Florida and Texas are gaining population at the expense of blue states. That fact is no accident and it is a fact that village idiots cannot refute.

Quooter didn't say FL and Texas wasn't gaining population need to get the Sh!t out of your in this case eyes. All i said was Florida property taxes are pretty high they have the same upkeep as most other states have.

People are fleeing blue states for jobs and a lower cost of living. You are wasting your time denying that fact. Raising taxes in blue states, which is typically Democrats' response to declining tax revenues, will only accelerate the decline of their populations.

Quooter i believe in Florida's case it's the weather more than anything that was my reason. I think that's why a lot of old people went their for the winter.

California has a great climate and great beaches and it is not gaining population at the expense of red states and it is certainly not a popular retireme nt destination. Do you have a theory to explain why a large blue state like Californian is losing so many people to states like Texas, Idaho, Utah, and Montana?

Quooter jobs could be a big factor I told you my reason
California lost 182.083 in 2020 first time losing people since 1900 in 2019 they had 39,510,000 so it's not as bad as you and the other right wing nuts think it is. But on the brighter side of things maybe enough will leave and turn Texas Blue. California makes up about 14.8% of the US economy that's a pretty big chunk NY adds 7.6% Texas 9.2 Florida 5.1, 7 states make up 47.7% of the economy. So basically they are not leaving like you think and the other 43 states are just going along for the ride especially the RED states. 14 of the Red States make up to less than 1% each you could call them welfare states.
