				 | paul there are beautiful suburbs in NH ( Hollis, Brookline, Bedford, Amherst, Bow) where they can’t build $600,000 
 Their mostly residents who work in mass ! corrections officers have doing for years .. I know many who it just like I know many who live in RI and work in Mass prisons better pay and benefits then Ri.  We call these border towns  mass settlements  and mass residents have drove the mile to also buy cigarettes and booze in NH
 
 But no one is moving to NH for jobs. That’s the Truth

 |  show me the data please, which says most people in all those areas work in Mass. Because you made it up.
 
Liberty Mutual has TONS of jobs  in NH.  Tons of data science and white collar jobs. You just make chit up. 
 
And now, most white collar jobs can be done at home. People can work and live anywhere, which will 
lead to many more people 
leaving blue states for red states. It’s just beginning.

 |  Which proves my point.  That the opportunities are much much better for the educated in the blues states.  If you wanted to succeed you needed to be in the blue states which taxed their residents and used the $ for schools/infrastructure, etc.  That was reflected in the much much higher GDP per capita.  Tech (WFH) may help the red states somewhat but they still will have a lot of shortcomings due to not having the $ to improve things (although the richer blue cites/counties will be better off than the red counties). |

Tell that to everyone working in Atlanta and Charlotte NC.  
 
Paul, there are places in red states where I'd NEVER want to live.  But there are also places in red states that are very cheap and have a high quality of life.  There are exactly zero places in blue states (that I know of) which are very cheap and offer a good quality of life for normal families.
 
Can you name one nice suburb in a liberal state, which has super low taxes and yet offers a high quality of life?  Places like Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Dallas, etc???  I don't know of one single such place.  Can you name any?
 
Historically, large companies had reasons to locate in big cities, which tend to be liberal.  Nowadays, people and companies are making different choices. |

 |  You're asking about the liberal cities?  They have some of the highest quality of life in the red states.  NC is equally divided 1/3 R, D and Ind.  The legislature is gerrymandered to be red. 
 
You keep naming liberal cities and using those as examples of places with high quality of life but are unable to show red states that lead the country in the "good" (like Pete and I have) categories other than low taxes. |

 |  for the third time.  please list some places to live in blue states, which offer a high quality of life with very low taxes. 
 
I can name many places in red states that fit that exact description.  Can you name any places in any blue states that fit that description?
 
Seems like you’re doing everything you can to avoid answering. Gee, I wonder why?
