Comment on YSK that if U.S. housing and U.S population projections hold, the Electoral College will shift further away from Democrats after the 2030 census.

Yep, most of the people leaving those blue states are leaving due to high cost of living and going to cheaper states. The HCOL means they’re likely from metropolitan areas, meaning they’re likely democrat voters. Very few of them are going to rural areas, they’re going to cities in the cheaper states. This will have a bigger impact on presidential elections than congress, due to gerrymandered maps. It might be enough to flip these states as they’re all-or-nothing states.
