Those cities are blue though. People (who aren't migrants) have been fleeing NY and CA in droves.
Their populations dipped during the pandemic. But for Cali and NY both have started to tic in other directions starting in 2024.

not surprising. keep seeing these real estate vids where people show off where they live. the vids from atlanta and houston routinely showing off basic ass new build apartments that the developers slapped "luxury" on and got these fools paying $6000-$8000/month. a travesty.

Houston def not low cost of living anymore. Plus high property taxes. Plus fake image culture is huge. Everybody think they a celebrity maxing out their cc going on expensive vacations etc. :mjlol:

Everyone down in those cities try to get their Birdman on, only to live like Ray Benzino.

I'd have to see more of the methodology but 2 thoughts

1) The local employment markets/economy aren't as strong as the others on the list
2) The Sun Belt States are a leading indicator of things to come.

Less restrictions....Cheap Houses...low taxes....less social services - like education, infrastructure maintenance, etc...

Thats why u have to laugh at all these nikkas online talking about move to Houston, move to Atlanta, we eating good out here, we got this we got that..

Since nikkas are allergic to words ending in TY, which is reality, accountability and responsibility

Burning cash on unnecessary shyt when the main priorities rent, mortgage, car loan, car repairs, utilities are crazy high and expensive

Landlords know motherfukkers are eager to live in these places and they boost the rent and I don’t blame them

nikkas pulling in 2,3k a month but your rent $1500 on the low end and u still have utilities, car note, clothes, food, etc etc and u lucky to have $100 in your pocket or even worse you in the red

Yep.

Its RAP VIDEOS that brainwashed many black transplants SMH. Cats watched "Playerz Club" in 98, and flocked to ATL in droves, thinking that every breh that is hetero and having more than $30 in their pocket will get their own McMansion and 2 bisexual redbone strippers to themselves :mjlol:
