    The housing in red states is affordable because no one wants to live there. The housing in blue states is more expensive because everyone wants to live there. Blues states are more liveable because of blue politics.

      Then why are there more people in red states?

      ACK!

        Because two "red" states frequently flip flop: Ohio and Florida.

          Blue states gain people because they move in, Red states gain people because they got born there.

          That said, if conservatives don't want urbanization and subsequent anti-friendly values from occuring, they ought to be having fewer kids, not more.

            Even in the large red states, most of the population are in "blue area," i.e. these supposedly family-unfriendly urban centers.

              Then explain to me how the state of Utah, which is the epitome of a red state has such a large population increase from people coming from California.

                  I don't agree with what that guy has to say about immigration, but the other stuff he says makes a lot of sense.

                  There are a lot of places in the red states with a very high standard of living -- a lot higher than in the blue states. Most of these places are rather bland and "rough hewed", though.

                  Perfect places to raise families.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                    Me neither. I thought the article as a whole was pretty thought-provoking, though.

                        But suburbs trend Republican, so urban centers with more room for expansion (like those in many red states) tend to go for the GOP. Didn't you two read the piece?

                          I did, and I think the author has a strong point, especially with the expansion of suburbs.

                          I also think it'll result in a moderating influence on the party, since these people generally won't be wacko fundies...

                            Don't get your hopes up.

                              I'd bet you'll only find a higher concentration of atheists and agnostics among academia.
