Americans are fleeing blue states such as New York and California for southern and southeastern states, especially Texas and Florida, according to a new study.
As violent crime surges in liberal metropolitan areas like Los Angeles and New York City, residents are migrating south to red areas, according to a new report by North American Van Lines (NAVL).
&#8220;Despite the 2020 pandemic, this year Americans are following similar moving trends as prior years. Millions of Americans are moving either to start a new job or to move home,&#8221; the Indiana-based moving and trucking company said in its 2020 Migration <a href="https://avlnavlblob.blob.core.windows.net/northamerican-com/docs/default-source/default-document-library/key-takeaways---2020-migration-report.pdf?sfvrsn=3b1554ef_0">Report</a>. The company offers long distance and local moving services as well as storage services.
The report found that Californians who have opted to leave are largely moving south to Texas or north to Idaho.

Among states experiencing a large exodus of residents, New York, in particular New York City, saw the most people leave. The next cities people are leaving are three California cities, Anaheim, San Diego, and Riverside, as well as Chicago.
In addition to New Yorkers, dwellers of three states in particular, New Jersey, Maryland, and California are fleeing to southern and southeastern states. Residents of Pennsylvania and Michigan are also fleeing, but this is a continuation of a trend from previous years since both states have frequently ranked in the top 10 for outbound moves. Illinois also remains in the top 10 for outbound moves as violence in Chicago spikes compared to this time last year.
Meanwhile, the most popular destinations for movers are Idaho, Arizona, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Colorado. Last year, Tennessee became more popular than South Carolina, compared to the 2019 results.
The city most popular as a moving destination is now Phoenix, followed by Houston in second place, then Dallas, Atlanta, and Denver.
&#8220;With Texas’ warm climate and low taxes it&#8217;s not surprising that three of the top ten MSA [Metropolitan Statistical Area] destinations are in Texas,&#8221; the report said.
The exodus of residents from blue states comes as violent crime surges in the very major metropolitan areas where movements to <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/11/4/21549019/measure-j-police-abolition-defund-reform-black-lives-matter-protest-2020-election-george-floyd">defund the police</a> have taken root. Conservatives have <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/blue-state-exodus-could-flip-the-political-map-upside-down-turning-red-states-purple">expressed concern</a> that an influx of people from areas that vote Democrat could end up turning red states purple, despite the crime wave in blue areas being the result of Democrat policies.
In New York City, shootings increased 73% to 173 in May compared to only 100 in May 2020, <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/news/pr0603/nypd-citywide-crime-statistics-may-2021">according</a> to the NYPD. Crime was up in the city 22% in May compared to the same time last year.
Chicago has <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-chicago-homicides-data-tracker-htmlstory.html">seen</a> 289 homicides this year, 16 more than last year, including over a string of deadly weekends recently. Over the past two weekends, nine people were killed and nearly 100 others were injured by gun violence in the city.
Meanwhile in Los Angeles, murders have shot up 22% over the same period last year, with 141 murders in the city so far this year. In 2021, 600 people have been shot, an increase of 59% compared to this point last year.
“When we look at the underlying influences of that street violence &#8230; those involved with gangs continues to be the highest area of concentration,” LAPD Chief Michel Moore told the LA Police Commission last week.

Two anti-police rioters who participated in a Black Lives Matter protest-turned-riot last summer are expected to be hit with prison sentences of about two years for their participation in the city destruction, including setting fire to two vehicles belonging to the city and state.
Rioters MacKenzie Drechsler and Shakell Sanks admitted on Monday to &#8220;their roles in the events that unfolded after a George Floyd/Black Lives Matter rally and march devolved into chaos outside of the Public Safety Building on Exchange Boulevard&#8221; in Rochester, New York, <a href="https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2021/06/08/rochester-may-30-riot-george-floyd-cars-fire-plea-deal/7607487002/">according</a> to the Democrat &amp; Chronicle.
One of the destroyed vehicles, a Ford Focus, belonged to the city of Rochester&#8217;s Family Crisis Intervention Team and was marked as such. The other vehicle belonged to the New York state attorney general&#8217;s Office.
In addition to arson, Drechsler admitted to looting and committing property damage throughout the city, the D&amp;C noted.
The criminals&#8217; are expected to be hit with about two-year sentences, though the judge can lower or add to the 24-33 month prison sentence range: &#8220;Dreschler&#8217;s sentencing range is 24 to 30 months,&#8221; the D&amp;C report said. &#8220;But a federal judge is not beholden to the agreement and can sentence her to a prison term shorter or longer than the plea agreement. Sanks agreed to a term in prison of 27 to 33 months.&#8221;
Their sentences will be handed down in August.
The D&amp;C reported on the riot and Drechsler and Sanks&#8217; participation:
<blockquote>
Events on May 30 &#8220;turned violent and resulted in vandalism, damaged property, looting, and fires,&#8221; prosecutors said. According to the plea agreements, &#8220;A &#8216;riot&#8217; means a public disturbance involving an act or acts of violence by one or more persons &#8230; which shall constitute a clear and present danger&#8221; to property or people.
At 6 p.m., Sanks, Dreschler and others lit pieces of fabric on fire and placed them into the gas tank of a car parked across the street from the Public Safety Building. The Ford Focus belonged to the city of Rochester&#8217;s Family Crisis Intervention Team and was marked with city logos and city license plates. Twenty minutes after the vehicle was lit on fire, it was a total loss.
Dreschler also set a vehicle belonging to the state Attorney General&#8217;s Office on fire. She placed flaming cardboard inside the 2009 Chevrolet Impala and walked away, prosecutors said. That vehicle was also a total loss.
&#8220;Following her actions in the burning of the two cars, Drechsler also participated in breaking glass during looting that took place,&#8221; prosecutors said. She admitted to taking part in looting and property damage throughout the city.
</blockquote>
Dreschler is being held without bail since she&#8217;s considered &#8220;a danger to the community based on her conduct during the violent protests,&#8221; said a press release from U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr.
“Rioting, the setting of fires, and the destruction of property, however, are not constitutionally protected activities,&#8221; the press release added. &#8220;They are crimes. The proceedings before Judge Larimer should serve as a reminder to those who commit crimes that when you do so you may ultimately forfeit your most precious constitutional right — your right to liberty.”
The rioting in Rochester last May was not an isolated incident. In September, the city was again <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-far-left-black-lives-matter-storms-rochester-people-climb-on-homes-trash-businesses">destroyed</a> by Black Lives Matter and anti-police rioters protesting the death of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-prude-police-body-cam-footage-autopsy-released">Daniel Prude</a>.
Last March, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Prude, a black male, interacted with officers from the Rochester Police Department (RPD) after at least two people called 911 about Prude’s behavior and welfare, included Prude’s own brother, Joe Prude.
Police reports indicate Prude was restrained by officers while waiting for the ambulance the cops summoned — video suggests this was done soon after Prude told officers, “Give me your gun, I need it.”
As <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/09/03/daniel-prudes-autopsy-report-says-excited-delirium-a-controversial-diagnosis-contributed-to-his-death/#50fed9951784">noted</a> by Forbes, Prude “had been taken to the local hospital for suicidal thoughts about eight hours before his encounter with police on March 22.”
As cops were physically restraining the man for about two minutes, body camera footage and media reports suggest the 41-year-old threw up and lost consciousness. He was reportedly resuscitated on the way to the hospital but likely suffered severe brain damage and was pulled from life support about a week later by his family.
Crime and murder rates have exploded in the city. Subsequently, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-mayors-home-raided-in-connection-to-major-drug-bust-husband-hit-with-gun-drug-charges">embattled Democratic Mayor Lovely Warren</a> has proposed a <a href="https://13wham.com/news/local/rochester-police-mayor-lovely-warren-city-budget-staffing-crime-violence">$4.5 million cut</a> to the city&#8217;s police department.
