many places in the hot states ( TN, NC, SC, NH, FL) can’t put up $650,000 homes fast enough. you don’t think people buying those homes, care about schools and healthcare?
You’re clinging to the old liberal notion that sky high taxes are good, because younger what you pay for. Americans are realizing what bullsh*t that is.
I’m not saying WV and KY are better than the CT suburbs. But there are specific places in red states, where you can get a very similar quality of life compared to what you’d get in CT, for way less cost.
I’ve listed cities in NH ( Bow , Bedford, Hollis, Brookline, Amherst), some of the best schools
in the state. Zero state income tax, zero state sales tax. My brother moved to Franklin TN years ago, very low taxes, zero decrease in quality of life
You’re problem is, you think every square inch of all red states, is fried twinkies and trailer parks and meth labs. It’s simply not true, Americans are realizing it, and the exodus has begun.
No one cares that you don’t happen to like it.

that headline exists only in your psychosis. In the real world, productive citizens are fleeing blue states for red states, and it will get worse. In the next 15 years CT will be staring at impossible pension and healthcare benefits it can’t come close to paying. Massive tax hikes are coming, which will
exacerbate the exodus. Same thing coming in NJ and IL.
It’s elementary school arithmetic. It’s not complicated.

here ya go Petie, this tool
let’s you look at national rankings of high schools. from US News and World report.
I live in a middle class Hartford suburb called southington. it’s a nice, very typical CT suburb. i pay all the usual CT taxes. the public high school is ranked 3,418th in the nation.
We looked at moving once, to Hollis NH. zero state income tax, zero state sales tax. Massive savings over CT. and the public high school
is ranked 1,119th in the nation. Much better.
I’m not saying every town in NH is great. What i’m saying, is that there are specific towns in red states ( and only in red states) that have a much better value proposition than comparable towns in blue states. there are beautiful places to live in CT. But they’re all insanely expensive., so they’re not all
a great value.
There’s no denying that.
what am i getting for all the taxes i pay in CT, that i wouldn’t get in a beautiful suburb in NH, TN, or NC?

You want to move to a state that has more liberals than CT and claim it’s because it’s nominally red?
In the last Presidential election, Hillsborough county flipped moderately Democratic, 52.8% to 45.2%.

do you ever answer a question?
i’d move to a state to put more than $1,000 more in my pocket every single month. to change my kids’ lives.
NH isn’t more liberal than CT. are you saying it is? seriously?
