California just lost electoral seats.  Texas did too.  But local politicians no longer have an incentive to pull them into their states.  That was one part of the osmotic pressure for them to infiltrate the border / establish sanctuary cities and states. Now we need to get rid of the Fed that causes house over-valuation, that causes unneeded housing construction, which also contributes to that osmotic pressure for move-ins. That 2006 housing boom.  Who do you think moved into those?  We did.  But we left our older houses behind and who do you think moved into them?  Some neighborhoods turned from stark white to straight brown in the course of a few years, just because of some low interest rates.
