Why Are People 'FLEEING' Blue States? - VisualPolitik EN

On November 5th, the presidential elections will be held in the U.S. The electoral campaign, as expected, is moving at full speed.

But among industrial policy, tariffs on China, and support for Ukraine, there is one issue that is gaining more and more weight in the political debate: the massive loss of residents in some Democratic strongholds like California and New York. In this video, we tell you all the details.

You might be misaing the fact that yes you can steal up to $2000 without it being a felony, but the person you are stealing from can rightfully shoot you. So the cost of the same act in texas is vastly different than in california

Visual Politik: “Why does San Francisco… the California capital…”

Sacramento: am I a joke to you?

[Bobgo]

The answer is literally one sentence:
Housing is too expensive due too political capture by local real estate groups and NIMBY types

[CJ-grwz]

Don’t forget huge numbers of religious christians have left because they are sick of the LGBT extremism and the closing of churches during the pandemic. They have left for red states with more like minded people.

Personally, this is why I leftt the bay area for a rural Virginia home: I can build my own home with my own timber, without neighbors that report me to the county for depreciating their property value. and find better work here. Basically, I don't value vineyards, restaurants, billionaires, and the golden gate bridge so I don't need to compete with others who do.

Cost of living, blue states have higher housing costs.

“Louisiana, Arkansas, these are red states with high crime rates.”

And where is the crime located at in these localities? Blue areas with lots of ethnic minorities.

[phalanxsd]

He brought up red states with high crime rates but left out that these states are dominated by one huge blue city. Example such as New Orleans in Louisiana.

[amayzus]

Even in red states that you mentioned have high crime rates, those crime rates come from cities that are very blue. For example: New Orleans, St. Louis, Birmingham, Memphis, etc… and we all know what the common denominator between all those cities are even if people refuse to admit/say it.

There's no crime stats if they let them go...

[patrickgallagher]

I wish more of the Californians moving to red states would appreciate the culture that attracted them to their new home and acclimate to it. Otherwise, they're moving their problems with them and turning their new homes into the mess they moved away from. I saw this in my home state.

[immortalsofar]

I hated California. It felt like there was a committee somewhere saying "Do we have a law about this? No? Okay, shall we make it illegal or compulsory?" Now I'm back in the UK, even this place is too much and I'm looking to get a farm somewhere in Eastern Europe. Ironic for someone who grew up in the '80s to look to the former Eastern Bloc in search of freedom.

All of that exodus isn't just to red states but blue states too. There are a lot of NY workers that are moving across the Hudson to Jersey city, Newark or Bayonne because rent is cheaper.

[JustAnNPC]

Because they don’t want to suffer the consequences of their actions

[hightierplayers]

Weird how you think you debunked the crime cause using stats, but couldn't tell the most obvious problem with using that data.

Police and enforcers in these "soft-on-crime" states don't even bother arresting or acting on smaller crime anymore so no reports are made. The vast majority of smaller crime is now going completely unreported.

Red state enforcers on the other hand, do something once the line is crossed which is why even with Texas's higher $2500 petty crime limit, if you cross that, you are actually going to face consequences instead of being arrested and out without cost less than 24 hours later.

[TheeRomantic]

They leave blue states to just turn red states blue 😂 AZ, GA and soon TX

[phoneluke]

You’re clearly missing a lot of details which would lead to a different conclusion. Cali doesn’t enforce their limit, Texas does.

[carlosluaces]

If everything is so great and that all reasons given are lies, than why are they leaving? It's the bureaucracy that forces people to leave. Because it take ten years to approve a building and then have the project cancelled because the shadow it casts interfere with a playground.

[caty]

"they are so soft on crime that people have stopped talking about it."
That's an interesting way to look at this discrepancy.

[NYmomAdrienne]

As a NYer, this is why I have considered it:
-my property taxes in Nassau County, Long Island, NY are absolutely insane and it’s going towards ridiculous projects
-Manhattan’s DA has lowered the crime rate by not prosecuting crimes. He likes criminals rather than law abiding tax payers
-remote work means I don’t have to stay here
**And the kicker: our governor has declared that dismemberment is not a violent crime worthy of bail..that is ridiculous and insanity
After my kid is done with high school, if nothing changes, I will be leaving
