Where do you think they pack the meat? Where would they be most scared to answer the census? But that would misunderstand and oversimplify the dynamics of intrastate politics where they tend to live, and more particularly, where government services are made available once enacted. So sort of where they have to live, since, well. Lol, you get it. It's not like they're the right sort of person. But they are useful. So long as they aren't too underfoot in the gleaming beacons. That starts costing money.
Population increases are in red states. Now that's largely self-sabotage in blue states, because they aren't building housing. And so no one could move there if they wanted to.
