Just 9.8% of Americans moved between 2018 and 2019, per housing data out Wednesday — the lowest percentage since the Census Bureau started keeping track of statistics in 1948, the New York Times first reported.
Why it matters: The data indicates the United States population is "aging, and older people are much less likely to move than younger people. But even younger people are moving less than before," the Times notes.
By the numbers: About 29% of people aged 20 to 24 years old moved between 2005 and 2006. That number is about 20% today, William Frey, a senior demographer at the Brookings Institution told the Times.
The big picture: "When factories would close, workers would move to other parts of the country to find jobs in new ones," the Times writes. "Young people flocked to cities and rapidly growing suburbs, where jobs were plentiful and rent was cheap."
Driving the news: A combination of low-wage jobs and rising rent prices in large cities have contributed to the housing stagnation, the Times notes.
People that have roommates well into their 30's don't have money to move cities? :ohhh
I think it just illustrates that there is more parity of opportunity (or lack of opportunity, if you view it cynically) in the US than ever before.Texas is pretty popping these days. Tons of movement there. Lots of liberals moving there and probably enacting the same idiotic policies that led blue states to become ridiculously expensive in the first place! Already happening in Austin.
In the 50's and 60's, the South was a shithole and the easiest way of improving your economic lot was to move north. Then as the north declined, opportunity for growth was greatest in the West (or Texas) in the 70's. Then in the 90's, parts of the deep south began to catch up with the rest of the country.
I want to leave the US and hang out with cool, weird, fringe-y ex-pats. What are my options? Where are the cool ex-pat communities that will let me take my white privilege international?Medellin, Colombia.
Oh come on, TVC: Rman just gave you your dream area: Work for the cartels, flay people alive like you want to do.
Yeah, what are the best hard reset options a single guy has these days? Maybe become a ship hand?You get paid shit since many boats are chartered in countries with a low minimum wage. And you work like a dog.

Got offered 7 figured (across 2 years) to move and work in Dubai once.
Was pretty tempting.
But I hate sand.

"I’m 30 years older then my little go go girl. I have feelings for her. I lived in Bkk for almost 5 years. She gives me good sex and I think she also enjoys it. She’s totally honest I think in many ways. She like her “work” and most customers she enjoy having sex with. She even say she have orgasm with more than 20%. She say she prefer white middle aged white males. If she like the customer and “feel good” and he have a big dick – 19 to 23 cm – she comes more easily (I’m smaller). Totally honest but maybe rare. I helped her with some money before to finish her house but now I don’t pay her nothing anymore. Just pay for dinner and she Sleeping over 3-4 times a week."
"Coming to Thailand since ’91… Back then i was a handsome young bloke (27 yo). Lived at Bang Saphaan and Thap Sakae. Banged 25+ local girls (not hookers) but never comitted to one. Am 53 yo old now and 13 years together with farang woman (aged 41). She gave me great sex as well as intellectual input. I could never stay any longer than 1 shot (ie. 3 minutes) with a Thai girl. Their bodies are heaven (at least 15% of them; the rest is obese these days or unfit), and they do whatever u ask them (licking asshole kha? no porrrrbpleeeeem kha) but fucking is sooooooooooo 90s. i love my femaled educated and critical. thàt turns me on. not some petite thai whore :-)"
"Visited Thailand in 1995 as a 21 year old, felt embrassesed back home being with LBFMPBR ( beautiful girls )
I got involved with a westerner. 14 years later that hoare has cost me half a million dollars. 12.5 million baht. Stole my 11 year old daughter. Still going through Court.
As a male nurse after separation l have listened to many dying soles. My understanding is!
Life is all about company and sex. Being honest to yourself. fuck the rest, if they care they will not care.
It is what is Is.
At 42, my dollar will be converted to baht at least once or twice a year till I die for Quality and Quantity to fuck LBFMPBR over unsatisfing limited contact with expensive white trash, sorry mum, bad luck dad! love you both.
LBFMPBR loony is coming back…"
