Top 10 U.S. States People are Moving To

People essentialise cost of living, but job opportunity is the more decisive factor. It's the same story in Canada. You can buy a house in Saskatchewan for under $150,000 USD ($200,000 CAD) in a small or mid-sized town and then you realise that there are only limited jobs which pay poorly compared to anywhere else in the country.

Nice weather? It's one of the hottest states in the country! I don't know how you manage. I've been in NC for school and I'm dying over here.

There aren't places of natural beauty in NYC sure, but plenty of places in New York state. The Catskills really aren't that far of a drive out of the city, and the Finger Lakes region is beautiful. Once you get beyond city limits, New York is like something entirely new--people are immediately nicer, there's waaay less congestion, housing is cheaper.

Unless it's raining. Which happens a lot.

It is an observation put in a context. It is notable that people are moving from traditionally blue states to traditionally red states.

I don't necessarily think such observations should be deemed too political for discussion. While claims that assert one political party's superiority over another should warrant resetting comments, simply noting trends from the quiz, as here we see that generally people are leaving Democratic-leaning states and moving towards Republican-leaning ones, is a factual observation. It doesn't inherently imply a political bias or permit a debate but rather allows everyone to draw their own conclusions from the data.
