More on this story via Western Journal:
The political climate is far from the only factor spurring Americans out of Democrat-dominated urban areas into red states.
Redfin cited unaffordable housing prices as a prime driver of internal migration trends in its report.
Increasing mortgage rates also have driven Americans to look for property in more affordable areas.
Several of the metro areas suffering from outbound migration have become known for homelessness, crime and urban blight.
Some of the outbound migration “winners” embraced the dangerous “defund the police” experiment in 2020.
Many of the cities losing their residents also employed some of the most draconian coronavirus policies in the country. One example is Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is set to reimplement an indoor mask mandate, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
