Louisiana
Its Cajun cuisine and Mardi Gras celebration might attract tourists from all over the world, but this has not stopped folks in Louisiana from seeking a better life somewhere else. At 4.9 percent, unemployment is becoming a big issue. It does not help that census data showed that one in five people lives below the poverty line. We are not surprised to hear that over 70 percent of people move away for work. Delani Lass took to Quora to say that the weather is also fairly awful in southern Louisiana. They said, “It is horribly hot in the summer. (100 degrees with 100% humidity). Summer lasts from April until September/October. It gets cold once a week for two whole days; then it warms back up.”

Massachusetts
Massachusetts locals indeed have plenty of things to take pride in. However, this is not enough to keep people there with the rising affordability costs. People have to pay a lot of money to live there. In fact, MERIC ranked it sixth out of 52 places for the cost of living. On Reddit, UebuNogami said that housing is a big problem: “There’s not enough housing to satisfy the demand. Unions make construction extremely expensive, and a requirement for the developer to give away a certain number of units for next to nothing makes building anything but luxury housing unprofitable.”
