I'd go South if the politics start to blue-up. I figure if this trend holds as the article says, by the time I'm ready to retire there will have been two censuses. I care about social justice, local produce, and warm weather. The south has 2 out of 3.

- 8ytecoder 5y agoIf everything goes as planned with global warming, we may have 3/3 here in the north as well (at least some of us). Where I live it’s noticeably warmer, winters milder and summers longer just in the ten years I’ve been here.

- silisili 5y agoSouthern CA has all of that, why not just move there?
- jwolfe 5y agoDo you care about being around social justice or bringing about social justice? If the former, sure, move to a blue area. If the latter, wouldn't moving to a purple area be more impactful?
- SavantIdiot 5y agoI ask myself that every day. Should I be the change? Or should I wait for someone else to do it? I don't have the guts to jump headfirst into a deep red area: I already get harassed for driving a truck with an obama sticker when i go off-roading in the red counties 5 hours from where i live. But I am interested in moving to one of the isolated purpler cities in the south. I'm hoping there's a "diffusion area" where it is safe to be liberal, but still having a net effect of changing a demographic.
- refurb 5y agoI find it ironic that where you want to go needs to be "more blue" because where you're currently living isn't that great (but is blue).
- brewdad 5y agoIn my case, I am white but my wife is foreign born naturalized citizen with brown skin. There is no way I am going to ask her to move some place where she has to constantly be looking over her shoulder because the locals can't handle the fact that she looks different. Sure TN is cheap but not at the cost of our mental health.
- refurb 5y agoWasn’t there a string of anti-Asian attacks in the Bay Area? Not sure what you think your avoiding by not going to TN.
- telotortium 5y agoOkay, then, don't move to the rural areas. As a child of Republicans and a recent visitor to Nashville suburbs, where my parents have moved, I assure you that no one in the bedroom suburbs of major southern cities cares about someone with "dark skin" (they don't hate black people either, but I'm guessing she's South Asian, or you would have said black).
- refurb 5y agoA friend of my brother is South Asian and grew up in Mobile, AL in the 1990's. Said he had zero issues with race and more racial diversity in his neighborhood than where he lives now in Silicon Valley.
- selimthegrim 5y agoI know two South Asian women from Mobile and one of them had pretty big racial issues in HS.
