The blue-state exodus gains momentum | TheHill

One can even see that dynamic occurring in Texas. For a decade or so, liberals have been predicting (not to mention hoping) that Texas s growing Hispanic population would turn the state from deep red to purple and perhaps even blue.

But there is another factor: Texas has become one of the primary destinations for disaffected Californians, as more and more California businesses have concluded it s time to go where they will be appreciated.

In addition, many California families have decided to migrate to Texas simply to find more affordable housing, lower taxes and streets that aren t rife with homeless people, feces and used drug paraphernalia. And Texas even has a 367-mile-long coast!

But we cannot overstate the significance of the Census Bureau s top-line finding: Texas will gain two or three congressional seats after 2020, while California will likely lose one.

That s a big deal for California, which has never lost a congressional seat. It is a tacit repudiation of California s over-the-top taxes and policies. Some of the other blue states, such as New York and Illinois, have been bleeding people for years.

But Texas is so flat and hot. There’s still Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona, however.
