For twenty-somethings leaving a small town for the big city, the feeling of liberation and possibility can be exhilarating. Mom and dad, and their rules, are finally in the rearview mirror.

Many millennials are discovering this the hard way and making a U-turn. New Census Bureau data shows millennials are increasingly trading in urban life for the suburbs and even switching states entirely.

We all are, Democrats are incompetent bumbling idiots
All coming to a so called Suburb near you ! Where there are even fewer jobs.
We are not all Democrats or bumbling idiots.

Fewer jobs - more welfare. I made the plunge and moved to Florida. Great weather year around - alot more money in my pocket now that I am not putting it in the State of MD's pocket.
A smart person learns from their mistakes, a wise one from the mistakes of others, an idiot learns nothing at all.
