Texas, Florida Gain as Young Adults’ Relocations Reshape Political Geography
24th August 2021
The choices by Vyas and other members of the millennial generation of where to live have reshaped the country’s political geography over the past decade. They’ve left New York and California and settled in places less likely to be settings for TV sitcoms about 20-something urbanites, including Denver, Houston and Orlando, Florida. Drawn by jobs and overlooked cultural amenities, they’ve helped add new craft breweries, condominiums and liberal voters to these once more-conservative places.
Note the assumption that young people are liberal voters, as if that were a law of nature.
