I get that "voting with your feet" is complicated because there's a complex web of social and economic factors factoring into a decision to relocate, and red states have managed to successfully paint themselves as attractive places to live due to the cheap costs of housing and low taxes (successfully obscuring that this comes at the expense of amenities and social services), but how can this be sustainable? Why would someone move to a place that is literally putting out the unwelcome mat? Why does Idaho have one of the highest population growth rates in the country?
