In the map below from U-Haul last week, California again finished dead last in the Migration Trends Report (https://www.uhaul.com/Articles/About/U-Haul-Growth-States-Of-2024-South-Carolina-Tops-List-for-First-Time-33083/) According to rental statistics from U-Haul, the states in blue saw net outflows in migration. The states in orange saw net inflows. Notice anything? And what’s going on in Indiana all of a sudden?

South Carolina (watch out Charlie!) dethroned Texas, which had held the top spot for the last three years (Texas migrants are probably coming to grips with the reality of rising property taxes on falling property prices). In order, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, Washington, Indiana, Utah, and Idaho rounded out the top ten.

Every time I hear someone talking nimby bullshut I tell them I'd rather live in a place that's growing over a place that's shrinking.

So where do you live?

North Carolina

And I’m in Ca. It’s tough out here. I’m way up north where we have more cows than people though.

Mid sized city suburbs in the South are booming. I read 50 people a day move to my city. They are throwing up apartments and condo buildings left and right.

I feel for you. My government is incompetent but no state compares to California's incompetence.
