Expect the trade-offs between living/working in Democratic & Republican states to become more stark in next few years, and high caliber workers are going to increasingly demand the saftey & services of Democratic states.

I lived in Austin for a year, I love Austin, and no one I know in Austin (especially those who moved from Democratic states) was calculating that if a pandemic hit the state government would block the local government from taking simple practical steps to keep themselves safe.
I feel very comfortable doing stuff around my community (in NY) with my family (including 2 unvaccinated small children) because I know the vaccination rates are high, and that people are encouraged to be responsible ...
I feel terrible for those responsible folks in communities with low vaccination rates, and the constant worry that those around them are actually encouraged to be super irresponsible (or blocked from being responsible if they wanted to). It is really messed up.
This irresponsibility now baked into the cost of living a Republican state and it will cost them: 2 years ago I would have encouraged many to take opportunity to live in Austin, Nashville, other awesome cities in Republican states, but now you have to think twice about real costs
