We have new neighbors, one a family from Iowa and another from Texas. I call them refugees,

They love it here in NYS.

My cousin’s moved from Boston to Austin about 15 years ago to be close to their grandkids - who, of course, are now college age and older, and don’t live there anymore. They hate it there, but are in their 80’s and not moving again.They were just thankful their D congressperson wasn’t gerrymandered out the last time. No idea what was done to their district in latest redistricting move.
