I haven't heard about you moving to Texas. So are you not
part of the "smart ones"?



I wouldn't know from smart but ten years ago Joerg could
make that case easily.

Texas and California are no longer the extreme examples:

I wasn't really doubting the direction of migration. I was just noting that
the guy who claimed the smart ones are moving was not among those moving.


Smart people look at the big picture. Moving is a major hassle whether
it's 100 miles or 6000 miles. I have done both.

If I'd be in the prime of my earning years I'd be long gone, probably in
Southern Utah. Now that I am gradually retiring many of the leftist
roadblocks no longer apply to us. So why would we give up a nice group
of neighbors, friends, church congregation, mountain bike trails and so
forth if the downsides of living in a leftist state have become less
influential on us? That's what smart people think through before making
such a decision.
