False.

These are the fastest growing regions of the country. Texas and Florida are going to take several West Coast electoral votes if trends continue.

False.

They’re growing now because people can’t afford the west coast anymore.

That doesn't change the fact that people literally want to live there vs the west coast

It means people literally don't want to live there, but choose to because the west coast is too expensive.

It's not that they don't want to live in the west coast. It is that they can't. Again, NIMBYs, rising rent, supply and demand etc etc.
