Raised in northeast burbs. Went to top tier southern school for college. Worked in Atlanta. Best decision of my life. More affordable, better lifestyle for entry level bankers/consultants. Big city with lots to do. Better weather. And when I applied to grad school my application stood out compared to those in the more popular cities. I ended up in the northeast afterwards for family reasons.

That being said, this was 25 years ago. In the current political climate I’m not sure what I would do. Atlanta is a bubble in red Georgia but is still subject to its laws.

Most young people don't consider those cities "fun".

Huh? I live in the south, and you're quite insane. I mean, sure, places like Atlanta aren't safe for women, but that's the gangs, not whatever you're implying.

My friend who is ob-gyn for complicated cases is telling me that about 40% of her patients are from the south because there are less skilled doctors left there to deal with these complicated situations. It will only get worse for women in the south.

So don't get an illegal abortion? And don't assume that's every woman's criteria for safety? Having been mugged in NYC a decade ago, it's certainly not mine.

Reading comprehension isn’t your thing either.

Let’s dumb it down a little for you:
Skilled doctors leaving red states isn’t good for women.

Don't you dare to presume what kind of safety matters most to each woman.

Which women don’t care about having skilled doctors? The kind who think that praying will cure their ovarian cysts?

There are skilled doctors here. Honestly. I would know, since I was just in the ER for an ovarian cyst in November. Had a BCC removed six months before that. Dealt with a fantastic surgeon who set DD's leg a year before that. Etc. You really need to leave your bubble.

You do realize that your personal experiences aren’t universal, right? Maybe the multi-degree PP can explain what “anecdote” means.

Very few recent college grads are looking to buy so…irrelevant.

College grads are in a different phase of life.

They don’t want to. Millenials aren’t leaving en masse to the burbs. GenZ isn’t particularly interested in bringing kids into this world. Many are opting for co-living apartments with friends. LIC is building to capture this demand. They’ve been investing in the market, maxing company retirement with some getting in on equity options. They understand the gift of compounding.

Let the evangelical, brainwashed kids populate the south. Then they can secede. Or move to Mars with Musk. Or work for the billionaires fleeing to their secret bunker in Arizona.

Outside the ones that want to live in a Cracker Barrel, the PP is right. Your casual racism doesn’t fly with Gen Z.

What casual racism? I was mugged by a white guy. You sure like to project!

And high paying jobs and the locals don’t hate women? Hint, not the south.

Taxes provide services, including schools. Which is why the best school systems tend to be in the NE.

And yet people are voting with their feet. States like NY have population decreases and Texas, Florida and NC are growing. You can’t dispute the census data. This link is about applications for jobs and says nothing about where students would prefer to live (no one polled them) or where they ended up accepting jobs.

NYC GenZ is the future. The numbers don’t lie. Thank you MAGAs for moving south to make room for the next Gen of superior education and change makers. None of them are putting up with this administration.

22 yr olds aren't interested in buying a house. They want to have a fun single life. When they get a bit older, think about settling down, then they start looking at cheaper places.

If I'm 22, just graduated from college, I want a good job in a fun city.

+1 DS graduates in May from VT and had two job offers, one in NC and one in DC. DC one paid a little more. He didn't even really consider the NC offer. He wants to be in DC with his friends.

Do they have $500- 600 thousand when they are 30 to buy a house in Scarsdale, Kenilworth, New Canaan, or Bethesda. Most don’t.
