No one ever seems to move to Illinois, New York State or Minnesota.
My sister had listed Ill as one of the spots that they were looking at when my BiL retired from service.
Since the spot they were looking at was closer to the rest of the family here in MO.
I told her she didn't want to do that, high crime, and high anti-2a.
She answered back "Ohhh no no no. We like our guns. frick that.".

A lot of truth to this and it will effect the supply and demand curve in regards to prices in the next five to ten years

I know the state politics in California suck... but they did in Louisiana too. I've lived in California a total of 11 years in two different stints in my life. I'm one of the rare conservatives who would gladly move back to coastal Southern California (Orange County or San Diego County) tomorrow if I could.
The weather is friggin' perfect. You don't realize how perfect until you leave. Very conducive to being outdoors and actually enjoying the outdoors. You have the ocean, the mountains, the desert. All sorts of awesome places within short driving distances. Amazing food, always something going on and fun things to do every weekend. In OC and coastal San Diego County, there's very low crime, low numbers of cultcha, low homelessness... It's paradise. I plan on moving back as soon as I can. I only left this last time for work.

So with all the political world talking about the affordability crisis in housing are we bitching about house prices falling? WTF?
Also headlines are sensationalist. "1 in 4" homes for sale in the country are in a region that has 17% of the nations homes. That aint far from 1 in 4. Also it is not far from 1 in 4 people in the US live in TX and FL...
Exactly.

In terms of total numbers lost since 2020, California, New York, and Illinois have seen the largest cumulative drop in residents.
It's funny to think about how bad the outflow of residents would look if illegals weren't counted in the census.

Why Are People Leaving?
Annual surveys and demographic reports from groups like the Illinois Policy Institute highlight a few primary drivers behind the exit:
High Tax Burdens: Roughly 95% of outbound residents move to states with lower overall state, local, or property tax rates.
Cost of Living: Better housing affordability in neighboring states like Indiana and Wisconsin.
Job Opportunities: Relocating for stronger business climates and employment markets.
(Note: While Illinois has lost a significant chunk of its domestic U.S. population, the state's overall population decline has recently flattened out due to a substantial concurrent influx of international immigrants).

why?
Posted on 8/24/26 at 2:16 pm to BTROleMisser
California is only perfect if you can afford it. Not everyone has $1,000,000 in cash to buy a 1500 sq ft starter home.
It’s not a state for the average working family.

Texas is probably due to deportations
Not sure on Florida

Not sure if this skew the numbers, but Texas and Florida also have a high number of SFR owned by investment firms. I imagine that a large number of the listing are by these investment firms.
1. They are getting ahead of the mandate to liquidate SFR.
2. They are at the 4-5 year.period that investment firms want to recoup their initial investments.
3. The maintenance expenses in those once new construction homes is rising and taking profits from rental income. Rental homes have high wear and tear.

Also I don't think a lot of people who moved to TX and/or Florida like either

FL's net DOMESTIC net migration in 2025 was 23k.
Down 93% from 2022
Your post is BULLSHITE
If you include INTERNATIONAL? It is higher but we don't want immigrants, do we? We want red blooded Americans.
23k net DOMESTIC migration. Try again.

I would like to think that it is a lot of Visa holders in the IT industry that are leaving to go back to India.. but that is just wishful thinking...

Was thinking the other day how many of these people from up north are regretting moving here after experiencing the Florida summer heat and humidity.

Anything to do with deportations? Gotta imagine it’s had a slight affect.
