[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know many younger professionals who live in Southern Florida and hate it. [/quote]
young people move to FL and TX because it's cheap, not because of politics.  I think some conservatives who tout how so many are moving to TX/FL don't understand the reason why people are moving there.. it's not because of their politics, but in spite of their politics.

These young people are just starting out, and if they are making $100K, they are being taxed a lot, so they escape to tax havens like TX and FL. Yes, I know TX has high property taxes, but young people aren't buying expensive homes.[/quote]

Tax haven is because of the politics.  Lower cost of living is because of the politics.  These younger professionals, if they come in and vote for Democrats, will then turn those places into very expensive places to live with high taxes.[/quote]
I think you do not understand how this works.  It's purely the law of supply and demand.

The lower cost of living is that way because there is no demand. Historically, even with low taxes, the educated did not flock to TX or FL. They went to places like CA, IL, NY, which then became a victim of their own success with high cost of living.  People who cannot afford the hcol move out to a lcol area, and if they move out in droves, then the housing cost and general col goes up there, too. That happened in cities in ID, OR and NV.

Austin is seeing this, too.  Their property values and property taxes are sky high. It has driven out long time residents out of the area.

Other cities in TX  will experience the same thing that CA, IL, NY experienced.

However, FL with its anti-education policies may end up driving the educated away.[/quote]

You leave out the supply part of the equation.  It is easier to get more housing in Atlanta, Dallas, Orlando, while enivronmentalists insist on no development, and all you get is housing for rich people that developers are able to bribe the right people.[/quote]
those areas were largely under developed, but now they have huge sprawl.  Most of the liveable parts of CA have been developed already.  The Bay Area does not have a lot of room for more development.  SoCal is completely over developed. I lived in both Socal and Bay Area for 40 years. There is no more room to develop.

I now live in a suburb of the DC area, and there is still room for development outside the beltway. I have been seeing so many new builds in the past 10 years around here.  Can't do that in Ca.

It is very much a matter of supply and demand.  That is why Austin home prices skyrocketed. Huge demand there now.  Be careful what you wish for.[/quote]
