  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere.

Just leave your politics back in California.

I see that in Oregon as well, moving here because they destroyed California with their politics. My concern is they will move like locusts consuming all the resources and leaving a wasteland behind like they did in California. I can already see where they are starting to do that in Oregon.

Thx for linking to the study. I couldn't read the Fox News link...something about a paid article.

In any case, if it's true that Gen Z is heading to the red state of Texas by fleeing blue states like California for better living...then what does it mean that the top 5 states being left by Gen Z are Mississippi, Alabama, and Iowa, all of which are red states? Are they fleeing bad Republican policies for marginally better ones?

Or can we just admit that thinking of people moving to particular areas within large states is reductive and we're basically not arguing about anything at all? Because though Gen Z may be moving to Texas, they may (I don't know for sure since it's not in the study) be moving to more liberal areas of the state. In which, to say they're leaving California for "better living" is true...but it's not true in the political sense, merely in the economic.
