Pretty interesting map to play with. Looks like the Pacific Northwest and the North Carolina are worth closer looks...

Pretty neat. It was fun seeing my guesses of where the idiots that keep moving here come from be right

I guess I can be classified as one of those idiots, cause I migrated from Connecticut to Georgia. :) It was getting tough to survive on my pay up there. Plus, having to go out of state to drag race was total BS. My company gave me cash to relocate (and paid for some tattoos :P) and I must say, other than the humidity and slow drivers, I love it. It helps that I'm making more, too.

So are the ones that moved to Colorado the 'I'm going to pretend I'm rich and going to bitch about everything, from cars to the enviroment, to make up for the fact that I have no friends' Cali yuppies? Whatever you do, DON'T feed them after midnight! The whole state will be overrun overnight!

No, more like the rich, hippy, socialist bozos that seem to think that they need to force their ideals on everone else

Florida was a great move for me. but its only good if you come in with a well paying job. because the jobs down here are horrible.

plus there is no state tax, and its warm all the time.

housing market crashed here, so its easy to find cheap houses.

I'll deal with my snow happily as long as I don't have to deal with hurricane season.
