Are cold climates becoming less populated

I’m the opposite of most people I’ve met: I grew up in Georgia and want to move north. It seems like the northerners, especially the retirees, are moving south.

Despite growing up in the south I hate the heat. I always look forward to the period from November-March.

I visited family in Minnesota and I loved it! Despite being August the nights were cool. The latest I visited was October and there was a light dusting of snow.

But everyone seems to be leaving the large cities of the north: Chicago, New York, and Seattle all seem dying.

I’m moving north before it becomes too crowded here.

Is It Normal?

    • I cannot disagree with you there. I love the cold, not super cold, but snowy, however I find my chronic pain gets worse.

  • The midwest is stable as usual. All cities are shrinking... as people move to smaller cities. It's cheaper as it turns out.

    Welcome to the midwest! "Where you decided to forgo your dreams in exchange for affordable living"

    • Usually those dreams are unrealistic and unattainable like be a millionaire TikTok influencer
