BEFORE this announcement, there was a 10:1 out migration from Seattle according to statistics derived from U-Haul rentals and real estate listings and sales. People are leaving in droves from Seattle and New York City.

Boeing has been trying to move to South Carolina for several years now. South Carolina has been successful in wooing major manufacturing operations to its state. On one hand, states like Washington are complacent in valuing major employers. But on the other hand, big corporations like Amazon and Google ask for the world in terms of tax breaks as a bribe to move a facility to a city or state and the payoff just does not make economic sense. Years ago, Woodman's wanted to move out of Omaha. They wanted an incredible sweetheart deal. The city did not blink and Woodman's did not move. It was simply a greedy ask.

Lol.While Civil unrest is definitely one of the reasons some are moving from the cities, there are other reasons too. an article from the Hill mentions that 2 million people have moved back into their parent's home due to losing a job or economic uncertainty.

777X is going to be Big for Boeing... Moving 787 to Charleston has been in the works for a long time and that's a really nice facility. By moving 787 and shutting down the 747 this opens up the Everett building to basically double 777X production as well as increase 767 platforms for the military. Also, Everett is quite a ways North of Seattle proper, I'm not saying they don't have the issues you see in the news but it's less than you might think...
Portland is about to elect an actual antifa supporter as mayor.
Sarah Iannarone has a skirt with the image of Chairman Mao on it. Anyone who knows even a little about history knows that Chairman Mao was responsible for about 50 million deaths. You can't make this stuff upPortland is about to elect an actual antifa supporter as mayor.
The obsession with demonizing the right is ridiculous from ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/NPR/PBS/TWITTER/FACEBOOK/GOOGLE/THE CATHOLIC CHURCH/ISLAM/JUDAISM/HOLLYWOOD/ALMOST EVERY SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY/EVERY FORTUNE 500 COMPANY/etc etc etc
It’s exactly what those idiots are doing. They move from New York to Florida and vote for the same idiots they voted for in New York. Now Florida is a toss-up state. Idiots in California are moving to Texas and they vote for the liberal assholes in Texas. They are messing up the good states.They'll move to sane areas and vote for the same insane policies that destroyed the city they left.
to be fair, with the exception of tx and N, most of the states that contribute more to federal govt than take, year to year, are blue states. yes, the likes of ca, ny, nj, ma, mn, & il, are among the ones that get hosed the worst. not always, but usually (most everybody was on the tit from like ‘08-‘10). in general, the southeast US is killing us. they, like sc, can afford corporate giveaways, they dont pay for it.Here's something that is pure evil.
The Dems bankrupt their own states, then shake down the American taxpayer for a crash they engineered with their plandemic lockdowns.
I'm glad DJT backed out of the most recent crimulus package. NOT ONE MORE DIME FOR THE EXTORTIONISTS WHO REFUSE TO OPEN UP THEIR ECONOMY!!
The obsession with demonizing the left is ridiculous on this board.
The transplants bring their lib ideals with them. Only to flee what they voted into office and infect conservative states.
Just googled her.....that is the mother ship of all Karens and LiberalsSarah Iannarone has a skirt with the image of Chairman Mao on it. Anyone who knows even a little about history knows that Chairman Mao was responsible for about 50 million deaths. You can't make this stuff up
Last time I drove through Oregon it was. Washington lets you pump your own gas. But that state is equally as liberal. Although it's not so much the entire state. The rural areas seem OK...it's the Seattle's and Portland's that are down the tubes.Haven't been to the Pacific Northwest in years, is it still against the law to pump your own gas out there?
As usual you're missing the forest for the trees. You're linking everything to protests and riots. What about covid? Has it occurred to you that both NYC and Seattle are expensive in the extreme, and that working from home during covid, especially for those who don't necessarily have to be in an office, has been an eye-opening experience for some? People who were stuck in their tiny homes and apartments realized "why in the hell am I paying this much to live in a crowded, dirty city?" Housing prices in those places is obscene. In fact, housing prices in many popular destination cities is off the charts ridiculous. But who knows what the larger trend is here? More than likely this is going to make the communities those former city dwellers move to become more expensive.BEFORE this announcement, there was a 10:1 out migration from Seattle according to statistics derived from U-Haul rentals and real estate listings and sales.

No. The out migration started before the riots and protests. Riots and protests only accelerated it to some degree. Some people are fed up with the drugs, crime and homeless camps. They're fed up with the incompetence of their local governments. Keep promoting the utopia comrade.As usual you're missing the forest for the trees. You're linking everything to protests and riots.

They fear the boycotts and public shaming. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition was famous for shaking down corporations. It amounted to nothing more than extortion. Al Sharpton and now the progressives continue the process. It's just a cost of doing business. It's kind of like a small town business getting hit up by every charitable cause under the sun. You just write a check to make them go away and not hurt anybody's feelings.What I find I interesting about all of this is that many major companies align themselves with politicians and movements hellbent on destruction, a sort of lawlessness with no real direction other than some vague 'redistribution'.
Maybe it's because they are trying to pander to younger demographics hoping they will gain longterm marketshare with them.
If I am them, I would refuse to declare war on a large chunk of consumers. I would funnel energy and resources into fighting hunger, developing better housing and job training.
I'm not promoting utopia in the least. Allow me to explain my perspective. There has been a shift in the last couple of decades which has accelerated the concentration of wealth in several US cities, including Seattle, Austin, NYC, Chicago, San Francisco and the list goes on. It's obscene. Ironically, those cities espouse values of equality, while ignoring the poverty and urban decay on the street outside their million dollar apartments. I'm not blind to the hypocrisy, because it's glaring. But the trend is also complicated. Is it all just the lack of affordable housing? Is it greed? What are the exact policies contributing to this? I understand a little, but I don't think the answers or solutions are simple.No. The out migration started before the riots and protests. Riots and protests only accelerated it to some degree.

This is certainly true, how the real percentages break out in terms of reasons for leaving is anyone's guess. I live in a "destination city" that people from these areas and CA are flocking to to excape their hell of their states/large cities. Home prices here have risen 22% this year, often paying cash, sight-unseen. Local salaries can't support this for the natives and locals.As usual you're missing the forest for the trees.

I was recently living in a destination city. We did a bit of shopping around for homes, and the competition was infreakingsane. You'd get 10 to 15 people paying way over the asking price, agreeing to waive inspections and cut corners, paying in cash all to land the house. It's a mess. And to your last point, about salaries, I always ask the same. There just can't be enough people with salaries high enough to justify these prices.This is certainly true, how the real percentages break out in terms of reasons for leaving is anyone's guess.

I wanted to get in this last thought on the matter. I found a property in a part of the city that was rapidly being transformed, but still needed some work. Lot's of homeless. A fair measure of crime, but lots of bars and restaurants, aka the cool factor. The owner was asking for $700,000. Clearly it was a teardown, which means you'd have to add the cost of building a home. I could buy an acreage with a nice home in a less "cool" area for a fraction of the price. I just don't get it, and nobody can explain it to me in a way that makes sense.I was recently living in a destination city.

That's actually happening quite a bit in Omaha, mostly in homes under $300,000. I've seen upwards of 15 to 20 offers on homes in Millard under 1500 square feet several times in the last 6 months. With the cost of new construction, a starter home thst used to be $100,000 to $125,000 now is over 180 and that's nothing special. Very basic and bland.I was recently living in a destination city.
