People moving from NY to FL. That ain't news. And pot-smoking in the


streets? Oh no!

I'm not sure you can draw any conclusions about why people move, but I suspect that a lot of it is related to COST. We moved from Seattle to the suburb of Sammamish in 1991 because we could afford a bigger house. We left the suburbs to come to Tacoma in 2019 because we prefer a city and because Tacoma is more affordable housing wise than Seattle (that is changing quickly).

Seattle apparently did shrink households in 2020. But it isn't like people left the area. The top 10 destinations were within 35 miles! And Seattle was the #1 destination for people moving from San Francisco. (See article) What does it all mean? Who knows right now? But people migrating in the US is hardly a new thing either.
