Out here, it's Indians becoming landlords mostly, and then the Chinese. I can't pronounce my landlords last name.
There is entire subdivision of built-to-rent homes smack in the middle of thousands of 450k+ houses. The build to rent are in the 250-300k range, and there are cars up on jacks, etc. The subdivision is less than 10 years old.

You deal w winters you whole life and tell me u don’t want some warm weather
They have some-to-enough means and are portable.
It also takes some guts to move to a different part of the country.
This is a free country.

Private Equity groups have several funds that buy up entire new build subdivisions specifically to make the whole neighborhood rentals. They're also buying up trailer parks, doubling or even tripling lot rent to run the families out, and then sell the emptied properties to real estate developers.
I think this country isn't far from a violent revolt if we continue this pressure in the working class. You've got the investing class that wants to extract maximum revenue even if it means fricking over millions of people, and then from the other side you have revolutionary types that want everyone eating the bug and living in the box, and they see the investing class’s actions as their opportunity. The people in the middle have guns though, and their patience isn’t unlimited.

I mean that’s how Venezuela ended up voting in socialism. They had a bunch of really rich and a bunch of really poor people.
Obviously it didn’t work but that’s how they got there.

My dad and most other folks we know from the 'Scons with the means just become snowbirds, but will change their residency to someplace like Florida for tax benefits. He's gonna head north to WI from Fort Myers this week, and will spend most of the summer on the lake in Wisconsin's Northwoods.
The destination preferences for the people who can live anywhere has shifted IMO in the last decade. The pursuit of a mild summer has supplanted the desire for a mild winter to a certain extent. Most people I know who lived in South Florida have an exit plan or already spend less time there.
We still have a primary residence there, but spend considerably less time there.
Insurances, hurricanes, politics, and increased temps have made Florida less desirable. I know 20+ families who are spending more time in Montana, Idaho, Maine, and Colorado.

I feel like people from Louisiana view moving to another state like it requires them to split the atom. It's not hard.

There are thousands of cities and towns in this country where there's plenty of housing available at very reasonable prices. Many people, though, believe that they have a "right" to live wherever they want for whatever price they want to pay. It does not and never has worked that way. These are the same morons that will elect people like Mamdani whose policies sound good at face value but just make existing problems worse while creating new ones in the process.

What about the Mets?

Many of them have bought houses and moved to Nola. They price out the locals.
And needless to say they are all far left politically. You see the Ukraine and progress flags, the Biden Harris bumper stickers. I live among these people. They are my neighbors.

not far from the truth.
anecdotally they are building DSLD subdivisions around me as fast as they can cut the trees down. It’s been a pretty rural area for the twenty years I’ve been here, but traffic on my little highway access has gone way up. I don’t know if the buyers are Yankees or just stupid but they struggle with rural intersections and small town grocery stores. DSLD’ers stick out like a sore thumb around here

What I said was people are now showing a preference for a mild summer over a mild winter. Part of this is the perception that winters are becoming less harsh while summer are getting hotter. People are migrating to traditionally colder places.

Might help to know where you live.
People have these things called jobs. Usually that’s why they move to a place and buy a home.
I’m sure they aren’t blindly just moving to random places in the south.
