My wife goes to the rec center almost daily to swim. Almost daily she meets blue state transplants, most from California. They are tickled that they sold their million dollar house and bought for much less here. Are amazed that prices are cheaper here. Then they complain they can’t find like minded people. 

They're like parasites. The things they believe in and vote for destroy the place they live, so they move, leaving all the poor people stuck in the quagmire they created. Then they move to greener pastures, and F-up that place the same exact way! 

 

Even in MA it happens. People from Boston moved west into my hometown. Now my dad pays $6,300 a year in property taxes, and they're going up EVERY year exponentially, due to all the idiots in that town voting in every single Proposition 2-1/2 override that comes up for vote. These people think by throwing government and money at problems will make them better, when in fact the 180° opposite is true.

 

Part of me thinks this is all part of the grand plan - these people are being PAID to do this. My small town of 5k people here is starting to vote with the leftists. It's been a Conservative stronghold forever. Somehow some leftist candidates mysteriously got voted into our select board, and here we go, down the path of every other MA town / city.  They think they're creating a utopia, but the only thing they're accomplishing is setting us up for American Revolution 2.0, and this one is going to be ugly.

Some of the nicest cities in the US are in California. Or should I say once were.

A nice city to me has a population of 2500 or less. Then I would still want to live outside of town.

I moved to Conroe Texas over 40 years ago from New Jersey. I bought a house outside of town on an acre. A little while later bought the shop across the street for our business. 12 years later here comes the town. Moved to where I’m am now on 3 acres later added another house for income and later retirement. Now over 20 years later guess what? Major construction and congestion. This place is going crazy. I guess the upside is in a few years I could move into a very exclusive assisted living village. I guess that’s an upside. I don’t think moving way out again would be a good idea. I guess that’s progress.

If I could afford it, I'd be on 300 or more acres with a mile long driveway in the middle of the woods with no neighbors, with my own private airstrip, and ATV trails all around. Around here, that'd be around $200M, just for the land alone ... don't even want to know what the taxes would be on that ... Then I'd have anyone within an earshot crying about the noise from the airstrip.

 

But if I had that kind of money, I'd get the hell out of here so fast the letters would rearrange on the "Now Leaving Massachusetts" sign! Headed somewhere where it doesn't snow, and where the people are FREE.

That’s why we moved here from New Jersey. The problem is the secret is out.
