I agree and I've said it many times in this thread already. He hates the South but doesn't know anything about it. He looks at statistics nothing else I'm born and mostly lived in Nashville but I love Knoxville and East Tennessee. If it wasn't for family I would have moved closer to the mountains a long time ago. I went to Tennessee tech University. and spent a lot of time going to Knoxville & the mountains on the weekend. My best friend and her family moved just outside of Kingsport. It's just beautiful and peaceful. Itt would be a great place to raise a family

I agree with y’all. I’m from Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Knoxville resident popping in to say it's great here

Same. I love East Tennessee. It’s. Great place to live

I've been in east TN all my life. I've visited a lot of states and nothing beats coming home and seeing the smoky mountains. I can't imagine living anywhere else.

And generally safer.

I agree. In fact, I didn't really like this video. The video maker's picks aren't particularly accurate or forthcoming. Some cities are a bit more violent than others -- but most are safe. There are some large cities that are very safe too. I live in Palo Alto, California. It's the heart of the Silicon Valley and the birthplace of major tech companies. Yet, it still feels like a small town. In California, cities like San Francisco to San Jose (the entire peninsula) are pretty safe -- even though crime has gone up because of changes in laws. Still, coastal cities like Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, Monterey/Carmel and Eureka are better. You can even buy affordable houses in places like McCloud, California (on the edge of Mt. Shasta) or South Lake Tahoe. Tennessee cities like Chattanooga, Knoxville and even Nashville are fantastic (although I prefer the suburbs outside the cities). I was raised in Virginia Beach. It was always a great city to grow up in and, more recently, I completed my college internships near it. I love cities in Texas like Corpus Christi, Waco, San Marcos and New Braunfels. They are safe, clean, inexpensive and offer plenty of activities.

​@@ccchhhrrriiisss100 I feel like a lot of the "violent" cities are simply cities that have specific areas that are violent. doubly so for whole _states_ that are "violent" because of things that take place in certain cities which only take up a small proportion of the land area.

Agreed! I now for the past 3 years have been living in a small town in Oklahoma and find it way cheaper than the large cities I have lived in.👍

​ @philipmcniel4908 - Good point. Really, it is the "rate" of crime or violence that people should consider. NY City used to be extremely violent. However, after Rudy Giuliani was elected, he passed sweeping reforms. Suddenly, NYC had a lower crime rate than many much smaller towns. Still, even the most violent cities in America aren't really THAT violent. They just have a higher rate of violence. Crime rates are usually measured by a rate of violence using the number of reported crimes per 100,000 residents. However, what these stats don't say are that many single incidents have multiple counts of violence. For instance, if someone is breaking into a car, damages the vehicle's window and encounters the owner, pushes him down and flees, flees from police and resists arrest, that one encounter might include five or six separate incidents of violence. Those are figured into the overall rate as independent instances (despite being one overall event by one suspect). I read somewhere that the shoplifting in New York City was very high -- but that there were less than 1,800 individuals committed much more massive numbers of shoplifting incidents. In fact, a third of ALL shoplifting incidents in NYC -- accounting for most store thefts -- were committed by just 327 people (according to the NY Times in April 2023). According to the Times, those 327 individuals had been arrested more than 6,000 times. The same is true of violence. Most violence -- apart from "crimes of passion" involving domestic issues -- happen at the hands of relatively small number of arrested individuals. Even the nefarious gun crime statistics are skewed by the fact that they happen primarily by the same individuals in the same relative areas -- by suspects who aren't legal owners of firearms (e.g., felons, gangs, stolen weapons, etc.). Like you said, most US cities are safe when you account for crimes primarily taking place in the same, less-safe areas and mostly by the same individuals in those areas.

It's probably all the taxes you pay,and the cost of living there is high.

I've lived in California all my life. And currently in Los Angeles. I do know some people that have left, but I personally haven't been affected to that point. I still love living here

​@@chueyp6794Ironic, several dead leftists made such proclamations just before being brutally murdered by the crime they facilitate 🤔. I'm guessing you're one of the abusers? Someone who preys on innocent people?

that was the whole point of the video though.

@@crispychubs I didn't think it was. Just the states people were moving to. Not ones they're staying in.

Yeah funny how he didn't mention the vast amount of commie socialists living in Vermont.

They are staying because they can't afford to move

Yes, the title was extraordinarily misleading, it should’ve been titled “ratio of inbound to outbound moves” (which no one actually cares about). What people would assume from the title is that it’s a ranking of actual (net) numbers of where everyone is moving to. Let’s say 400,000 people in the US changed states. I want to know which states they moved to, ranked 1-10. This video is NOT that, which is of course no fault of the NZ family.

Howdy neighbor. My wife and I moved to Knoxville from Maryland, and have no regrets 3 years in!!

You picked a great state, what made you move? Work, retirement, etc?

@@karenmorrisette5027 a combination of things; less expensive, things are closer, more opportunities for my wife to get her photography business off the ground, better climate, firearms laws, less traffic hassles. Bigger house on more land for way less money was a big reason, too!

I live ole smokey moonshine comp.

I'm also a neighbor, although I'm and hour away, technically...

We visited WV from New England a few years ago and loved it. Harper’s Ferry and surrounding areas were amazing.

Just learned this from Tim Pool (who moved his entire operation to WV) that the JD song was actually about Maryland.. HAHAHA.

Indeed, my reasons were the first 2 you mentioned. My 2500 mile life change started in Oregon and is now in Kentucky, where I plan to be until I'm set free from this life on Earth.

Well said.

I think it's a great aspect of this country and the times we live in right now people don't take advantage of. It can be hard to leave family but the world is so much smaller now. Like minded people building communities

Yup..especially political. And we wanna move to be around OUR own. If u know what I mean. Don't wanna be canceled now lol. Its just NORMAL to be like that. No matter how much the crooked govt tries to force people to be around us. We want quite..safe neighborhoods.

Makes sense since the majority of these states are Republican (Red states). A lot of people are tired of the ideals and violence of the left.

He's always negative when it comes to a lot of southern states

He's a lot negative about the south. I've watched many of his videos he has something about the south maybe somebody hurt his feelings once upon a time I don't know. He's just a westcoaster and I don't think he's ever even visited the South I'd be surprised. You know those West coasters, they all think they're better than anybody else.😊

@@tamaramcfarland8677 Ohhhh! That explains it!

South Carolina is lovely! My husband I travelled through parts of the state last year and loved it! The guy making these videos about various parts of the country is so biased. Mississippi and Louisiana have some nice places, just like every other state. I wish The New Zealand Family found someone less self-absorbed to get their info. from.

Hiya, neighbor! Anderson resident here. Greenville is a great place, as we know. It's obvious he hasn't visited the upstate, at least not in the last 15 years, or he would understand why so many people are flocking to places like Greenville and even Hendersonville. Anyone who's visited Pretty Place or Caesar's Head would never want to leave.

Florida here☺️so jealous, my husband won't move, but I'm working on it !

@@heathermcteer9581 I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏼 Best decision we ever made!!

Florida lifer, I’d love to move north. This has been the HOTTEST I’ve ever experienced in 47 years. 🥵 I’d love an actual AUTUMN season!

You’re not alone Scotty, find your passion and you will find million of same thinking people. Then you’ll be looking for space to be alone. Sending prayers

It's called facebook and muslims. Facebook moved to texas from calahphorkneeah to turn texas blue. Muslims successfully made a government building into their church, which is illegal in all 50 states. Good luck with your death rate both politically and humanly.

Definitely move out of New Zealand.

I moved here from AZ after being there for 10 years after fleeing CA. Idaho is full ... come visit and go back home.

California is terrible and expensive.

We moved to North Idaho about 7-8 years ago from Portland, OR, just in the nick of time before it got really bad.

​@@chrisinidaho4569 That's pretty unfriendly.

@@tonilharmon The Boise area is too full. The roads are packed as are the schools and housing has skyrocketed and the kids of the locals can't afford to live here. Enjoy your stay...but don't stay.

Recommend against moving to Mass but visiting - best place in Western Mass - Ct River Valley. Best farmland soil in the US, best produce, exceptional health care, extremely strict carry laws, civil right, diverse food culture, hiking galore & sea coast of New England is gorgeous (Rte 1 in NH)!!

Definitely Rhode Island has been experiencing astronomical increases in Rents. I'm in Newport, and single people and elderly people are being forced out, some of them are veterans who have lived here for over 40 years. Just no one can afford $3,000 a month rent on a single-income or retirement funds

Not sure about the others, but NH and ME have got _very_ expensive for anyone looking to move there. I figure northern/central ME and VT are a lot cheaper since they've never really been high in demand.

​@@emirosem.sc.597the extremely strict carry laws are unconstitutional and being overturned.

​@ArielView absolutely not unconstitutional. They don't I fringe on your right as a law abiding citizen to own a gun. Massachusetts has the least amount of shootings per capita in the country. I hope for stricter laws as there are still too many shootings. Don't say "gay" and the ban ing of books are unconstitutional. Don't have to worry about any of that in Mass. Also is ranked having best schools, colleges, and healthcare consistsntly. You get what you pay for, in Mass we get most of the best of everything. Comes with a higher price tag but well worth it if you can afford it.

As someone who's lived in small towns on the east coast as well as in the midwest, I strongly disagree with this statement.

​@@cp368productions2but the people aren't

@@cp368productions2 buddy, I grew up in Michigan and lived in Wisconsin for 10 years. I have now lived in Rhode Island for 24 or 25 years. People are not at all the same. Maybe you're talkin about New Hampshire or Vermont. But Southern New England is a totally different animal and the people are not at all like the Midwest

Wayyyyy larger

No shit? Howabout 2/1 half the size of little texass.

Glad my Alaska didn’t make the list! Too many big citytards moving up here! Clueless about Alaska!Simple.😳🤪🤣

I have lived in North Carolina most of my life and have seen several small towns being turned into suburbs of a nearby city. Taxes have always been a major factor in people's reason to move.

Military personnel aren’t really counted into things like this because they do not (usually) change their state of residence move to move. We currently live in Washington, DC because my bf is in the army, however, he is still technically a resident of Ohio!

I second that! We farm & ranch down here in Oklahoma, but take our annual vacation (after a hot, busy Harvest Season) in the Creede, South Fork area. We take our 5th Wheel & side by sides/4 wheelers & enjoy the cooler weather & great trout fishing

That mantra you always hear about Arizona (but it's a dry heat) is baloney. 120 degrees is still 120 degrees!

Hopefully, you don't vote like you were in New York

@@davidcosta2244 We’re both Air Force retirees and patriots. I’ll give you one guess. 😂

Good luck with your new knee. When I had a full knee replacement a few years ago, I found that ice was my best friend, take pain pills on schedule and also about an hour before PT, and binge watch things that make you laugh and feel good mentally. You got this!

@@Tam_Eiki thank you. I have been off all pain meds since the second week post surgery. I do take some ibuprofen occasionally, but not often. I graduated from a walker to a cane this week. If I worked a desk job I could be back at work now, but I fix robots and other automation equipment so going to be at least another month before I can get back to doing that. A couple more days and I think I'll be all caught up on the NZ family content.

@@cp368productions2 A 20k house? What kind of bullshit are you peddling here?

It's beautiful. I visited my sister living there. Loved the seafood and waterfront with an old ship you can board and take photos 😊

Without a doubt, people from Maryland are the most heartless, humorless, boring, unfriendly, humorless again, people in the entire country. Baltimore is, at least. HORRIBLE place to live.

Moved from Dorchester county 3 years ago. Loved it, but disliked that you had to drive a ways to get to anything. Really enjoy it here in TN.

Yes, thank you! Also they seem to be buying into the "real America" BS, and I hate that! American cities have just as much character and quirky local aspects as rural places. All of America is Real America.

Well most of NY when it comes to voting votes like NYC. Most of California votes like LA. So yeah. There is a reason why they didn't make the list. Look at the politics of the major cities in those states and compare it to the crime. Also, more specifically for California, why would ANYONE want to move there under the constant threat of seceding from the union of the USA? Most people that make a big move across states think rationally about it and decide if it is worth the risk, as well if it is good for their family.

@@PeterTierno1226 Oh friend. Do a little research.

Everyone I know is trying to get out of Seattle

I've only been to B.C. once. If I was ever going to move this would be a dream location.

Portland is a cesspool just like Seattle. Both cities have completely ruined their states.

lol. You need to expand your horizons.

Man you're right about Idaho. Real nice place, cold snowy winters but Boise isn't exactly a huge town. It's surrounded by brown, beige nothingness. Coeur d'Alene is nice and so are the Sawtooth mts, but the rest of the state is pretty sparse, nice but reminds me of central/eastern Washington.

You're right. I'm in Rhode Island, need a job, but have a 2.65% rate on the house I got about 2 yrs ago. Don't wanna give that up for a maybe somewhere else

You are right about Idaho. It's beautiful, but it's mostly very small farm towns. It's a great place if you like outdoor activities or you're a potato farmer and/or rancher.

No not Salt Lake. Not Utah, we are full. No one should come here, such an awful place. No no no 😂😂😂. I moved here from Oregon over 50 years ago. I love Oregon but it’s really gone down hill. Many western states are not liking Californians who are moving in. They Jack up real estate prices wherever they go. Plus they tend to want to bring the same policies with them that ruined their own state. That is a generalization I know. I know lots of great people from California. Utah is the second driest state in the nation with Nevada being the first. We really are getting to the point where we can’t provide for a much larger population. Water is a big issue. I hate seeing our farmland being built into subdivisions, apartments, and condos.

@@ramonasmith5893 People in Utah bitching about people moving from California is frigging hilarious. I'm guessing the Mormon population isn't down with typical Californian values.

It rains 9 months of the year there, too.

Hello from Chattanooga, Tennessee.

I think the *response* to Covid in certain states had a substantial effect. For some, it was the last straw and motivation to get them to move

Yes, texas and now even OKLAHOMA are where movies are being made!!! A casting call was just put out in our small college town for actors!!! "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Twister"

@@OkiePeg411 part of the town I live in is closed because they are building homes and buildings to be blown away in the movie Twisters.

It's all the redneck cow grazing counties with like 2% of the states population that has this crazy idea that will never happen in a million years.

We are seeing a lot of people coming here to Alabama. Cost of living is damn low, even in Huntsville (one of our biggest and nicest cities).

Hello 👋 from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Chattanooga, Tennessee is my hometown.

"Take note of which states are red and blue...", EXACTLY what I did when I drove 2500 miles to move from Oregon to Kentucky! Absolutely no looking back after purchasing (with ca$h) a gorgeous piece of property and house for 1/10 of what it would've cost in that crazy state! Oregon is beautiful, but only in scenery. I made sure to not tell the narcissistic and borderline P.D. family anything about my freedom-move also! 3 years on, they still have no idea where or how I vanished! 'Murican Freedom, BABY!, at least until the commies finish their takeover of our great country.

The parts of Oregon wanting to join Idaho are heavily conservative with small populations. Idaho being a 'red' state is a draw for them. Never going to happen.

The reason people from Massachusetts are moving to rhode island is because Boston is relatively close. Fall River Massachusetts and Providence have become bedroom communities to people who have high paying jobs in Boston but can't afford rent or housing in the city, so they escape here. They will soon put in a fast Rail between Fall River and Boston, so that will make it even easier for people to commute

Same here. Born and bred in Portland. Travel around a bit and you'll realize it's a very nice place all things considering compared to other parts of the country.

If those counties ever manage to leave the state and join Idaho, I'll consider moving up that way. Unfortunately the whole state is basically run by the commie dumbasses on the coast.

I want to move to Oregon from Minnesota. Are there a lot of jobs available around there?

@@gbecks3672 It's a great state to call home. Yep, there are "help wanted" signs everywhere. The weather is nicer than what everyone lets on.

Yeah the folks in Eastern Oregon aren’t feeling the same love. I grew up there. Fortunately I moved to a state that has the same values as the east sides of the mountains

I have heard good things about St. Cloud as well. Also good things about Wabasha as smaller towns go if one wants to live next to the Mississippi River. Not sure how true either of them are. I have also been curious about Thief River Falls. I used to have family that lived up there, though I think they live closer to Minneapolis now.

Most people underestimate just how cold winter can be. During cold snaps the thermometer might not get up to zero for several days on end. Then add in the wind and it's beyond brutal. Very nice place to be from about May through October though. Winter just drags on soooooooooooooooooo long.

They definitely are not. Agree to disagree. Born and raised here and I can’t wait to get out. I’m in Inver Grove Heights. I love it here, but it’s a very expensive area.

​@@WolfsDEthey used to be, but I have a friend who is about half an hour outside of the Twin Cities, and she only goes in for work. Almost never goes in to the city to do anything social now that her husband is gone. I think they have gone downhill.
