No one really leaves because they hate it here. They leave because they are forced out. The red states are cheaper because no one wants to live in them. Massachusetts like others, offers opportunities for career development and growth. Self investment. Higher earnings. Etc.

The more free and beneficial the state, the more expensive it is because more people want to be there.

No one wants to live in the red states? Oh honey I'd be happy to live in a red state.

What's your demographic? You must not be at risk of anything major. I for one, would be killed in almost any red state. That's for sure.

White, female, married, 2 kids. If I was trans or lqbqt maybe I'd feel differently

I myself, am trans. I'm more terrified to go anywhere in any red state than I would feel probably going to many other parts of the world that I should feel less safe in.

I guess at your point since the only level of minority status you have is being female, you'd just have to hope you don't get raped somewhere. Otherwise, you'd be forced to carry any child forced upon you.

Well I'm 44 so the chances of me getting preggo from a one time encounter are pretty rare.

In any case I live in MA and will likely always live here due to family ties.

I literally said in my first sentence that people don't move because they hate it. Then you just said after "I don't hate it".... and that it was comfortable.

That's my point. No one 'hates' living here.

it sounds like your quality of life is better because you’re wealthy enough to be insulated from the things that make life truly suck.

But thanks for the continued property taxes at least.
