Not as a proportion of movers, but maybe in absolute terms. There are a lot of Californian refugees to go around.
The refugees are staying in cali, right? Or seattle?
reply
By definition, refugees are leaving their homes. Many refugees from other places are going to California, but Californian refugees are largely going to NV, AZ, and TX.

None are headed to NYC?
reply
Not appreciable numbers. NYC is shrinking, too. They're going to NJ, FL, and the Carolinas.

I did hear a lot of news about people going to NJ, even though the taxes there are higher. NYC is losing its place in the world.
reply
Yeah, Jersey wouldn't be my choice, but a lot of people have to stay close to NYC for work or family. Part of it was people moving because of the Covid lockdowns. You could still live like a human being in the Jesrsey suburbs. The other big factor is the skyrocketing crime in NYC.
reply
Right, that is the biggest thing I have heard about NYC lately. So much crime and drug use, and they arent doing anything about it.
