So many issues with attacking the governor this way.
This is the data for 1 year in his 4 year term. What did it look like the other years? Well, we can see that for 2022-23 the rate of decrease slowed down, from 0.8% to 0.3%. This makes sense because rent-vs-buy ratios have changed wildly in big cities in the last couple years.
This is a similar rate of decline for other high cost of living states (CA, NY, HI) without having the benefit of CA and HI weather and beauty.
It's the same rate of decline per capita as Louisiana (Republican governor) and West Virginia (Republican governor).
It leaves out who is leaving and why. Is it MAGAs upset that they can't be racist asshats as freely? Is it low income people who can't afford to live there due to the high taxes? Is it because his leadership drove jobs out of state? Is it because the state protected abortion rights, and religious people wanted to move to FL instead?
Everyone I know who left moved back unless they got a nice job in the new local and in those cases they generally moved because of the job. Everyone I know who thought they would find greener pastures did not. They found many places had all sorts of other weird tax structures but with less job opportunities and worse public amenities. The only reason I know of many is because im fairly old so have a few decades of seeing folks make mistakes. Oh one last group are those who left for warmer or drier weather and they are usually happy.
