Movin' On Out
- Illinois, New Jersey, and New York were the top states in the nation for outbound moves in 2017, according to data from United Van Lines.
United Van Lines, which tracks state-to-state migration patterns, found that Illinois was the top state for outbound migration with 63 percent of moves going out of state.
"The Northeast continues to experience a moving deficit with New Jersey (63 percent outbound), New York (61 percent) and Connecticut (57 percent) making the list of top outbound states for the third consecutive year," the report states. "Massachusetts (56 percent) also joined the top outbound list this year."
Why would everyone be leaving these mismanaged, corrupt, broke, democrat-run shitholes?

Families are leaving, which accounts for the high numbers, and they are being replaced by incoming, recent-college grads. At least, that's what Baghdad Bob, errr, Adam Collins, Rahm's flunky who migrated from Wisconsin says. Oh, and yeah, Adam is a huge Cub fan, and as Rahm's Baghdad Bob, errr, Minister of Information, he still hasn't been south of Jackson BLVD. Pussy.
Hey, is anyone moving to those countries that were mentioned by the president, to be shithole countries
Looking forward to jumping on that train myself.
If you listen to the Democratic candidates for governor everything must be fine. Not a word about the state debt or the shrinking tax base. Or that there are more people on welfare than working.
Don't worry, Boeing will never, ever move.
Sears is poised to make spectacular rebound after they eliminate a few hundred more Sears and K-Marts!
"Why would everyone be leaving these mismanaged, corrupt, broke, democrat-run shitholes?"
Not everyone is leaving. The freeloaders and those who continue to vote for them aren't going anywhere.
The question is, how long can this house of cards stay up?

I definitely pan on moving and I only have 6.5 years left. It's hard to believe I made it. For anyone who likes it here, each person dose it's own thing. I'm fourth generation born in Chicago. It's not the same place it once was. I hate the politicians ramming everything down our throats and telling us to like it. This isn't an island and we can easily leave when we get tired of the crap. I can't wait too leave. Good luck to the guys and girls starting. A lot new challenges with Police work. For the people who like it here good for you, stay and be happy. It's only going to get worse as people continue to leave. I pan on moving toTN.
They got what they want squeezing everyone. Bike lanes are nice if you can afford them. The same with all the other stuff. Who can keep up with all the rising taxes. I'm pro gun so I will be moving to a pro gun state where they are also pro crime punishment.
San Antonio here I come. 25 and out. I'm sure I can get steak and potatoes there.
The DemocRATS really messed this place up! Corruption, taxing, over regulations, drugs, BS laws, dictatorship, high cost of living, no jobs and very high crime. No it's not Detroit it's Chicago. Don't worry Chicago can't turn into Detroit. It's much smaller geographically. Wait until the only ones left are looking for hand outs or are gang-bangers. We do have the highest gang population in America. Detroit had all of the same issues.
And more to come fuck the city country state vote Republican MAGA
Detroit in a few years
The problem with that is many are taking their indoctrinated democratic ideas to good red states and ruining them.
Well if you pay attention you'll notice quite a few more New York plates running around. Maybe that's why Garry thinks he has a shit
Retired CPD in Oklahoma says.....
I purchased a house, five years old, 4 bedrooms, on 100 acres ....$190k. Taxes $900.00, nearest town 45 min. away any direction. First arrived, few days later I wanted to check CCW with town police before going to the sheriff. Went to the nearest towns police station, with the town hall in the same building . I passed the mayors office, note on the door said he was busy harvesting, call his wife, leave a message or call his cell if need to talk to him direct.
Down the hall at the police department, a older lady greeted me with a big "Hello". Told her I was retired CPD, asked if any problem carrying before getting my OK. CCW/open carry, open carry most of the time out here guys.
She said no problem, but let her call the sheriff to let them know also. She worked days only, no other shifts of police after 4:00 pm ..call sheriff 30-45 minute wait if I ever call them I am told, No not bad service just that far out. But the Sheriff gives me his cell number. Three active cars patrol the entire county.
Farms and mountains out here, people are friendly, kids, teenagers still address you as Sir, very polite, work, and every carries....Everyone. Sure have the shit heads to, once in awhile some dopers, stealing and once in awhile a break in. You read about them in the county paper or hear it in the stores. Local stores still offer credit in store. Small towns USA.
Grew up on the south side 87th Baltimore....1960's 1969 off to Vietnam. Yes, life it great when you retire guys and gals. Not like it use to be. Live thru this job to enjoy your retirement too.
Stay safe...
Stay fetal...
Go home happy....
....Also a big fuck you rahm you little sawed off jag-off Punk!
Have a safe and nice day.
THE LAND OF LEAVING , Illinois losing 1 resident every 4.6 minutes to other states. Thank You Mike Madigan and all the Other Criminals the Feds didn't put in Jail. Now look at what we Have. Detroit Very SOON
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-losing-1-resident-every-4-6-minutes-to-other-states/
A record numbers of homes in MT Greenwood for sale vote Republican MAGA retire CPD
AND THE TAXES KEEP RISING , Forget Your I-PASS Prepare to see your Tolls Double this year , Anyone getting there car Booted will see Fees Double . Rising property tax burdens squeeze Illinois families , Even These Company's Skipping over Illinois, Toyota-Mazda plant heading to Alabama, " WONDER WHY " AND WHERE THE HELL ARE THE FEDS ????
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/moving-company-illinois-tops-list-for-outbound-moves-in-2017/
I had family in Michigan. It doesn't happen overnight. It's just slow and steady. One day you look around and what happened. Once it gets going it's hard to stop. That's the danger.
We are more than halfway there. Most don't even see it coming. When they do it will be a run on the bank.
You just used the s-word!!
The problem is that most of those leaving are not LEOs. These goofs may not want to pay high taxes, but they’re still blue staters and will infect and kill wherever they’re going. They’ve destroyed Virginia, Colorado, and huge swaths of Noth Carolina. I predict assholes from Illinois will ruin Tennessee by 2030.
What state has the most people moving in?
Convert Illinois into a giant section 8 project for the country's poor and lazy.
Can't say shithole. It upsets snowflakes.
And then they ruin the states they move to.
so long as the out migrants leave their
fucking liberal ideology behind.
Maybe people are leaving because tax’s are not high enough,
I don’t blame anyone for leaving Chicago, Cook County and/or Illinois however do those reports delineate exactly who’s leaving? I mean we have the baby boomers which is still the largest section of US population coming into retirement. These people are moving from this
state as well as other big city states up north to warmer climates and lower priced communities. I’m just saying it would be interesting to see exactly who’s leaving.
I heard the governor of Florida complained about all these immigrants from shithole states like IL
Sounds like everyone hates leftists and wants to move away from them. Let's just get rid of them. MAGA!
Mike madigan and his cabal of dummy rats are to blame.
Term Limits.
Q: Why would everyone be leaving these mismanaged, corrupt, broke, democrat-run shitholes?
A: Because they can.
Problem Is: If you plan to retire on a Chicago Police Pension, you will be tied to Chicago. If Chicago, "Goes Detroit" so will your pension. "Blast" Illinois and Chicago, if you will. Yes, all the comments, and observations are true. The "Awful Truth" is; as Chicago goes, so does your pension benefits. "You Can Run,but You Can't Hide"!

This is so very true!
However, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia are trending away faster than Tennessee. And Florida isn't what it used to be with all the northeastern blue state and Puerto Rico influx.
"These goofs may not want to pay high taxes, but they’re still blue staters and will infect and kill wherever they’re going."
I will do no such thing. Husband and self relocated to Wisconsin last November, and among other things I'm happy to be in a place where my (Republican) vote will finally count for something.
Husband and I left NY 10 years ago after having roots there for 5 generations. Result was an immediate pay raise (same salary, much cheaper cost of living), much cheaper insurance, and a much larger and nicer house on a larger piece of land for a fraction of what we were paying for a bungalow on a postage stamp in NY. The people are nicer here in flyover land too, much more down to earth and not nearly so hellbent on keeping up with the Joneses.
I don't miss it one bit, and I'd recommend anyone else do the same. Up anchor and leave the tax and spend liberals high and dry with nothing but a horde of gimmiedats to pander to. It is far past time for those of us who are tax donkeys to stop playing.

Haven't you noticed that all the Dem candidates are running against Trump?
Remember Madigan told Phil Kadner about his 2 greatest achievements:
1) his inexperienced daughter became Attorney General
2) He kept the house in democrat majority.
40 years in congress and this is all he did (besides enriching himself). Now you know why people are leaving Illinois.
I have a question? Rahm says he is putting 1,000 additional officers on the street this year. How many have we lost and retired thou?

You are half right about who’s leaving, but also blacks are leaving in record numbers to get away from the city and a better life
Friends,
I retired and left a shithole 4-years ago. Best choice I've ever made. If you don't already have a place picked out I suggest you do your homework now. Some important things to consider are; quality health care, taxes, English as a native language (unless you move to Costa Rica), and proximity to an airport.
There are other factors like golf, hiking/biking, fishing/hunting, among many others but if you have the above covered everything else is fairly easy.
Word of advice; look now, buy now! Real estate prices in these retirement locations are going up fast due to all of the smart folks hauling ass out of the shithole states.
PS: You'll be amazed how much more cash you'll have at the end of the month in tax savings alone. The quality of life is priceless though.
Stay safe out there...
Smart taxpayers leaving, being replaced by illegal welfare cases. Here comes a tax and other fee hikes. Someone has to pay for all the freeloaders. Guess Illinois will not so the work for Medicaid benefits. Would be fun to see some of the generational welfare slugs have to get a job. Would be a real benefit to unemployment, will take two other workers to keep the one welfare" worker "working. Pep dream because Illinois would never expect someone to work for their benefits, goes against everything the Democrats stand for.
Time for a wall around entire state. No democrats allowed to escape to greener pastures. Got to keep that democratic virus contained.

THIS!
White-Guilt Liberal Progressives fleeing the messes
they helped make and taking their "Stinkin' Thinkin'"
with them to ruin the new place they fled to.
The Commie-Fornia assholes have ruined
Colorado to the point that the northern
counties of the state are agitating for
secession from the liberal California
loons shitting the bed in Denver and Boulder.
Liberals are wrecking cities in Texas.
Liberals are even trying to establish
a toe-hold in Salt Lake City Utah for cryin' out loud.
Such is their "Metropolitan" bent...
Amusingly, they seem to be leaving Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming and the rest of Utah and the
Dakotas alone.
Progressive Center Left/Democrat=Decay
Most of those jagoffs bring the same democratic vote with them. They are too stupid to realize the democrats destroyed the state they just left. They Just keep on destroying more states.
Are you ready for a state income tax raise of 46%? That light at end of tunnel in another massive tax and fee increase. Parking fines about to double and water rates another 27.5%, garbage collection fees 7.00 increase. On top of that real estate taxes are being looked again. Money needed for Obama library now that underground parking is mandated. Taxpayers leaving so those left expected to pony up.
Fuck Illinois, I’m moving to Baltimore
Four out of the five states are in the top ten as far as tax burden. Why am I not surprised.
Leaving for opportunity to keep a bit more of what they earn and not made to share any wealth.
Chicago is the densest populated city with the fewest accounted censused citizens, yet most tallied voters going to the polls. Maybe LA too.
The voter numbers never add up (registered vs. votes counted) and nobody ever challenges voter fraud unless there’s a close race. Anyone who leaves the City, County, State doesn’t necessarily relinquish their Voter Registration Status. There’s is no automatic voter inactivity purge. Basically it’s up to the voter to notify the Election Bd. to remove them, who does that ?
Think all poling places are legitimate and don’t fill in the blank no-shows?
Mexico has a National Voter picture ID that shows the voters City and state. No card - No Vote.
Rahm has money for Sanctuary City picture ID cards but no Voter Registration picture ID.
So in reality, nobody ever leaves Chicago Cook County. Check out any time, but you never leave.
(Example: kids moved out of state 4 years ago, still get Board of Elections registration card in Chicago)
Whether registering inmates at County or undocumented, nobody cross references or checks names/addresses.
They alter the Ward boundaries based on population, all those former factory sites are being rezoned for mixed residential.
It’s called Colonization and done by indirect eminent domain through excessive taxation and regulation, forcing big business to leave the state. Democrats are paying entitlements darn near close to unskilled wage.
Future Democtarts don’t grow on trees, they’re imported.
Many are hybrid socialists waiting for the second coming of Bernie.
Probably the biggest problem for the old DNC.
Long time immigrants are getting fed up with the lack of employment, schools and soon, less entitlements.
I think there’s a slim chance the DNC City Master Plan will collapse just by over supply and over demand.
Provided we keep continue Making America Great Again.
Something the Democrats won’t admit its working and is the only way to keep those entitlements flowing.
Democrats and shitholes seem to go hand in hand, but don't say "shithole" if you don't vote democrat, you'll be attacked by the media and snowflakes! Hahaha!

I should have been gone seven years ago, question is, gone where?
So what's shakin @ Zumiez's????
Collins said things are getting worse. "There have been knives, there have been girls spitting on us, there have been men throwing drinks at us, taking my female sales associates and throwing them into tables," she said.
She's recorded 28 incidents in just the past 60 days.
State Street that Great Street ..............
Retired and living in Virginia,
I just retired and moved 30 minutes west of DC in a beautiful community. Watched my Jeff park neighborhood decline over the past 20 years and was subject to disgustingly corrupt CPD bosses. I will always love my hometown but the cancer of corruption, city and statewide, got to be too much. Living a much better life now in a second career with a great future ahead of me. Keep your head up and when you get a chance to make the move out, take it. Wishing you all the very best, stay safe!

To the Officer who has 6.5 years left, unfortunately you haven't "Made" it yet. That's a very long time in this corrupt Demorat run shithole city and ass backwards department. Keep your nose clean and hang on! I truly hope you make it unscathed! God bless.

My New Years Resolution? To get out of Illinois as fast as possible. Actively looking for a new job and housing out of this State. Tired of the overburdening taxes, rules, fees, regulations, coddling of the criminals and layabouts. Sick of dealing with libtards and their inane beliefs.
Several generations of family came up in this State, and what's left here is all moving out. Some friends are gone in March. I hope to be gone by June or July at the latest.
Will the last person left turn out the lights?
This place stinks. They reported 55 million tourists came last year. That's a million a week. Maybe on connecting flights at The airports. More fake news. Next time make it a billion. Screw these ass wipes.
Unfortunately, most of these people leaving IL are bringing their shitty politics with them. Just like Colorado with all the California ex-pats infesting the state.
Hey not a cop but has anybody looked at their gas bill lately? Over 8% tax for the city? Add your cable and Internet plus cell and landlines and Netflix CE over 50.00 a month just for fees and taxes. Lease is up next march. Need a year to pack but gone to lake County Antioch exactly. Last on out let the gas leak and throw a match.
Amusingly, they seem to be leaving Idaho,
Montana, Wyoming and the rest of Utah and the

Funny, because these are the exact states on my list of places I'd like to move. I'm going to SD in October for a conference and I may never come back...
I hate traveling through the south with Illinois plates. It’s so embarrassing. If people ask where I’m from, I tell them Mt. Prospect. Sounds like Mt. Pilot.
Never admit you’re from Chicago. It’s a strike against you in normal places.

Not exactly. All Detroit pensioners took a cut including police and fire. Their cola was cut in half.
http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/wayne-county/2015/02/27/detroit-retirees-pension-cuts-become-reality/24156301/
Detroit owned their art museum which is how the pensions were saved.
Planning a trip to Utah this summer. Just me, my motorcycle, tent and sleeping bag. It's great to be retired.

We don't need no shitholes in Chicago, We are one... And most shithole Countries are safer.
