Why?

There are a lot of reasons.

The rise of fascism is the most immediate reason, but even if all the fascists and Christian nationalists were raptured this afternoon, we’d still be leaving. This country loves guns and grift and hates everyone who isn’t a rich cishet straight white man. Health insurance alone is enough of a reason; we’ll be paying about as much for rent on a four bedroom house two blocks from the beach as we’re paying for health insurance here.

Besides, the world’s a big place, full of wonders. We’re gonna go find some.
