People are moving south in general for warmer winters. And “the south” is cheap comparatively. But it is cheap because large swaths are economically depressed.
We know who moved there, so can we wall it off now?
Lots of folks are moving south. Yjey live up north where the decent jobs are until they can afford to retire where the cost of living is far lower.
That's what we did. Gas, groceries, everything is cheaper here. We went from 1.5 acres in Northern Illinois to 160 acres in Southwest Virginia. Our property tax dropped from $12,000 per year to just over $1000.
Is this who you're talking about?
The majority of Black Americans live in the South.
Yes. That's who I was talking about. Black people. You figured it out.
I mean, my auntie did move from CA to fuckin Alabama of all places last year. We're a black family. And they want me to visit?? Fuck outta here, lol. I mean, it's Alabama. The first thing I think of is lynch mob and the second thing is cousin fucker. I'm not visiting no damn Alabama.
