Here is a story that of course completely makes Jim’s claim of people moving to red states are solely political and Jim please don’t say you never suggested that “ yup. just like them. how come everyone wants to move to red states?”

When the truth is How’s the internet services seems to be the number 1 concern of people looking to move into what’s considered rural community

Americans are moving to rural areas in ever-increasing numbers, reflecting their increased desire to seek out more space, embrace entrepreneurial opportunities, and take advantage of a lower cost of living. Politics was last on the list

DECIDING FACTORS
However, one factor, internet service, would be the deciding factor for 67% of those who responded to the Paulsen and Audience Audit survey.

Ultimately, many Americans would consider making a move if there had a reliable internet connection. This is one of the biggest issues that some folks have with the rural migration. If there is no service, then many people will not be able to keep their jobs and work from home


Among the top reasons that survey respondents said that they moved to a rural area include:

More land or space around home
Fewer people
More home for less money
Safe environment with clean air and water
Lower cost of living
No traffic
Different culture
Living in a place with different political affiliation
