Liberal Cities are bleeding citizens to Red States

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.

Only until those companies can sell that job to someone who will do it cheaper.  That is the problem of many of the remote able positions, there are also many people with those same skill sets who may be willing to do it for less.
