People are leaving California and Houston is a popular destination site

 Move Buddah:

...

    From LA to NYC: Take a bite of the apple. In 2024, the most popular metropolitan move route is Los Angeles, CA, to New York, NY.

 

    The 10 most searched routes are leaving California, New York, or Illinois. Of the top NY exits, all head for Sunbelt metros: Miami, LA, Houston, and Tampa.

 

  • Tech workers are trading cities. Silicon Valley is headed to Austin, while Austinites are flocking to Seattle. Seattleites are moving to San Francisco more than anywhere else.

 

  • Per capita rankings spotlight the Myrtle Beach metro. It is not only the most popular metro to move to in the US per capita, but a single outbound route from Myrtle Beach to Hagerstown, MD, is the most popular US moving route per capita.

 

  • Houston metro is #1 by net search volume, with 2.5% more than #2 Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC/SC.

 

  • 5 of the top 10 exit metros are in California. Los Angeles has the highest interest in outbound moves, with 42% more outbound inquiries than runner up San Francisco. Per capita, the prize goes to San Francisco.
    ...
    I have spent time in many of these cities but consider myself a Texan. In recent years I left the Houston metro area after living the the Memorial area and the Clear Lake City area. I now live in the rural area a few miles from College Station where Texas A&M is located. I live on a hill top between the towns of Brenham and Navasota.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
