Interesting.
I remember when the population of Austin was "only" one million. The growth boom started in the early 90's and now it's terribly overcrowded and nothing like it was. People living on top of each other and horrible traffic.
Midland/Odessa is out in the freaking desert and the only thing driving the population boom was the now dead gas well fracking craze.

Remember in the 70 s lots of Illinois farmers moving into south west wisc because of the expansion in Chicago. Now we got Amish pushed out of Pennsylvania and new York . If you drive between Madison to dubuque it's almost 1 city . Not many natives left

The problem lies with the moveing is that most people think that they can. Change and live a better life. That the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. Most people that live where I live think that they can have more money to buy land and live a better life stlye in the east than in the west. Question is the grass really greener when you get to that other side of the fence?

The steady exodus from NY over the last 30-40 years leaves plenty of room for you move into, but nobody in their right mind would move here. We have the same problem here with the Rotten Apple as you have with Chicago. The city has ruined the whole state.
LOL go tell that to a bunch of gang bangers in Huston or Dallas and they are going to ask "who be dat?"! Or for that matter ask that of a bunch of kids attending A&M.
Me I never much cared for him even when I lived in TX.
People are moving because companies are moving. They are simply following their jobs. You are not getting poor people moving much because it takes money to move. Deposits and so on and the welfare people are not moving anywhere for a job! :x

Geo,
I live just south west of the city of Flint, Michigan and I have been a farmer and pilot my entire life. You have all heard of Flint and how you can get lead poisoning from drinking the water but if it were not for it being an election year you would not hear a word about it. Let me assure everyone that you can get lead poisoning from just driving through the north end of Flint any night of the week and it is much faster acting and normally fatal. Nearly thirty years ago their was a presidential debate held in Lansing, Michigan where George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton and a man named H. Ross Perot was running for President. Ross Perot made a statement to the other two that if they were to pass the NAFTA agreement that was being preposed in congress you will develop a "Great Sucking Sound" of manufacturing companies leaving this country. He went on to say that what we need is a fair trade agreement and not a free trade agreement. The other two made fun of him and the "Rust Belt" was born. What we have in our city now is a population made up mostly of elderly people who are living on a General Motors and social security retirement. As these people pass on their are no new jobs to attract younger people to come or to stay in this area so consequently our tax base has dried up and the city and county is bankrupt. There is enough blame to go around but what we have done to ourselves in our country is equalize the poverty with other countries.

My daughter bought a house in Evanston, IL during a job change from Washington DC last year. I live in MI and was astounded at how much it costs to live in IL. She was thrilled that her COL went DOWN! :lol: I.e It's all relative.
High cost areas will still have people if they have jobs available. If there are no jobs or people retire, the incentives to live there are less. Some WON'T leave because of family or whatever but those with choices will leave. Same reason people leave the Northeast and move to Florida. Cheaper to live there and fly up to visit family once in a while.

All I hear about on the CBS-6 news from Albany is more overnight shootings and their list of people with pics that the police are looking to find. I wonder what segment of our society is makeing up the population increase that you mention. They also stated the other night that NY was at the bottom of the list for retirement destinations.

I use to service generators in Austin.Would come down from Dallas to help the Austin shop. Shop was five blocks from I-35.First morning in town. 45 minutes to go five blocks. Then another hour to get to the job site ten miles down the road. Told my shop I would never go back. Send someone else.Total nightmare in town.
NY has never really tried selling itself as a retirement destination. And if state and local are high taxes are retirees are less apt to chose NY. Now everyone what to retire down south someplace. Has something to do with warm weather and a longer warm period every year.

The population is the middle class that has to sell a home to move . Those homes get refilled by newbies to the state. That is why the growth is Rockland and Long Island which are both commuter areas for New York city. Same in New Jersey population leaves when retired and sells middle class home to new state resident and population remains steady. Nobody abandons a 350- 500,000 dollar home .
