Have you ever moved or would you ever move to be around people with similar political views?

Asked by Demosthenes (14945points) February 20th, 2022

I came across a recent article describing a phenomenon known as “the big sort”, in which Americans are moving to places that better reflect their political views (e.g. conservatives leaving California for Texas, liberal Midwesterners leaving Indiana for Seattle). Red states and regions are getting redder and blue states and regions are getting bluer. It’s hard to imagine that being the primary reason a person moves (seems financial issues would take precedence), but it could certainly be an important factor.

Has political climate been a factor in deciding where you live? Will it be if you move again?

Right now I’m living in Reno, which is a purple city, and perhaps reflects my radical centrist ways. ;)
