But the Carolinas has something CT does not have. It has some places ( suburbs of charlotte) that are booming with good jobs and new construction, places which offer a high quality of life with a very low price tag. Not every place is like that in the Carolinas. But some are. CT has exactly zero such places.

Most places that young families are fleeing to ( good jobs, great schools, super low taxes) are in conservative states. I wouldn’t want to throw a dart at a map if NC and raise my kids wherever it landed. But there are places there that are far superior, i. terms of bang for the buck, than anything CT has to offer.

You can’t make that wrong, you just can’t. Here in CT our population is shrinking, only a few states can claim shrinking population and were one of them.
