List of U.S. states and territories by net migration
At the same time, blue states make up 9 out of the bottom 11 spots for net migration.
Ezra Klein once said:
Voting is easy. Moving is hard.
What does it say of the state of affairs that, despite historical levels of polarization, Americans continue to move from blue states to red and swing states?
What consequences does this have in the near and far future for the country?
Will swing states and red states shift more blue? Will they not swing but become stronger once they are apportioned more House and electoral votes (TX and FL)?
Are blue states aware or interested in addressing this imbalance? Are they proposing or passing any serious legislation to stem the bleeding? Is there any reflection on what exactly is it about Democratic state governance that is driving people away?
What benefits will red and swing states see besides electoral? Will industry and commerce shift from the coasts, inland?
What does this mean for the future of the United States?

Like all things this is ultimately about housing and zoning policy
Are these Republicans or democrats migrating?
