@EqualSign I've lived here all my life and Georgia only recently started getting blue areas. The outrageous property taxes and housing costs started long before Georgia started getting anywhere near blue. In fact, what's not being spoken about is the blatant racism and classism. Has nothing to do with political parties but every bit to do with racism and classism. Have you not noticed all cities with high Asian populations are extremely expensive....even in Canada.....look at Toronto and Vancouver. Ask yourself why did the Reagan administration (this started under him btw) allow middle class/wealthy/college educated foreigners to obtain easy visas to come here and fill these advanced jobs vs spend the money on educating its own citizens to do those jobs?

@@israeliana Well, because of that we’re seeing an exodus of people with great wealth leave and their employees leave with them. We’ve had the two recent exodus of Elon musk moving to Texas and Ellison left. The income taxes for those people leave, the wealth taxes never get collected and people who have great jobs who were paying taxes will move to new jobs in other states. So it cost the state a lot of money, also HP is moving to Texas, how many jobs are going to move out of Silicon Valley to Texas and they’re all high-paying jobs. Which means they’re all high paying taxpayers. Fewer wealthy people will want to move to California and we will see a huge net loss of wealthy people and jobs. The California resident who stays here, there’s gonna be less money for the state. When the wealthy person leaves, jobs leave, those are the people that are going to have to pay most of the taxes. A spectacular percentage of income tax paid in California are paid by the upper 1% it’s something like 50% so when they leave tax revenues go down and when tax revenues go down the ability of the state to fund itself declines.

Not true. Housing is a human right. How to buy housing is simply reading and educating oneself. The reason you state this is because typically, brown and black people are not treated equally when it comes to real estate literacy. I am an expert, self taught. Once you learn then you can help a nation execute their dreams and goals and create generational inheritance. Example: one would think Puerto Rican's are poor.

I moved to Phoenix from Chicago a few years back. I love it. Would NEVER go back to Chi-town. With that said, there are some "cultural" differences I picked up right away. In terms of food, Arizona sucks in that area. Even Mexican , Chinese and other Asian foods are not as good as what you'll fine in Chicago. While there are cultural events, the vibe is different. There is not a Chinatown or Little Italy in Arizona. And there is no "black" community in AZ. We are pretty spread out. I don't think that is a bad thing, just something I observed. Where as with Chi-town if you say South Side or West Side, there is an understanding that most of the residents are AA. The crime in AZ seems to be more domestic v. the gang violence you'll find in Chicago. There is a huge issue with human trafficking in AZ. I think AZ leads the nation in that regard. The housing market in AZ has increased ALOT. While still affordable than California, homeownership can be out of reach if you don't plan or don't have the resources. Rents are going up. For example, when I moved here, the base rent for my 1 bedroom apt was $775.

Stacey Abrams has already made it clear that she intends to turn Georgia into California. Red states typically become victims of their own success. That was actually true of California as well. Ronald Reagan was a two-term republican Governor there in the 60s.

[@TheTonyAndreas]

I live in Los Angeles and I don't plan on leaving again! I left in 2008 to go to Michigan and that was a terrible decision. Crime is def bad. I lived in a few great areas like Northville, Farmington Hills. I met some amazing ppl from Detroit and my church was there so I spent a lot of time there. So much poverty. I have also lived in Gilbert AZ (suburb of Phoenix) and that was a beautiful place. Chandler is great as well. Prior to both of those states I lived in Atlanta for 7 years basically straight out of high school. Atlanta also has high crime. I was robbed there one night after leaving a club. Nightlife and dating life was great. There is a high rate of HIV in Atlanta so if you move there, make sure you get your partner to take all STD test. I'm just saying b/c God had kept ME LOL. Anyway, prb needless to say that there is no place like L.A. for many reasons. I work in media/tech so I really could go anywhere but the job market here in L.A. for me is awesome, even with so many companies leaving. We still have Apple, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Amazon, just to name a few. Best of luck to you all! Much Love!!!

Most of the people leaving California are conservatives, not liberals. Also they are poorer than average. Getting priced out. Though, a "conservative" in California is likely a moderate in Ohio.

Interesting phenomenon. I can't say I'm surprised Black folk are leaving though. I've visited the LA/Long Beach area at least 4 times and never felt like it was a space that truly embraced or appreciated Black culture. I always felt "othered" in most parts of the city I visited. I went there for a frat reunion trip a few years back & every where we went, people kept asking if we were a basketball team. (da hell? Yall never seen groups of Black men in public? ) They asked us so much, we decided to just be the Milwaukee Bucks. lol. I also had a hard time finding a Black barbershop there and ended up letting an Asian cut my hair. Let's just say....never again. And on top of the city being overpriced and underwhelming in housing, quality of life, and cost of living...I remember leaving thinking...Well "Black is wack" out there. Who do they remain?" lol. Maybe it's just in pockets? I say come to Charlotte, NC! We will embrace with open arms!

Because the city is majority Black with a rich Black history and culture, it unfortunately gets discriminated against. There is a lot of cool history and culture in Motorcity. Staying downtown and out of the bad parts in the suburbs, using street smarts is key.
