Anecdotally, so many people moved from New York to Florida during Covid. The Internet tells me over 100,000. Whenever people I knew would tell me my first question was a bewildered… but why?
It’s not a new thing exactly, I went to school with kids from NY and Michigan and NJ. What’s new is the ideological idiocy. I’m sure you are glad to be rid of them, but they weren’t doing as much damage up north. It’s like gerrymandering the nation.
Some of it was understandable. A Cuban-American wanted to live closer to family, for example. Others just wanted “better weather,” to which I say, there are better places to live in the summer than a swamp controlled by insane people.
I am from here, grew up without air conditioning, in fact even the school didn’t have it until 7th grade. The weather suits me fine, and there’s plenty good about it locally.
Honestly I can pinpoint the hour it went wrong, when Al Gore conceded, though he won. Barely. I always wish I’d landed in the other timeline.
