My daughter attends a small, conservative Christian church in St Paul.
They have small community groups that have gotten together . There are three married couples and a handful of single people in her group.
All three married couples are moving out of state.
Has metro abandonment started?

Minnesota is giving a congressional seat to Arizona after this year. I think Illinois is also giving them one. |

We sell real estate and my wife has sold 2 homes to people leaving the metro for good, and they are not retired. One of our friends received a letter in the mail asking to sell their townhome on the lake and the person said they were sick of the cities, and would buy it at a fair price.

I think in the short run yes but hard to say in the long run. I want to move out but at my age many people want to move to a quieter location. Still, if you are young and on a career path the cities offers opportunities you can't find out-state.
Politics have made the cities frustrating to live with but it will be interesting to see what happens with the upcoming election. If the democrats win easily yes could see exits increase but if the pendulum swings the other way you may see the flights are temporary.
No doubt about it if the current trend continues you will see an exodus of producers leaving the state.

As far as moving out of high taxed states that will accelerate I think...New York, NJ,Illinois, California & Minnesota are already losing high earners to Florida, AZ, Nevada, Texas, even some to South Dakota.

One couple is moving to South Dakota. I wonder if they figure their homes in that part of St Paul have about peaked in value. |

Lots of high tax payers are moving from metro areas and high tax states. My hood in OZ has a large number of folks that are sick of the high taxes of where they came from. I am now an OZ resident and do not pay MN income taxes anymore.. No regrets.
