A new study found that Gen Z is moving more than past generations and searching for lower cost living in states like Texas, West Virginia, Utah and Colorado.
Just leave your politics back in California.
I see that in Oregon as well, moving here because they destroyed California with their politics. My concern is they will move like locusts consuming all the resources and leaving a wasteland behind like they did in California. I can already see where they are starting to do that in Oregon.
The only good news source to such folks is that which parrots their ideology.
Anything else is "far right" or "biased".
More importantly, whatever right-leaning bias Fox used to have was clearly dropped during the 2020 election.
For our friend who didn't even bother to read the article and finding the link to the study before being dismissive:
The study found that Gen Z, which comprises adults between the ages of 18 and 26, is the most mobile generation, with 17% of its members opting to move this year, compared to 8% across all ages.
Texas welcomed the most Gen Z adults overall, with 345,000 new residents. However, West Virginia saw the highest net gain in Gen Z moves, up 138% year over year.
I see that in Oregon as well, moving here because they destroyed California with their politics. My concern is they will move like locusts consuming all the resources and leaving a wasteland behind like they did in California. I can already see where they are starting to do that in Oregon.
This is emotionally loaded, misleading, and just silly.
And anybody could just as easily claim Texas has been destroyed by their politics. It's just a meaningless statement.
It seems clear that most young people can't afford to live in California anymore. This is simply due to a lack of housing. Even as the economy grew, housing didn't keep pace because of single family zoning (thanks to pro-auto lobbying) and nimbyism.
No doubt, California sucks now. When I was a kid, there were miles and miles of orchards and farms. They chopped down all the cherry trees, all the orchards, to build the industrial parks of silicon valley. All the fish disappeared from the creeks and streams. I guess old people always complain about how things have changed.
Well I think this situation may have come about due to years of the systematic erosion of workers rights and devaluation of labor. People are sttill waiting for that trickle down.
The issue is it is very tax advantageous to own property. One way to help fix the problem is to charge a rental fee or disallow tax writeoffs for rental properties. Right now people jump on rentals because the ROI is solid. Reduce the ROI and people won't look to rentals.
Young voters overwhelmingly say they would support President Biden over former President Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up if the 2024 presidential election were held today, according to a poll released Wednesday.
In the Economist/YouGov poll — conducted via web-based interviews Dec. 16-18 — more than half (53 percent) of registered voters under 30 said they would support Biden, and less than a quarter (24 percent) said they would support Trump.
Another 10 percent said they would support another candidate, 4 percent said they were not sure, and 9 percent said they wouldn’t vote.
The younger generations are voting more and more. And they are seeing through the bullshit.
