that area. Not to mention high taxes and real estate.

They leave, go to other places in the country, then try to transform them into the shitty places they just left
