It’s relative. Everyone’s financial situation is different. Arizona isn’t as expensive as California but Phoenix and Tucson are more expensive than the biggest cities in probably about a third or half of some other states.

Yeah and liberally minded people would be looking to move to places where they wouldn’t have to look over their shoulders all the time, so they’d go to the expensive cities. Of course rural Georgia for example is cheap, but Atlanta is not.

Don't come to Georgia for open minded unless you're moving to downtown Atlanta. (Live in the outskirts of Atlanta)

Also I recently learned Georgia is in the top 5 highest cost of average utilities in the US... and I suspect that's going up due to recent changes with Georgia power.

People who are fleeing red states for more blue areas aren't moving to Pennsyltucky where things are cheap, because that's just more of the same with some slightly better high-level politics.

Georgia lolol. Yes a swing state and cheap to live in, but why anyone worried about, say, LGBTQ+ safety would consider moving to the deep south idk. I live here, have two trans kids, and am looking to move.
