So, there is a lot of information on this. I mentioned some of it in another thread, but suffice it to say that it isn't all about taxes. It also isn't about fleeing liberal policies. There is more available housing in these places because they are building than in places like New York and California. The housing shortages in those states drive up costs. With the pandemic and more jobs going remote, it has allowed people to get out of the cities while maintaining the jobs they have always enjoyed. They get a NYC salary while living in BFE.
This does have some potential drawbacks down the road as we see a reconfiguration around the country. Overall, though, it isn't the taxes driving people away, but a broader cost of living situation that is tied to many different things.
