capital formations have been relocating south for a bit now and bringing their cheap labor demands. there’s a Who Makes Cents pod on the phenomenon and it’s impact on US internal migration / interview with a book author. pretty sure it was released in 2024. I can look it up if anyone is interested.
I think anybody who is able should be swimming in the opposite direction as hard as they can, but capital has a gravitational pull that can uproot people and move them against their impulses.
there are also a big chunk rich, older morons from the northeast corridor who think “me get big house in sunshine” and go no further. they need maids and egg salad sandwiches and new sliding glass doors and pill dispensers and butt wipers.
Oh, I read it as “land that will be useful as SCUBA tour sites for future generations of carnival barkers & the like”, but it’s a very similar spelling, so that’s on me.
Why exactly are people moving to the cesspool?
I get that people hate snow but hurricanes are less fun. While not bleak, the job market seems mid at best, perhaps even volatile.

Cheap land, conservative values, and low taxes: the siren call for ancient fixed income retirees everywhere.
Heh. “Values”. 🤢
Thank you for pointing out my missing quotes! I also mistyped “land” instead of “land that will be useless to future generations”. 🫠
