About 375,000 people leave nys annually so there’s something to it. That’s not an insignificant number. Once Hochuls plans come together it will be more. Her green agenda will trash this state.

I wonder how long it will be before Hochuls wears a hijab all the time.

Agree on all points. But where do you flee to? Tuesday night showed us that literally almost no where is safe. That, and not a small number of people leaving are taking their voting preferences with them...and it's not just conservatives.
There be no shelter here, the frontline is everywhere.

Looks like its time for my favorite theme song on the subject. Hmmmm, Seems like the first time I posted it was on the old forum. I can understand fleeing shithole USA, but yer just buying time.
Fucking sad.

Just recently bought a second home in Florida, originally the idea was a snowbird type of owner. However after this election disaster in New York state and Florida passing amendment 3, it might be time to rethink things.

Honestly, I have a crush on WV.
Its probably the reddest state east of the Mississippi and it flies under the radar no one cares about it.
And it's frigging beautiful.
And it's affordable.
Even their D politicians are conservative by most comparisons.
Exactly 0.0 liberals are moving to WV.
it might honestly be the best safe Haven in the east. (Obviously, SD, ND, WY, MT, ID) Are probably the strongest conservative grouping of states to move to but that not realistic for everyone.
The best Eastern option might honestly be WV.
If you doubt me just do a Zillow search, look up: WV, 2+ acres, 3+ bedrooms, 1.5+ baths and under 300k.
You'll find an assortment of different properties around the state that are very much livable and very affordable. There are genuinely livable homes that are affordable and have $700 annual property taxes.
And there's essentially 0.0% chance the liberals take over WV and ruin it. They're far more worried about ruin states like NC, VA, TX, TN etc. seriously, even the WV Democrats are the traditional blue collar Dems not the insane socialist commie bastards. Huge difference.
It's so under rated and under appreciated. Every time I've ever been there, I always think to myself, people sure are friendly and happy here. I bet it's a nice place to live.

Also lots of liberals moving there. I agree WV and TN look real nice right now. TN shocked me but their minimum wage is still $7.25 so maybe that’s a factor.

This is because there is no businesses base there and very little work to be found. Lots of farming there, but now with remote work it shouldn’t be a huge deal. I know a few people in WV and they are all great people. I don’t know many so I’m not sure what that says.
Minimum wage in most of the south is ridiculously low comparatively .
They call it Sunshine pay.

Everyone one I know in West Virginia is a far left liberal loon. Granted it's just over a dozen people in 3 families in 3 different rural WV locations but they are all to the left of a NY Democrat.
They are all relatives of different in-laws and were either former hippies or off spring of former hippies.
They all claim they are surrounded by like minded liberals in West Va. They are nice people, just political kooks who should logically know better (interestingly they admit they can not logically defend their political positions they refuse to modify.)

If you use a zip tie, forget the bag, I wanna see her eyes pop when the zip gets tight enough.
This, we looked at WV originally but the job market is terrible. Probably wouldn’t be a bad place to work remotely from or retire to.
Morgantown and Charleston are your typical blue-voting college towns.

The one time I traveled to West Virginia (probably close to 20 years ago now) I remember seeing a lot of signs for Democratic candidates at the time. I was floored to see as many Obama-Biden lawn signs as I did. I was told it was because that's who the Coal Miner's Union was telling its members to vote for. With the decline of the coal industry I'm not sure if the union has as much pull as it once did.
I see WV as being a bit similar to Vermont. A rural state that arguably should be very conservative but for varying reasons leans left, at least to a degree. In the case of WV I think it's because of its strong history of heavy union membership (and some of that came with a very socialist bent) and in VT because it was a haven for hippies looking to "get back to the land" and Mass-holes and New York Cidiots leaving their shitholes to someplace nice and bringing their voting habits with them. Kind of a precursor to what we've seen in Texas and other states but I digress.
WV was a beautiful state and all the folks I met were very friendly. Reminded me of the Adirondacks or parts of the Catskills. But it has a history of resource extraction (coal mostly but timber too I believe) and not much else in the way of industry. Some of the practices of the coal companies have been environmentally devastating (see mountaintop removal) with lots of polluted water. Not saying it's not looking into as a place to relocate if you want to, but it's not the paradise I think some try to make it out to be.
As John Denver said about it in his song, "Almost like heaven..." Key word being almost.

One of the best Democrats (now an Independent...go figure) we've had recently, Joe Manchin, represented WV. The guy didn't make many friends in Washington because he always put the interests of his constituents first.
Tim Burchett is cut from the same cloth, and Federman is coming along.

Manchin, was in fact a Democrat.
But his record is better than most conservatives.
The state that voted 69.97% for Trump in 2024 yet also repeatedly elected Manchin to multiple terms because he was genuinely a "decent" politician for them and was not some fringe loonatic progressive. He was a more populist conservative Democrat.
They seem like if someone follows through on their campaign word they will vote for them.
Learning about politics in other states besides NY is interesting to me.

Shit, there's places in WV that you could probably buy the whole town for $300k.
Look up McDowell County
