Multiple people injured, including one officer, after mass shooting outside Arkansas grocery store: reportsAmerica’s Republican-leaning red states are winning at drawing in new residents from blue states—but locals don’t like it one bit.
In California, for example, residents home shopping out-of-state were most commonly checking out listings in Florida with 10.56% of online views, according to an analysis of Realtor.com® data. Texas was close behind, at 7.60%, followed by Arizona with 6.89%. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Nevada—which earned 6.53% views—saw an influx of migration from the state. Listings in Tennessee also racked up viewers from the blue state .
In addition to that, red states tend to offer lower taxes and fewer regulations, adds Mike Rhoads, owner of Wild North Home Offers in North Carolina. So while these blue newcomers might not swing elections in their favor, that doesn’t mean red-state locals are OK with their new neighbors. He notes that two of the most popular states with the blue state migrants, Florida and Texas, are not swing states. Trump
