Post Beryl: Taking Stock

Why are people considering leaving town?

• ⁠Climate/geography

• ⁠Republican austerity/ deregulation

• ⁠Rapid population growth

• ⁠Inadequate infrastructure improvements and maintenance

• ⁠roads in horrible condition

• ⁠climate change

• ⁠high property taxes and rising insurance rates

• ⁠insufficient public transit and maniacal drivers

• ⁠crime, including rampant gun crime and road rage

• ⁠feckless police force

• ⁠aesthetically abysmal

  • Mosquitoes, roaches and other pestilence 
  •  No sense of history and tearing down old buildings 

• ⁠corrupt local governments

• ⁠corporate oriented local leadership

  • rapacious medical center

The pot is boiling and finally we frogs 🐸 wanna jump out
