Much of the US is falling apart! Population migration patterns: US cities Americans are abandoning

Also check out the 50 worst cities in the US, a lot of surprises. And then think of the many not even on the list. I wonder how many voted for tRump, falling for all of his endless lies so he could enrich himself and his cohorts.

Who are being pushed out by astronomical cost of living.

Never dreamed I'd be moving to Texas but the fact that I can pay $695 for a modest 2/1 detached house with full fenced yard versus $1400 for 2/1 duplex with postage stamp sized yard is a pretty good incentive.

Learning that the investors who just bought the place plan on jacking the rent up to $1950 when we renew our lease sealed the deal.

Denver is a wonderful city and our families are here but we were simply priced out.
