Sure just give them a six figure Bay Area tech job so they can afford to move.

  Portland doesn't cost nearly as much to live in as the Bay Area. And you do realize there's other places in the country to live, right? There's tons of moderately-progressive cities across the nation that don't cost that much. Austin is a pretty good example.

    The point being that moving is expensive in general. I recently moved back to Portland from the Bay Area for a decent paying tech job, and it still cost me an arm and a leg. A lower cost of living doesn't mean that it's cheap to move. Also people need to learn to live with minorites and give them rights. Applying radical Wilsonian determination to the US sounds very libertarian.

      No, it'll be free to move. Did you miss the part about a tax credit that I proposed? As for living with minorities, there's only so much you can legislate, and if you push too much, you get a big backlash and the next thing you know, Republicans control both houses of Congress, state legislatures, and Ted Cruz is President. There's a lot of things people need to do. They need to abandon hip-hop music and religion too, and they also need to build a Moon base, and they really need to build me a giant mansion in Hawaii. I'm going to be waiting around a long time for people to do all these things I think they need to do.... >Applying radical Wilsonian determination to the US sounds very libertarian. And trying to marginalize people you don't agree with sounds very authoritarian.
