Mine is Texas, and the cost of living in most of the blue states is keeping me from relocating.
I understand. But it does not feel like a choice of mine anymore. It is a matter of my basic safety and well-being now. I've been wanting to move to the Northeast since my teens, but now it is happening out of necessity.
I do not see being anything but low class for the rest of my life after this move, but it is what it is. What you realize (and many people I know who have moved from OK to blue states have stated) is that you get what you pay for. A state like Oklahoma is cheap to live in for a reason.
Thankfully for me, I have my parents who are going to help me with this move and are planning to sell the house to move up with me. They hate Oklahoma and its nonsense just as much as I do.

The Oklahoma law is especially horrible because it punishes the person getting the abortion, rather than the person performing it.
And factor in the GOP's "law and order" stance and the fact that law enforcement in red states is practically domestic terrorism and it's the nightmare every woman living in those states is about to realize.
It's straight-up cruelty. The big government has no place in our uterus. I'm so furious watching this nonsense. The law says there are "exceptions", but who decides whether those exceptions count? The government.
Gov BullStitt said in his recent address to the state "get the government out of the way" and yet he's using big government on us women and LGBT people. It's a bad joke, and I ain't laughing.
