Domestic Migration Is Driving Population Growth in U.S. Cities

[OfTheCross]

At a recent Dialogue with the Fed event—titled Does the Number Matter? On Governments and Regional Economic Growth—Gascon explained how domestic migration is helping to drive population growth in certain MSAs.

“Austin, Orlando, Raleigh, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Charlotte, Nashville, Denver, Seattle, Tampa. Those are places [where] … the economies are performing pretty well,” he told the audience. “So this migration is really capturing people moving to economies … [where] there continues to be a demand for workers.”

All those "grow th"cities are being infested with domestic migrants who are bringing thier liberalism to the new cities.  It is the same liberalism that taxed them, regulated them. unemployed them and forced them to escaped for a better life only to repeat the same mistakes as they take over local government.    But, WTF,  it will work this time.....

Mental illness.

We'd have to know what cities the migrants are coming from. Do you have a source for the data?

Sure look it up.  Illiniois, New York, New Hamster, California just to name a few.  Look at the population shrinkage maps by state.  They are coming from liberal run shitholes.

This is old news really.  Those cities/states that have high tax rates and high cost of living are taxing their residents right out of the state. These states are predominately liberally run states.  It's not rocket science; people move/migrate to where it is more affordable.

The problem of course is it changes the demographics of those states which boils down to more liberal votes at the polls.

There has been a trend of Hispanics moving to the upper midwest, but not necessarily large cities.
Why? Well, for instance there's a small town north of where I live Arcadia, Wisconsin, that has been known for it's poultry production.
The problem: many of the young residents of the area don't want to work in the nasty poultry factories anymore. Fowl...er... foul conditions. I used to work with a guy from the area who told me about working in those factories..
But Hispanics will do those jobs.
So now Arcadia has a sizable Hispanic population. Drive through the town, and you'll see a number of businesses that cater to Hispanics.
There are a number of other small towns in Minnesota and Wisconsin the wife and I have driven through where we noticed large crowds of people of obvious Hispanic descent. They're willing to work in the food production plants where the native residents don't want to work.

That's always going to be the cycle of "dirty" jobs.

The immigrants and poorer class will be more willing to do it

Getting quotes from rental companies like U-Haul can cast some light on the migration patterns as well.  A truck from Los Angeles to Houston can be upwards of three grand, while the same one from Houston to LA is in the hundreds.  I haven't checked the exact figures lately.

"Swimming with the current" is always more expensive.
