| I have no friends who are leaving dc because of trump, even the ones who lost their jobs. I don’t plan on leaving either because I have a non-political job I love. But I am a bit surprised that I don’t know anyone who is looking to move in a serious way. I know plenty who are talking about it, but I know they’re not serious. Do you know people who are planning on moving their families? |

| Why would people leave because someone is elected for 4 years? Odd post. |

| I know a couple people retiring a few years early than they might have wanted, and they eventually plan to leave but they planned to leave after retirement anyhow. |

| No, moving is crazy expensive and I'm not going to move unless I have to. |

| No, not at all. |

| To where? No one knows where to go unless you had already planned to move to retire and have a place in mind or a second third home (or country) to go to |

| Yes I do. And I think a lot of people are being dishonest here saying they don't know anyone leaving. |

| I know a few with plans to leave, but it takes a year or two for some to uproot. They are Irish, English and other Euros, also one American. I’d like to go but am stuck as a caretaker for my 90 something mother. I don’t think anyone expects this to end in four years, or even twenty. |

| I have single friends who have lost their jobs and will move back in with parents if they don't find something soon. |

| Yes. I know a few that are leaving the country as well. Some had to move, job loss in a high cost of living area isn’t a great combo. |
