And now you have Democratic cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York allowing rampant migration, crime and retail theft to continue which affects everything from business to Real Estate, to every day life.

(Around 3 million immigrants for the 1.5 million new homes in 2021 (legal population + 2.5mil)) assuming none of those 1.5mil were on lots that had houses before, none burned down or were condemned.I guess you could hunt around dying markets looking to buy where people are escaping the weather, the taxes or the government, migrating towards jobs, weather and a better way of life.

You would benefit from doing some of your own research on migration patterns, job growth, where big companies are moving, taxes, regulations, etc.

I read an article recently about the migration of people being a big thing in VT especially, but I am sure Maine is seeing growth as well.

Over the last 6-7 years, Austin has posted consistent job growth (3-4% TTM job growth is some of the best in the nation), outstanding population in-migration (I've read something like 150 people a day are moving to Austin), good civic leadership, a very aggressive economic development corporation here which is actively recruiting companies here (see the RECA site and Opportunity Austin 3.0 for more details via the Austin Chamber of Commerce), and some excellent structural advantages (i.e. flagship UT 50,000 + students, temperate climate, relatively low cost of living, music culture, etc.).  

For years people have been migrating away from the city.

I do bank with WF for somethings but have since migrated away. 

People are migrating away and those buildings can sit for years as the growth is not there.Most of store closures these days for retailers are clothing stores, furniture,etc.Things that are not daily needs tend to not do as well.With anything find the asset class you like and then seek out experts in those  to get answers to your questions.I started out with multifamily so also know that space.

The city net migrated around 38,000 people last year...that's 105 people a day!

And it's for that reason that my family and I plan to migrate to another area of the U.S. within the next few months.
