Exurban Escape

You know Your Survival Guy understands when you want to move to where you and your money are treated best. Who wants to be taken advantage of by politicians funding their radical agendas with your money? The Wall Street Journal has run the numbers, and the “exurbs” are where Americans are moving, especially those in states where business is treated well. Texas, New Hampshire, North Carolina, these are the places Americans and their money are moving to get away from the problems in the big blue blob cities. The Journal explains:

The future of American cities is in the exurbs.

The latest Census Bureau data show that some of the fastest-growing cities are often sitting in the distant orbit of a larger city and centered on booming master-planned communities.

Take Fulshear, Texas, an affluent community about 35 miles west of downtown Houston. By mid-2025 it had an estimated 64,630 people, the Census Bureau said Thursday, rocketing up from around 17,000 in 2020. No other American city with more than 50,000 people has grown faster in that span.
