You make sense with California
My favorite hobby is traveling. My second favorite hobby is deleting racist, homophonic, and all caps comments.

I'm having difficulty imagining people moving out of Hawaii using a U-Haul.
they must own a U-haul fleet.
😵💫
Right.
Maybe make a yacht out of it
And traveling on the Interstate lol
The weather is NOT why people leave Oregon, it’s the crime and cost of living, AND the houses are insanely expensive here…
All those other reasons you mentioned are good reasons to move out of Oregon too. And those are the reasons I’d move out if I had the money. But the ongoing rain is also my reason I’d move out & also other reasons you left out! They are selfish, careless, clueless & dishonest & they outlaw stuff that is important to have & make into law to do stuff that is wrong. So good people out there that love the State of Oregon too much are making a very bad mistake of it. Because as much as many love it! They aren’t loving them back. Because they only love themselves. Not others!
@@k7j6 I’m looking into Iowa, I just want a nice place to work on my cars, listen to my music and finally own my own house in peace and relative quiet. The cost of living is significantly cheaper there despite the sales tax, the medical is better ( if you’re close to the hospital)
It’s a swing state so chances are better that our opinions are heard, safer, lower violent crime.
Down side is the land is relatively flat compared to Oregon, the weather is sometimes violent and it’s very expensive to move.
@@Blackinterceptor999 thanks! But no thanks! I’d rather live somewhere where there is way less rain. I hope to live in Colorado. And I know there has been their share of crime there too! As do I understand it has been expensive as well! But! Pricy or Not Pricy! Crime or No Crime! I’d live there before I lived anywhere that had ongoing rain. And while California might be a tad worse! Doesn’t matter to me! Because just like Colorado! Southern California still gets way less rain. So as expensive as it may be there! I’d gladly even live there before anywhere where there is ongoing rain like there is in Oregon. But I do appreciate you letting me know anyway! I could maybe visit Iowa in the future if I have to! But depends on what they have there for Tourism & Tourist Attractions that would be worth me seeing!
@@k7j6 I did the opposite move. CO native who moved to eastern OR. The Front Range of CO is basically California East (or Calirado, if you prefer). Prices are insane there, relative to wages. Full of Californians. Not sure where you're planning on moving to in CO, but keep that in mind.
@@TheyRiseBand I appreciate you taking the time to let me know! But I’ll happily take the insane prices & live there over living somewhere that has way too much rain! Aside that! At least Colorado doesn’t outlaw too much stuff that is important like Oregon does! And at least they don’t make into law to do stuff that is wrong either! As much as I don’t like high prices either! I’d gladly take them & live there just to be away from all that disgraceful stuff in Oregon!
“It’s not the politics” immediately explains it’s the politics.
Tell me these days WHAT is not connected to politics ??
Bam. Nailed it.
Truth
Blue state blues😂
The politics is the disease... the rest are just symptoms.
I was a local truck driver in Portland for 10+ years. I moved shortly after the BLM riots because one night around midnight, the protesters were blocking the i5 and i205 bridge into Washington and I had to deliver a load to Seattle. As I was patiently waiting in the line of traffic (I was paid hourly so I didn’t really care tbh), I noticed the “protesters” were climbing on the truck a few cars ahead of me. Then I seen one with a baseball bat and he was smashing the trailer lights with it… and after like 2 minutes, they got to my truck. They started smashing the headlights, the windshield, slashing my tires and airlines, and spray painting all over my truck. Lasted all of 2-3 minutes and then they moved on. My night was shot as I had to wait for my company to pick me up, they sent a tow truck and another semi to grab the trailer. I hid in the cab with my gun, ready to pop off, but they didn’t want in, they were just trying to cause as much destruction as possible. I moved a short 3 months after that happened, in the middle of Covid. I wasn’t sticking around
How horrible of an experience..
It's no coincidence that every state that's losing population has a reputation of being LIBERAL LIBERAL LIBERAl..Being from Wisconsin; I know that basically Illinois is end to end blessed with some of the richest farmland in the world & should be a well to do state..but the City of Chicago & all there crooked politicians & unbelievable crime rate drags the entire state into absolute NOTHINGNESS...
@@neilschauer5080on No your car got damaged 😂
Glad you came through that. That wasn’t protesters though, it was hooligans taking advantage of the chaos. We have Way too many of them around.
@@kimhorton6109 I feel you. I know it wasn’t real protesters but that’s literally what the media was calling them lol. I moved to Hawaii and I’m much much happier regardless
In California it’s housing costs, crime, bad school system. And yes, it has to do with politics
Not much has changed in nearly 30 years it seems
Traffic was what killed it for me.
California's biggest problem i that there are too many people. It would be good if the population was reduced by a third or a half. Most of the other problems are related to that.
I should point out though that people have complained about the school system forever. California does have the best higher education in the country though. People come here for that from all over the world.
If you want to see how bad the crime is, watch a movie from the 1950's. It seems like California is just infested with criminals. I especially recommend "The Maltese Falcon". You will see how immigrants are affecting the crime rate.
Yep! Get the hell out of CA so us real Californians can have our gorgeous state back.
@@joellenrhodes456 Except for the Valley Girls, I've never known who real Californian's were.
"If you like craft beer, strip clubs, and grey skies--Oregon is for you." Laughed out loud.
That was the bad points in the 00's, now it's murder, drugs, and insane cost of living
Florida is warm beer, strip clubs, and sand fleas
Surprised to see this channel here!
Why?
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs
I was surprised Washington state wasn't on here.
Well, with regard to Oregon, I've noted over the years that if there's anywhere really nice to live people will swarm into it until it's not nice anymore, and then they will complain about it when they did it.
It's more involved than these days. It's called the culture war. It involves a good deal of misinformation designed to make certain cultures and ideas inferior. It's really designed to keep us as a civilization divided.
I'm not even American, I'm Canadian, but this is too true over here in Ontario. People from the Greater Toronto Area are moving everywhere else and ruining it.
Yes, that's what I've noticed too.
It's like moving to Florida and complaining about the weather! Ha! 😎
Colorado has been another place where the people swarmed in until it's not nice anymore. I miss our Colorado of the early 1960's. 😢
The top reasons why people are leaving Illinois is NOT the weather. It's the massive property taxes and the crime. I've lived here for 61 years, so I should know!
I left because of the weather, pollution, and the police state that still doesn't stop the crime.😒😒😒😡🤡👹
Come to Texas if you want to complain about property taxes.
I pay $1400 taxes on a $70,000 piece of property and thanks to an inflated real-estate market they have an average $200 yearly increase.
A c40 city
When we left IL 24 years ago we bought a house for ten times what our house in IL was worth. We paid the same amount of real estate taxes as we did in IL. I swore I would never buy a home in IL again. Besides the corruption in Chicago steals downstate tax dollars.
@@MrStacy1974 I tell people who think Texas is a tax paradise because they have no income tax to research the outrageous property tax. Government is going to get it's money one way or another.😒😒😒😡
The image of people moving from Hawaii in a U-Haul just made me chuckle.
U-Haul must have rental boats now
I grew up in Oregon. My youngest son was born in March. The next spring when he was a little over 1 yr. old he was standing on the couch and had moved the curtain to look out the window. He started crying and pointing and yelling Hot! Hot! I went to see what was scaring him so much. It was the sun.
Kid is gonna be a grey sky lover I can tell.
@@michealzachary3888 Like me! ☺
Best story 👍🇺🇸
My oldest was born in March and similar reaction the spring after she turned 1 in Canada. She heard a flock of birds calling outside for the first time after a 6 month winter and asked ""what?" I said it was the birdman and his minions coming to get her. Sadly she didn't believe me and giggled. Would have been way cooler if I had convinced her. She's 20 and never believes me about anything 😅
@@runningfromabear8354 It's so great to have these memories of such simple things. When my son cried about the sun I never thought that 43 years later I would remember it. I wonder how many things I have forgotten. I wish I could remember it all, every minute.
The reasons I left The People's Republic of Illinois after 35 years is because the politics suck, the crime sucks, and the taxes suck.
Weather was the #1 issue for my departure, but taxes were a close second!
tough combo
Left Illinois last month. No regrets
❤
Good, we don’t need you, and don’t bother coming back when you have no water, can’t afford insurance, or any of the other things that climate change is affecting.
When someone claims it's not the politics, you can rest assured it's the politics.
Michigan has historically lost population too, but it seems like that is starting to change and it's on the upswing. Detroit even gained some people in the recent census.

Don't be so eager to dismiss politics. Oregon is a huge state, with multiple economic zones, only a few of which are rainy. There's only one thing all these regions share in common, and that is subjugation to one-party rule by an extreme faction who ruin the state by design--de facto legalizing riots, encouraging open-air drug encampments that ruin urban centers and burn down forests, draining schools of students by sacrificing curriculum to the promotion of gender drugs and surgery, draining the state of families by taking custody from parents who don't use the right pronouns, and paying farmers in the state's most agriculturally abundant areas to grow marijuana instead, making it hard to buy food in a state that should be self sufficient and leaving large sections of Oregon with rotting weed that's worth nothing and feeds no one. And they get away with it because there's no shortage of mainstream and online media eager to soft-peddle the situation. It's gross; why do you do it?
I am leaving Illinois and the number one reason is high taxes.
You moving to Wyoming?
Don't move to commiefornia then. I'm assuming your going to wyoming because of your profile pic?
I don’t blame you. The government has gotten greedy in many states. I think it’s because there is a lot of crony corruption going on.
So politics. It’s been run by corrupt politicians for a century.
High taxes + declining services is hurting Illinois.
The 2nd Amendment is under attack in Illinois.
They aren't leaving because of the weather.
The problem is, these people often leave these states and pollute their new states with the same politics.
I’m assuming you mean maga.
I left the Chicago area 23 years ago and moved to SouthWestern Ohio...boy, am I glad I did.

I left NY (LI) and moved to SW Ohio also. Haven’t looked back
I was born in California in 1951, and watched it go downhill. Over regulation, high taxes and high gas prices finally drove me to Alaska in 2017. Food is more expensive, but Walmart avocados were $6 for 5 small ones. Where I live, there's no income tax, no sales tax, no property tax. Gas in Fairbanks right now is at least a buck per gallon cheaper than California. And you can carry a gun, and nobody cares. Does get very cold in the winter which makes people leave, but from mid-May to mid-September the weather is nice, and the long sunny days does amazing things in my garden.
What you saw about California is a massive influx of people who wanna live there and they’re being only so much land.
So you're hoping for the best rather than having a social safety net there to catch you, got it.
You can carry a gun most places in the US without anyone batting an eye. Not sure what you're crying about there.
@@nobody.of.importance no. California makes it a misdemeanor at minimum, as do most states. Only a few allow concealed carry without a permit, and only a few more allow open carry. Most states have laws pertaining to transporting firearms, frequently in a locked container.
@@hairy-one Dude, what alternate reality are you living in? I'm in Oregon, one of the bluest states in the country, and people walk around here with guns all the time.
Briggs I hate to say it but Politics is the reason why most of the people on this list have left for greener pastures.
FACTS!

@@lightwarrior432all I hear is crickets
@@Nitrogenbreath Listen better 😉👍🏽
The truth is people move for warmer climates like Florida and Texas. In time these red states will expose the hatefull biased politics. People will move back.
My husband and I moved to Oregon from central California. We were sick of the heat and sunshine in the area where we lived, up by Sacramento, so we moved to western Oregon, where we love the weather, including the constant clouds and rain.
Im in utah and im headed to oregon next,i wish i could install the state govt of utah in oregon but i wont let politics determine where i go
Sounds familiar, my husband and I live in Roseville and would love to move to Beaverton for that exact reason 😄
Thank you for leaving and giving us more room.
@@tomb5552 enjoy your california dumpster fire
@@shadfletcher6815That could happen some day as one of the largest voting blocks keeping Democrats in power has been Hispanics due to the undocumented workers issue and migration, if Republicans managed to solve these outstanding issues, provide a path to all people who are undocumented to become citizens and solve the migration issue a major block of voters could switch sides Hispanics are mostly conservative socially, they see family values highly and are mostly strong Christians so they share a lot of values with Republicans, the only item holding back the vote is the above.
I've mentioned this before, but the eastern part of Oregon (the right-hand 2/3 of the state) is totally different from the western part. We hardly get any rainfall as precipitation goes, but we get a fair amount of snow in the winter. The Bend/Redmond area is growing very fast, while Portland accounts for almost all of the people moving out of the state...
Same somewhat as California. Eastside (Lower foothills on up the Sierra Mountains) get out voted by the mass city dwellers along the coast.
I wanna succeed from Oregon but I’m in Marion county 😢
Bend OR has white pointy hat members.
Spoken like a true patriot.
Oh, sorry, didn’t read your YT name…
@@MrKim-kv2vv Yeah. Unfortunately, I have to pay attention to things like that before I relocate. Bend OR might not be safe for me, …, but I guess it’s ok 👍 for everyone else!
"It's not the politics It's the housing costs". Why do you think the housing costs are going up? 😭
Too many people and not enough houses and apartments.
@@les0101sLA is half apartments, if not more…
And why aren’t there enough houses and apartments? Politics. Loopy policies and environmental regulations make it difficult and unprofitable to build apartments. Those regulations also make houses expensive to build.
@@kylewhittaker3519 Inflation caused by terrible politics
@@TheBruceGdayMaybe your home town has empty lots but that is not the case for the population hubs of LA and the Bay Area. It’s a popular place and we have many lucrative industries here and very little space (in the urban areas). There aren’t many places to build in any of the congested areas.
Native Californian, soon to be Arizonian. I was born just up the street from Disneyland, and have lived here 59 years, but I am out. California has turned into a crap place to live. Everything is more expensive, gas, food, groceries, property, auto registration, etc... Sacramento keeps throwing taxpayer money away on a high speed rail that, so far, only goes from SF to Merced and will never be able to turn a profit. It used to be my friends and I could go dirt bike riding, or ride horses in the hills, go hangliding off the cliffs in Laguna and Dana Point. Now all those places are filled with gated communities and snobs.
CA is going to be the mecca of snobs and people who just like to impress and spend their money in abandon. Taxpayers will be the target now, and finding decent home insurance will be a nightmare (as in FL). NO regrets whatsoever on leaving to a more hospitible state.
FEEL Ya 😁
As a Sacramento resident, for what it's worth, I have no desire for that High-Speed Rail.
Amen brother
Don't vote like someone from California when you come to AZ
I'm a Boomer who worked in NYC in the 60s & 70s. Even back then, the smart people who worked there, didn't live there. They took the high salaries of the city and commuted back and forth from Upstate or New Jersey.
Serious situation with some excellent humorous digs,lol. Alaska mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds, New York rats the size of chihuahuas, too funny Briggs, totally caught me off guard. Thanks for some giggles.👍❤️
"Illinois taxes the size of Pritzker" - I know he didn't say that in the video, but he should!
As someone who currently lives in NY I can agree and I will be added to that statistic soon when I leave for good
I’m from W NYS. Have lived out of state for yrs and now am close to retirement. I wish I could move back to my home state, but alas, too expensive!
I don’t even really mind the snow either! Just too expensive to live there as a retiree! I wouldn’t even mind living in a diff part from the region where I grew up! I miss my beautiful home state.
@@beigenegress2979where did you end up instead?
Right there with you!
Well I’m packing up in 2 weeks and heading to Nashville. Westchester NY is sky high and we had enough. Plus Hochul…..😂 I retire June 30. Moving July 1st. Can’t wait.
My brother left Westchester and now leaving Rockland for New Hampshire. Property taxes out of control

@@jwinder2 Falling crime rates REPORTED.. Its all a lie.
Don't know what it says about me that I've lived in many of those states. Currently Oregon. I don't get the issue with weather, especially lately. It seems like we get a lot less rain and overcast skies than before.
That's what I think. I moved here about 25 years ago and at that time, it rained a lot more and was gray all winter. For many years now, the weather has been much better. We get a lot of sun all year long. It'll be gray for a few days and then the sun comes out. I love the weather now.
Aye, it's been getting hotter. Cuz climate change. I personally enjoy the rainy weather here and am not a fan of summer.
As an upstate New Yorker, the cost of living here is ridiculous
The cost of loving everywhere is ridiculous! 🤣
Buffalo and Syracuse are cheap but they're Buffalo and Syracuse (I'm from buffalo)
I had to leave. NY is run by loons
@@th1s1sn0tj0shRochester is very expensive to live. High school and property taxes and New York has a totally insane Governor and legislature.
I've lived in Buffalo NY, as well as Jamaica Queens, Brooklyn and Poughkeepsie NY. Cost of living is high anywhere near NYC, but (if you have good insurance) health care is GREAT. AND from other friends I've heard it ISN'T as good upstate. ... And I wouldn't want to THINK of going anywhere south of the Mason Dixon.
As a lifelong Pennsylvanian, I have to disagree about the endless winter. We barely had a winter this past year. That might change in the mountains, but here in SE PA there was hardly any winter. We seem to have the same climate that Richmond, VA had when I was there in the late 80s and early 90s.
This video commentor was wrong on a lot of things. It is like he lives in a bubble.
I can speak for the mountains (SW PA), the biggest storm we had this year was 2 inches! We had an absolutely wonderful winter and it was VERY warm as early as February when we saw 50-60 degree days for a while and had very mild weather for the rest of it.
@hsauto589 yeah, I remember it hit 70 here in February one or two days.
@@jeffm9770 yes it did, I thought so but I don't speak on anything I don't know! It was an amazing winter out this way!
He is obviously a liberal trying to blame the weather when he knows it's the politics

probably Florida, so many old people ,especially in the paradise coast, and the villages. Plus a bunch of 55+ restricted communities that offer lower rent

I can see that
True, I know a lot of people who are on the move again for this reason.
I left Northern CA 14 years ago when the wealthier southern californians came up north and started ruining it for us all. I have no intention of returning.
They are a douchy lot. My liberal friend in Colorado can't stand them.
I visited the Bay Area for Xmas week in 1989 (after that earthquake) hosted by distant relatives.
I was do impressed (even in winter) with how beautiful the area was (at the time) and raved about it when I returned to the E coast and said if I ever bec wealthy, I might take my chances and move to Bay Area.
NOW, my RUclips feed is full of horrifying footage of sf! What in the holy -uck did they do to beautiful sf?
I realized I was there a long time ago, but Christ on a cracker! Sf/bay area has long been one of our most beautiful cities and most beautiful regions! 😢😮
Even though I have not been back, it breaks my heart 💔 to see what has happened to sf and the Bay Area when I see it in my yt feed! Disgraceful!
😢 Truly sad! 😔
@@beigenegress2979 So many of our beautiful cities have been allowed to fall into decay (housing and infrastructure) and become cesspools of crime, they've become unlivable (I'm looking at you Philly, Baltimore and others).

I rather have 3 months of Winter than have Summer 80+ degrees Year Round
Or 90+ temperature & 90 humidity

Texas has 100+ most of the summer. It’s miserable.
Surprised Louisiana's number 1 reason was hurricanes. They get *A LOT* of them.
Well it's mostly the Gulf Coast region, included alongside Texas, Florida and NY/NJ that get hit HARD with hurricanes; if not hurricane-related storms. Just ask any flood relief fund and flood-related insurance firms. They can tell ya all about it
& you need good ice houses to store the recently deceased..
Not all of Oregon is bad. Just avoid most of The Willamette Valley, especially steer clear of Portland. Eastern Oregon gets much more sunshine. Mountains and Outback which are very beautiful.
When on the west coast avoid the Interstate 5 corridor. That leaves large parts of Cali Oregon and Washington still available for traditional Americans.
The Willamette valley is paradise.

Beg to differ on the "endless winter" of Philadelphia. The last 3 or 4 years, we've barely had winter at all. Another good point is we're largely immune to other bad weather issues like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fish and frogs falling from sky. etc.😊 Happens rarely if at all. Jobs, sure, we're on point with other northeastern states. Not bad but not amazing.
We don’t have to worry about earthquakes either.

Go to Texas. If you like the dry climate, then try west Texas. I do not recommend living in NM and this is from a New Mexican. It's extremely hot, there's high poverty, high crime, and if you need a doctor, then good luck finding one in NM. Best wishes.

I literally just left California for New York this year! I went from a big city L. A. to rural part of New York. The reason is exactly like the video said. I tried for years to buy a house in California, but it’s too damn expensive. We found incredibly affordable housing in rural New York and just up and moved. It took 2 months to find a job, but finally landed a job like I had before with really great opportunities to move up. So far everything is affordable and am doing good. We are alone here, though, so that’s the only negative part is missing our families. We just couldn’t afford to live there anymore. It’s peaceful and quiet and apparently very safe. So far so good.

We left Oregon because it's a horrible place to raise kids and the politics.

But yeah, terrible place to raise your children or open a business.
I am from Illinois, and I can't wait to leave. The one positive I have is I am 5 minutes from Wisconsin state line.
I’ve said the before as a New Yorker (Native). The City is too expensive and upstate doesn’t have a strong job market. NYC is just too, but if I was rich I’d move back.

West Virginia is prospering along the Virginia and Maryland borders. Subdivisions and strip malls are popping up everywhere. New Residents commute to the tech and pharma industries located in the outer suburbs of DC or work in one of the new factories that have relocated to the area.
Coal mining is on the decline from here, so it is good to diversity.
West Virginia is a great place to live and raise a family! I have lived all over the state and been all around the country. I have an engineering degree and an MBA and a doctorate.
I really recommend you you consider living here.
We have had the opportunity to live all over and we are still here (different end of the state). Great universities and cultural opportunities.
Wonderful people!
I'm surprised Tax Jersey, er, I mean New Jersey wasn't on this list. NJ has the highest Property Taxes in the nation and tries to tax damn near everything which makes things tough on retirees.
Left that place 33 years ago because of that.
@@manfredmann2766 Me too! I'm glad you got free as well. I left in the 80s when I went in the Military and didn't go back when I got out. One of the best decisions I ever made. I retired debt free at 59 where I am living. I doubt I could have pulled that off if I stayed in Tax Jersey.
Correct, I left 30 years ago and have no desire to ever go back.
In N.J. the secrete is to make more money than you pay in taxes.
I’m in California & know a lot of people who’ve left or are planning to leave. Top reasons is politics, economy & family.
Good, CA is a shitshow, and Newsome is a fucking disgrace, much like all other Democrat politicians.
Illinois resident here. Never heard a person who have left even mention Utah. It’s all Tennessee and Florida. And #1 reason is taxes. Yes jobs are part of it but it’s taxes and a sense that Chicago runs the state. So I’d say politics IS a huge determinant factor. We have jailed more past governors recently than I bet other states have corruption bud. Bad politicians bad politics bad policies made Illinois a bad state in the last 40 years.
We used to live in Alaska, and we liked going to Minnesota to get away from the mosquitoes.
Lol 😂
We lived in the twin cities Minnesota for 22 years. We had to spray for mosquitoes 🦟 in our year every 2 weeks after a week we could barely walk our back yard. I can’t imagine a place that could be worse than there I’m with Mosquitoes 🦟 lol
You say Alaska is worse than that Jeez !
@@jasonbrodierqevermy1998 we lived in kenai. It was only bad in spring, but it was much worse than Minnesota. We had family on lake Minnetonka, and always loved when the family reunion was in the spring.
@@amadensor yeah that’s a nice area of Minnesota. But the rest of the state sucks. It’s filled with around 12,500 lakes everywhere. And everywhere near by those lakes are infested with mosquitoes 🦟 for the 3-4 months of the summer.
Lake Minnetonka is a wealthy area of Minnesota and so they spray well for mosquitoes is it’s pretty livable because of that fact.
Most of all the other areas are poorer or middle class areas where the City can’t afford to spray for the mosquitoes 🦟 so it’s infinitely worse if you actually lived there year round.
Although i have seen on tv some parts of Alaska on the roads where people are driving get invested by swarms of Mosquitoes. It was like something out of a horror movie lol 🤣
So I can believe you that it’s worse in Alaska.
We moved to florida and I was expecting similar from what people said but in actual fact there is 85-95% less mosquitoes here than back in Minnesota. I have seen no alligators 🐊 at all in the 3 years we have been here and about 90 % less snakes also.
Just saw 3-5 snakes in 3 years and they just keep the rats alway supposedly which I have seen none.
People are far friendly and actually really nice people unlike that fake 2 faced passive aggressive behavior that Minnesota has going on from the Karen’s like Katie’s and Gracie’s . lol 🤣 but
@@jasonbrodierqevermy1998 it wasn't the rich part in the 70's, it was bumpkin country.
I would like to move out of Oregon too. In my opinion, it's getting way too expensive in Oregon. I know it's beautiful and all, but, unfortunately, beauty doesn't pay the bills.
i loved oregon. went backpacking there years ago.
Thank you for being respectful. Oregon isn't perfect and it's not for everyone. It gets exhausting to see the constant hate Oregon, specifically Portland gets. Believe it or not, it IS getting better. It just takes time to undo some of the mistakes we made in the past. We learned our lesson and we're moving on.
@emilysmith259 Actually, I try to be respectful of all places I go to. All places have aspects that make them unique. A lot of the times, especially for the states on this list, it's financial/economic issues that get them in a downward spiral. And Oregon is no different. I just don't make enough money to warrent living in Oregon any more. And I'm sure this goes for lots of other people as well. Thus the population loss in Oregon exists.
We moved to Oregon in 2022 because we could afford to buy a house here. A $600k house near Portland would be $2m in Northern California. We were priced out of buying a house in my home state CA when we could finally afford one. Other cost of living factors here are also way cheaper than Cali like gas, groceries, car insurance and registration, no sales tax. Weather doesn’t bother me at all. Beautiful state..Love it here👍
I guess you can save money in rural Arkansas, Alabama or Mississippi, however...
Howdy Bro Briggs. I am the original "Rocket Money Guy"! ie-having run stringent accounting three past decades..Left Native CA December 2020 for North Texas.
Damn dude, what a step down. I would rather be forced to eat my own legs raw than live in texas.
Anyone who thinks politics and State policy is not affecting people leaving an area is fooling themselves. Yes, cost of living is another big one but not the only thing.
Cost of living is driven in a significant way by policy - so politics "is the reason." Unfortunately, many people don't think enough to understand why they leave, so they claim cost of living. They the bring their poor decisions to the next state they chose and proceed to destroy it too. I'm in Arizona, experiencing the destructive policy Californians bring with them.
There is a long running meme that Gavin Newsome is u- haul's salesman of the year😊😊
I’ve lived all over the US but my home state is California. When people say “weather” or “jobs” they’re very often choosing less potentially offensive language that would tend more towards the truth. Economics, political differences and family are always gonna be the biggies. We are built to crave our own herd. And let’s be frank. Especially since covid there are tons of extremely obnoxious people.
The New Yorkers have all moved to Naples to complain about the PIZZA 😂😂😂.
New Yawk! 🤩
Yeah, because it sucks
NY'ers complain about everything everywhere they go!!!🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
My Mom, a transplant from Pittsburgh, never liked California. She arrived there in 1963 and left in 2005.
I moved out of California 6 years ago because of the politics. I really miss all the sunshine and outdoor stuff, but glad I'm gone.
I left Colorado for the same reason, since it got taken over by Dems and went downhill. I miss the mountains and the snow. It ticks me off how these corrupt people keep moving in and destroying a once great place to live.
My sister and nieces moved to Oregon. My sisters reason was “it’s okay to be impoverished here” and she meant that. She has spent her whole live not bothering to be anything but poor, even with a college education.
Almost all of these states are liberal strongholds....yet not one of the reasons cited for leaving were about politics. Especially from California, Illinois, New York and Oregon. BS flag raised.
I moved from Michigan. The mosquitoes wasn’t the main reason. But it could have been if the state didn’t have so many other problems.
Like snow.😮
@@marknewton6984Right! I left MI and moved to San Diego 6 yrs ago. Idc if I ever see another snowflake for the rest of my life. 😂
I don't like snow. That's why I live in Florida.😮
I live in PA and and the taxes are high and businesses are leaving out of state or overseas
I seen that since California was pushing everyone to switch from gas to electric vehicles that the state is losing a lot of money was the gas tax. They are trying to pass a bill that would tax electric vehicles $.30 per mile for every mile driven. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's not enough to cover the greatest wear and tear they cause roads and infrastructure needs... 75 cents a mile is closer to real cost.
Plus, they're trying to add another 50¢/gallon tax to gasoline.
@@bukboefidun9096 on average most cars travel 12,000 miles a year. $.75 cent a mile would be a $9k a year. 9k just to drive a ev
@Carvel0 yes, the president says "don't" "don't" .. [worry over the cost]
And Florida has all these liscense plates all over the road with uhauls following 😢
Agreed. Living in Ft Laudy, I Really noticed this past 6 months, how many NY, Cali and Illinois plates are now down here. My commute has went from 20 min to 40 min this past year. Its crazy.
Snowbirds. 😎
I left Rhode Island for Iowa to live with my Iowan fiancé. Ironically; the one thing I miss about Rhode Island is the weather. We had bad weather? No we don't. I've never experienced lower than -5 (with the wind chill)
West Virginia is very beautiful.
Almost heaven...
I’ve lived in Michigan all of my adult life ( born in Wisconsin). Love Michigan! Would never leave. I have a view of Lake Michigan - live in a small coastal town - of course retired. The last two winters have actually been warmer than previous years. Summer is the best. Never use my air - just the breeze off the lake. This truly is my sanctuary.
Briggs! Love your videos!!
I’m still planning on moving to WV
Beautiful country,That Backwoods Right there son😂❤
Didn’t this guy have a video saying how WV is going to be the next place lots of people will start moving too, but now he’s saying people are leaving it again.
@@sevel7556 Yes and no. There are TRANSPLANTS, but more people leave than come in. It's typically older people who settle but younger people will leave
Love Oregon. Born there. Loved living there. Moved out almost 5 years ago. Cost of living in rural Oregon was comparable to Portland, though wages were still stuck in the 1990's. Weather was mild, people were nice, scenery was beautiful, but I wasn't born in California and that is what Oregon has become... North California.
As a native Californian, please leave, it is way too crowded here.
When I was working in the Silicon Valley area. During recessions the traffic does lighten up a bit. But it never took long for the traffic to return. Now I'm retired and I can schedule around rush hour.
I wouldn't worry. No one I know wants to be anywhere in your state.
@@roxannekean6025 But as a native Californian myself, living overseas; I would BEG to differ...
I already left.
Sorry, moved here from SE Pennsylvania in the 90s when they still had real winters, and while I miss four seasons, I ain't leavin'.
Get back to me when a state a that has an economy larger than France's is considered "collapsing". Britain is 2/3rds the size of California. Of *course* there will be problem spots; any country that large has them.
As a resident of Mississippi you are right about jobs being an issue. When you find a good one here you hang on with both hands.
We were stationed in Biloxi for a short stint and I have to say I have very fond memories of Mississippi and it's people. I always brag about it whenever I have a chance and encourage people to go and experience Mississippi's magic for themselves. I think maybe people have a stereotyped idea of what it's all about. In the military world, we all really like getting assigned to Southern Mississippi. 😊
I love my Mississippi 💜
When you explained why so many are leaving you missed listing the massive property taxes and democrat politics. I'm on SS and I pay 3 months of my income on property taxes. We have no homestead exemption for the elderly. Democrats are tax and spend so it has become too expensive to live here. For the record: I love the beauty and the rain that nourishes the beauty. After 60 years, I just can't afford Oregon. 😢
Democrats will never blame Democrat policies when moving.
Mississippi has the least amount of homeless per capita than any other state in the nation. Let that sink in
Nonsense... most Missisippians would qualify as homeless in most other states!
It also consistently ranks dead last or close to it in totality quality of life!!
Let that sink in!
The metro areas in WV are doing OK. Some of them are even growing. Most of the coal towns are dying off, but, some have found an explosion in tourism with the advent of Offroading trails. There's also a good possibility that parts of Maryland and Virginia will annex into WV within the next decade. WV has problems, but, it has a lot going for it. So much so, that counties from two of its neighboring states want to jump into the fire with us.
WV is in desperate need of investment. I think there is a strong base there of willing workers, but the geographical isolation has in many ways confined them to a generational poverty. Many only subsist.
Nope. New Yorkers are not moving upstate. Upstate is dying faster (by far) than NYC. They are moving to Florida. Why buy a century old dump and pay QUADRUPLE the property taxes vs. a new (or nearly new) house in Florida? Throw in zero income tax, and the standard of living is night and day.
FL has astronomical insurance, if you can get it, and any decent house will run you $700K or more depending on where you live. If you can live with overpopulation, daily intense heat, humidity, bugs, snakes and gators by all means move to FL. I live 90 min from FL beaches and have for 67 years. I know way more people that moved to FL and came back than stayed over the years, mostly because of rising costs. Now people are moving because FL is very conservative and getting more so.
Some people prefer older houses, y'know. And won't they be in for a surprise when they get their FL insurance bill.
Snowbirds. Behave..
😮
Just want to say I enjoy your humorous metaphors. Very creative sarcasm- a lite bite that rings true but doesnt hurt too much.
As a native Oregonian I think you have overblown the gray skies and rain, but it's nice to see that people are leaving. If enough leave maybe the cost of living here will become a bit more affordable.
I live in Illinois (Chicago), and believe me, I’m moving my family from this fucking shit hole the first chance I get.
Avocado Toast Under A Bridge

People have already left Pennsylvania ages ago. Its incredibly elderly and they are dying

We are visiting Myrtle Besch today. Its so much better than California beaches
Not even close
Cost of housing in MB is out of sight. Traffic is horrible. There are 5 minute traffic lights (we timed it) Roaches are giant (euphemistically called palmetto bugs). Mosquitos can pick you up and carry you away. The powers that be have their heads in the sand when it comes to upgrading and improving anything. HOA's are everywhere, and that is something you need to steer clear of. Experience speaking
Visiting 👍
Living 👎
Waiting for big change in Florida since insurance is making it hard for people to afford living here. Then there are those hurricane things which led to the insurance issues.
Random Fact: Charlotte (NC) has the biggest diaspora of Buffalonians. Also a huge amount of people from New York City, Rochester and New Jersey as well have moved to Charlotte.
I grew up in rural PA just outside of Lancaster County. The small towns are hit or miss. Some are very clean and charming places. Low key and great to raise a family. Others are economically depressed district 13 type places. It just depends where you go. Pennsylvania's wages are extremely low and despite a relatively low state and sales tax, they have a bunch of little extra taxes (school tax, township tax, etc) that add up making it more expensive tax wise than even California. The gas tax is pretty high too.
Pennsylvania also has weird alcohol laws (no private retailers are allowed to sell alcohol unless it can legally classify as a restaurant. And even then, they are only allowed to sell beer and certain wines under a specific alcohol percentage. Everything else is sold at state-controlled liquor stores (called wine and spirits). And due to heavy regulation, alcohol tends to be more expensive than other states.
I have a love hate relationship with pennsylvania. Some parts of it I miss, probably for nostalgia reasons being I grew up there. But as an adult, I'm happy to be out of there. Overall very stagnant state with little in terms of development.
PA is in the middle of states with taxes. It isn't close to the tax rates in New York, California or New Jersey.
@@jjcnpa I lived in both PA and CA with the same pay rate. I literally get more taxes taken out in PA than in CA.
i wish florida was #1.. our state is set up for tourists , come , visit, GO HOME. We are set up to house retirees , come stay see the Dr die and your family sells your place to another old person. Nice stable system . We are not set up for millions more to live here. . prices are insane, insurance is insane, traffic is insane all new jobs are construction or service industry , no money is making it back to local people. . I know where people from NY are going and its not to retire i see a sea of NY license plates when im in orlando or tampa , even land locked nothing going on ocala . Please go home people . Florida is full what you experience in a disney resort or the keys is not real florida. fix your own state , go home.
Aloha from Puna Big Island Hawaii 🌈 One way to avoid paying high rent while still being able to barbeque in the backyard in Hawaii is to become a caretaker of an unoccupied property. I do not mean squatting, I mean having an agreement with property owner who needs someone there to keep squatters from occupying the property, as well as upkeep or improvements. While this type of agreement does not bestow ownership, it can eliminate the cost of rent. And if the property is off grid you do not incur the utility expenses of electricity and water. It is also free to throw away rubbish at county waste collection and recycling stations, so no sanitation collection utility bill either.
Aloha. 😎
All those people leaving these states are raising the price/cost of housing and renting in other states. Along with the rising cost of living, there are also fewer and fewer houses available.
I know people who sold their house and property in California and bought a house and rentals in a different state. So now, they're not only getting income from their job or SSI, but from the rentals they bought. And rentals take normal housing off the market and put it into a different bracket, "Hello, Mr/Mrs Slum Lord!"
Especially Texas.
