Razors Edge ★ Posted January 5 Share #2 Posted January 5 As we move back to some folks working in offices again, it will be interesting to see how things rearrange. I know folks in my office alone chose to head to less expensive areas than their regular areas during our coming-up-on three years WFH. When you work in an office, many folks choose to pay more to be able to easily get to the office, but that has much less value when the office is virtual. The other big swing that is coming is the pay cuts for remote workers. No more San Fran pay for folks living in low cost and distant areas. It's a simple way for businesses to fix their payroll "problems" without impacting negatively their bottom lines. Likely a short term boost of the bottom line.

JerrySTL ★ Posted January 5 Share #3 Posted January 5 Illinois is losing taxpayers. Actually most of the states losing population are those with higher taxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted January 5 Share #4 Posted January 5 CA’s population drop has been reported on. People are leaving for less expensive states, TX & TN seem to be popular landing spots. I knew we are the most populous state but didn’t think we were nearly 10 M people more than the next largest state!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the loss is retirees who earned the typical $20K/year more per household in the Blue States, which leads to higher costs of living, then retired to Red States for their lower cost of living, selling their $300K-$400K house and buying a better one for $200K. I have friends and relatives who did that as well as a younger couple of lower-middle class income whose son played baseball with my nephew Ryan, who couldn't afford to buy a house in the Baltimore Area but could for much less in Tennessee. We're seeing states like Virginia and Texas getting Bluer and Bluer in large part because of those movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted January 5 Share #14 Posted January 5 I would imagine Florida gets a lot of the immigrants from south of the border. Also, having no state income tax is a big attraction for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, having no state income tax is a big attraction for some. Florida actually doesn't get too many from the "near" south of the border (like Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, etc). They get a lot of the poorer folks from various failing islands like Cuba or Haiti, and also seem to get the South America refugees that don't go the land route up through Central American and Mexico - so Colombians or Venezuelans and the like.

Well, people that cross the border don't just remain in those border states. Even here in SE VA, I've noticed what seems like a lot more people in stores and such speaking Spanish lately. I would think that the immigrants are aware of the large Hispanic community in Florida and might be drawn there for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
