The two biggest blue states, California and New York, have high cost of living because they don't build enough. People have moved to Colorado, despite it becoming a solid blue state with rainbow flags, and Arizona and Georgia which each have two Democratic senators.

I'm more inclined toward the tight geographic focus of good jobs.

Sure, they could drop another 10 million homes even further from Manhattan / Silicon Valley.

Not good news for the USA

The US has lost its last perfect credit rating, as influential ratings firm Moody's expressed concern over the government's ability to pay back its debt.

In lowering the US rating from 'AAA' to 'Aa1', Moody's noted that successive US administrations had failed to reverse ballooning deficits and interest costs.

A triple-A rating signifies a country's highest possible credit reliability, and indicates it is considered to be in very good financial health with a strong capacity to repay its debts.

Moody's warned in 2023 the US triple-A rating was at risk. Fitch Ratings downgraded the US in 2023 and S&P Global Ratings did so in 2011. Moody's held a perfect credit rating for the US since 1917.

The downgrade "reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns," Moody's said in the statement...
