Which unpopular policies? I have seen nothing but crazy growth in my Texas customers. I don’t have any directly in New York but I have many financial customers who have moved out of New York because of all the taxation. I travel often and Chicago is not what it used to be. I blame COVID for that. That was a cool city until COVID wrecked it.
Oregon Coast is nice. Go look at home prices and see how much they have jumped. That is the COVID effect.

Chicago was falling apart before covid. I have a bunch of family that we visit all the time. My aunt and uncle moved to North Carolina shortly after getting robbed at gunpoint before covid. Rahmbo started turning it into a warzone by getting rid of Cabrini–Green and sprinkling low income housing into every neighborhood.

I felt pretty safe in Chicago before COVID. Well except after Jussie got attacked. That happened about a block from me when I was walking home from a night out. That was unsettling to think MAGA people would jump someone in the middle of Chicago. Other than that, my life was very peaceful and quiet. I enjoyed Chicago immensely. I can’t even stomach going back now because of how sad it’s become. The last few times, it didn’t feel as safe. Less cops, more thugs, and the city was a lot dirtier. Lots of the stores and places I used to go were shut down and boarded up.
