7:02 am
our democracy. >> texas senators. >> they're quitters. you cannot inject your ideas if you do not show up to do your job. dangerous heat. deadly wildfires. >> strong, gusty winds making it extremely difficult for firefighters. >> all that. >> a hawk. decided to have breakfast. >> i get to the gym. my workout or his snack. >> all that matters. >> he's not missing. one more win as alonzo comes out of a time-out and walks it off. what a finish! alonzo defends his title. the 2021 derby champion on "cbs this morning." last week 42 states saw an increase in covid-19 cases. no. no, america. the pandemic's got to be over. i threw out my sweatpants. i killed my sour dough starter.
7:03 am
i drank all my hand sanitizer. i'm not going back to the damn storage room. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance. >> people are going, yeah, steven. yeah. i know exactly how you feel. >> exactly how he feels. i feel that way every time i look at the pile of my masks. >> i have a whole drawer of them. >> you keep them just in case. >> hopefully we don't have to use them again. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with the battle by firefighters in seven states to bring nearly 50 wildfires under control. the two largest in california and oregon have forced many people out of their homes. we are near the scene of another fast-moving fire threatening areas near yosemite national park. >> reporter: good morning.
7:04 am
at night, the wind dies down, giving firefighters, more than a thousand of them, a little respite. they have been working in temperatures well above 100 degrees, made some progress. with dozens of fires raging throughout the west is a sign that we are on for a dangerous and active fire season. searing heat as it burned near yosemite national park and raced towards homes. >> this fire is picking up fast, wind is changing direction. the crews are trying to stop the flames from jumping over. >> reporter: the fires are forcing people living here to take quick action to save their lives and their livestock. rancher justin we ever is helping move cattle miles out of harm's way. >> we're dealing with the third back-to-back heat wave. what has that been like? >> deadly.
7:05 am
it's friggen hot. especially working outside. >> reporter: this video captured firefighters running for cover at the complex fire as it exploded. >> reporter: the blaze ignited by lightning is the largest fire so far this year. the strong winds continue to whip up the flames. a big concern for bob shoenstein. >> it could ember down into the middle of this town and burn the town to the ground. >> reporter: the fires are erupting as record temperatures have been seen across the west. a trend experts have attributed to climate change. >> unless we as society make drastic changes, it's never going to get cooler. it's hard to take that reality in. that's the truth. >> reporter: to give you an idea of just how ripe conditions are for wildfires in california, 2020, last year, was the worst year for wildfires in this
7:06 am
state. now take the amount of acres that had burnt at this time last year, multiply that by three and that's still less than how many acres have burned so far this year. >> lilia, thank you so much. forecasters predict more rain today around philadelphia where dangerous flash flooding led to dozens of rescues yesterday. first responders with rafts took people and pets out of flooded homes. the national weather service said up to 10 inches of rain fell in only three to four hours. the water got so deep on some roads that drivers left their cars to head to safety. meteorologists say they would expect an event like this to happen in less than a century.
7:07 am
>> there's a new fda warning that the johnson & johnson vaccine might be linked to an increased risk of a rare neurological condition. according to the fda there have been 100 preliminary reports of guillain-barre syndrome in people who received the single shot vaccine. 95 of those cases were in hospitalization. one person died. to put it in context, more than 12 million doses have been administered so far. >> the chance of having this occur is very low and we awareness of the signs and symptoms of rare events. cbs news medical contributor dr. david agus joins us. good morning to you. it's reports like this that freaks people out when they hear stories about the vaccine. put it in context for us. how concerned should people really be about this report? >> good morning, gayle. 12.8 million people have gotten the vaccine and there have been 100 cases unfortunately of guillain-barre syndrome where people with viral symptoms can get these symptoms.
7:08 am
we saw it with the astrazeneca vaccine also and we're seeing it with the j&j vaccine but it is extremely rare and if caught early can be treated and managed. so the key is the system works. the fda put this on the label, people are aware of it, doctors are aware of it. if you have muscle weakness, see your physician, we can treat this early. >> what exactly does it do? i heard you say muscle weakness. what exactly happens to you? >> so you may get an immune response not just against the vaccine, virus or bacteria, but you make it against a protein on your neurons. you can start to get weakness in the muscles and that can progress unless we intervene and block that immune response. we know how to do it. we have the treatments for it. the key is to identify it early. with this warning we will do that. so it is safe to get a vaccine
7:09 am
clearly. you can get guillain-barre with covid-19. we see it much more frequently than with the vaccine. now that we are aware of it with the vaccine, we will intervene. >> so far we keep hearing it's been happening to men over the age of 50. it's very, very rare. this is the second thing about johnson & johnson that has raised people's eyebrows. we heard about possible blood clots. what do you say to people that are hesitant and certainly hesitant about the j&j vaccine? >> we have other vaccines, right? there are the rna vaccines, newer technology, not associated as much with the blood clots or guillain-barre syndrome. the risk of complications from the vaccine is very rare, risk of complications from the disease is very high. we have to be vaccinated. and be aware of complications to treat early, but we have to be
7:10 am
vaccinated. it is one in a million, these complications. >> we should point out too, the reason the variants are going up is because people are not vaccinated. you really do need to get the vaccine. dr. david agus, we thank you. we'll see you again. >> speaking of the variants. the spread of the delta variant across the u.s. is putting new attention and pressure on people who have not been vaccinated. in five states, less than 50% of the eligible population has received at least one shot wondering which one has the least vaccinations? it is mississippi. omar villafranca is in cleveland, mississippi in a region known as the delta. what's going on and what are people doing to fight the spread? >> reporter: good morning. covid hospitalizations have more than doubled since the start of july. to boost the vaccination rates the state is offering free rides to take people to get those shots. at one of the centers we met a woman who is doing her very best to try to coach her community through covid.
7:11 am
16-year-old john eubanks is going to get it. >> football. >> coach key is here to give him a pep talk. >> going to be like a little skeeto bite. >> after he rolls up his sleeve and gets the shot -- >> yeah! what's happening. >> vaccinations. >> denise taylor is the clinic operator in mount bayou, mississippi. she coached women's basketball in the wnba and jackson state university. she's going out in the community to convince her neighbors to get vaccinated. >> i'm going to be counting on you to recruit some more people. >> yes, ma'am. >> what is it like for you when somebody you've talked to for 30 or 45 minutes, then you see them
7:12 am
come and get a vaccine? >> it's like winning the game. >> people are tired of hearing from elected officials and doctors about it. >> yes. >> but they'll hear it from a coach. >> yes. >> reporter: taylor is worried about the delta variant which is responsible for the majority of mississippi's new cases. even with the variant on the rise, enthusiasm is still low. on this trip the community bus only brought in two patients. is that a win? >> absolutely. i mean, if you can get one person to get the vaccination. the win is to bring the numbers up. you told no more than you told yes.
7:13 am
so when i'm told no, i say, i respect that. >> reporter: but you're still going to try. >> i'm going to try. i'm a coach. i don't want to be last in anything. >> reporter: taylor says convincing people to get the shot is about trust and perspective. for 16-year-old john eubanks, it's about him getting ready to go back to school and play high school football. for some it's for loved ones. it has taken more than 700 people to get their shots. >> coach denise taylor doing some great work in the delta, oar. thank you very much. texas is on the front lines of a fierce battle over restrictive voting laws and the confrontation is escalating. dozens of democrats in the state legislature bolted to washington, d.c., yesterday to protest controversial republican efforts to overhaul election laws. they say they'll stay there for weeks. now governor greg abbott is threatening arrests. ed o'keefe was at the d.c. airport when the democratic lawmakers arrived. >> reporter: more than 50 texas house democrats arrived in the washington airport aboard a pair of private jets after fleeing a special session of the texas legislature.
7:14 am
called to address issues, including changes to election laws. >> there is nothing special about this special session. this is a suppression session. we're not going to put up with that. democracy is on the line. the eyes of the nation are on texas. >> reporter: texas democrats killed a similar backed elections day walking out closing minutes of the regular session so governor greg abbott and republicans are trying again. their proposals would eliminate drive through and 24-hour early voting in the houston area. they would expand early voting hours to some medium sized counties. add i.d. requirements to voting by mail and give more powers to partisan pole watchers. >> it's like during a football game or baseball game, taking their equipment when they're way behind and just leaving the field. that is not the way that texas -- texans do things. >> reporter: he said they will face legal consequences. >> once they step back into the state of texas they will be arrested and brought to the
7:15 am
texas capitol and we will be conducting business. >> the constituents that elected you to do a job, be in austin and they see you leaving the state today and they think they're running away from their responsibilities. >> nothing could be further from the truth. we're not going to sit in austin in the house chamber and watch the republican majority steam roll the voting rights of our %. we're fighting back. we're leaving so they can't do that. >> reporter: how long will you be here in washington? >> our intention is to be out of texas until this session is over. >> if he calls another one right away? >> that's our message to congress. we need them to act now. they will keep calling these sessions. >> reporter: voting rights legislation failed to advance in the u.s. senate but bipartisan talks continue. today president biden heads to philadelphia to discuss voting rights. aides say he'll make the moral
7:16 am
case for why restricting the right to vote is a form of repression. the idea that congress would pass voting rights legislation before the start of their august recess could be a tall order. >> ed, thank you very much. we'll be paying attention. turning overseas, there is a new twist into the investigation into the assassination of haiti's president. cbs news has learned a haitian-american arrested in the killing had worked as a confidential informant to the dea. during last week's attack of the president's home, begun men gunmen could be heard announcing themselves as dea agents. the dea says they were not acting on its behalf. mola lenghi is in the capitol of port-au-prince. good morning to you. >> reporter: haiti is on edge as a political vacuum threatens to destieb liez an unsteady nation.
7:17 am
everyone is scared, no one feels safe. outside the u.s. embassy in port-au-prince, a mad rush to leave and immigrate to the u.s. chants of joe biden rang out. most holding passports. we spoke to a mother from miami, desperate to get her 14-year-old to the u.s. her ex-husband was a police officer. killed here in march. you're trying to get your son off the island? >> yes. >> why? >> because of security. i've got only one son. >> we saw the remains of the president's building. you can still see the bullet holes. this is where they had an intense manhunt just down the street from where president moise was shot and killed. less than a mile away, security
7:18 am
forces in camo protected the perimeter. this is as far as we could get. investigators still don't know how the assassins got into the compound and aren't ruling anything out including the possibility of inside help since none of the president's guards were hurt. investigators remain focused on u.s. resident christian sanon. self proclaimed doctor who once filed for bankruptcy and was living in florida. the haitian national police chief said he was in contact with a florida-based security firm called ctu security. he said sanon planned to take over as president himself. most suspects were arrested including two haitian-americans who said they were hired as translators. the doj will investigate and president biden weighs whether to send in u.s. troops. >> haiti's political leaders need to come together for the good of their country.
7:19 am
>> reporter: we see here where he was assassinated security still on guard. we reached out to ctu security, the firm in florida. we have not heard from them. sanon was arrested here. those that knew him well told the press they believe he was duped by the real masterminds of this assassination. >> mola lenghi reporting from haiti. ahead, how england soccer fans are uniting to support three players who were racially abused online. first, it is 7:19. time to check your local

7:32 am
online. >> shame on you. i hope you will crawl back under the rock from which you emerged. alm >> reporter: almost immediately he was accused of hypocrisy. you don't get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labeling our ain't racist message as jester politics and then pretend to be disgusted when what we were campaigning for happens. >> i tonight think they're going to be sitting there not being proud. it's terrible. it needs to change, but ultimately it doesn't stop us as black people moving forward. >> reporter: near manchester a mural was defaced with racist graffiti. it was covered up in tributes to him and is being restored. he said i can take critique of my performance all day long but i will never apologize for who i am and where i came from.

good morning. this morning on our eye on earth series, we look at the effect of climate change on one of italy's most famous tourist destinations. lake como is popular with international visitors, especially americans. wouldn't you love to be here right now? here's the problem. melting glaciers surrounding the lake are threatening the future. chris traveled to see the impact. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. lake como's beauty is famous the world over celebrated by virgil,
7:40 am
leonardo da vinci and george clooney. it can't escape scliem mate change. from its flawless natural wonders to the glamorus hotels of billagio but take a closer look at water level and it's never been this low. this beauty isn't the only thing that's stunning. the fact is, i shouldn't even be able to walk here but this year the water is lower than it's ever been in recorded history. >> in this period we don't have rainfall from the ice melting or snow melting. >> reporter: this geologist says the white gap that marks how much the water has dropped. >> reporter: so more than three feet. >> yes. >> reporter: stretch that across the 56 square miles of lake and you get 4.6 billion gallons that have vanished, enough to cause
7:41 am
dangerous erosion, even rock slides. when the water recedrecedes, th mountain erodes. >> yes. >> reporter: water depletion is killing off the fish. these days the local government has resorted to stocking the lake with fish from nearby farms but it's still a struggle says william cavadini. >> directly from lake como. the fish level is around 50% less than ten years ago. we already lost a small fitsh. it was very famous in the lake como. it was full and now it's disappeared. >> reporter: to understand why the water level was going down you have to climb up. more than 11,000 feet to the glacier that feeds the lake with
7:42 am
runoff. with global warming there's hardly any glacier left. >> initially when i am baby it is very big and now where is the glacier? >> reporter: since the end of the 1800s it's lost 2/3 of its mass. this glacier loses more than 20 feet every year? >> as i said, because my children cannot walk on the glacier like me 40 years ago. it is sad. >> reporter: it's not alone. almost every glacier in the world is melting at record speed threatening the water below. >> the problem start in the mountain, then the lake and then the plain. >> reporter: global. >> everything is global.
7:43 am
>> reporter: keep in mind, this is just one of many lakes in the area facing many challenges as our climate now changes in real time right before our eyes. for "cbs this morning," chris livesay, lake como. >> one of the world's most beautiful places under threat. >> i've been there. the guy who was paddling said, that's where george clooney lives over there. i was very mature and said, hi, george. they were embarrassed. lighten up. guess what, george didn't come to the window. >> how surprising. >> when you think of climate change, you think gradual. 20 feet of the glasher per year. >> you can see it. >> it's really startling. ahead on "cbs this morning," espn commentator stephen a smith apologizes for insensitive comments he made. how smith is now admitting he screwed up. up next we'll bring you the

sometimes paralysis, usually temporary. the fda says only a tiny fraction of the nearly 13 million people who received the shot have reported this illness and johnson & johnson says the chances of having this occur are very low. the federal government says the benefits of vaccinations still outweigh any risk. meanwhile, israel is starting to give a third dose of the pfizer vaccine to at risk adults, some experts reportedly believe this could be the first phase of an experiment to give out booster shots to the most vulnerable. in other news, president biden is expressing support for demonstrators in cuba after thousands of people took to the streets in one of the country's biggest protests in decades. they are angry over the worsening economic crisis on the island. now, this comes as the biden administration reviews its policy toward the communist nation including whether to ease or maintain economic sanctions.

adolescents since the pandemic started. more than a third of those are from teenagers between just 13 and 17 years old. center for discovery which operates 15 adolescent clinics reported more than double the demand for its residential facilities in 2021 compared to 2019. cbs news chief medical associate dr. jon lapook spoke to one of their counselors, elisabethzabe moscoso. she hasn't seen an empty bed there since the pandemic started. >> when you are maybe feeling sad or isolated, it's kind of those moments where it can creep in and so i think that, you know, quarantine has definitely taken a toll on people. >> reporter: dr. jon lapook joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> we heard elizabeth talk about how isolation is contributing to this trend. what else is happening, you
8:16 am
know, especially during the pandemic lieding to this surge? >> this pandemic has been so destabilizing for so many of us, right? but especially for people who have mental illnesses including those with eating disorders. a sense of being out of control right? i mean we can't control covid but you can control -- have the illusion of control of what you're eating. >> until you said it i never thought of that as a mental illness, yeah. how so? >> there's a lot of research into this. it's a combination probably of underlying tendencies like anxiety and deep vein thrombosis, obsessive/compulsive disorder but brain wiring, tremendous area of research into this but it's so important for people to understand that it's something that they can do something about, there's so much stigma with mental illness. that's one reason we want to say, yes, it is a form of it but there's lots to do if you recognize it. >> like? >> early recognition, we
8:17 am
understand, with adolescents, family based therapy where the parents are agents of change and matters if you diagnose this early and that's one of the things that was so interesting. we spoke to therapists and psychiatrists and patients and there was a 16-year-old girl who 100 pounds and five feet and at the age of 14 she suddenly started to lose weight. she went down to 85 pounds. she had a good enough relationship with her mom and said, momma, i think there's something wrong with me and because of that she was able to get into therapy, family -- actually residential then impatient/outpatient and was okay for awhile then you know what hit, the pandemic and that destabilized her. >> we asaw a graphic. what do you look out for here. >> you want to look out for change in your body image. unhealthy relationship with food. looking in the body, this 16-year-old who when the
8:18 am
pandemic hit it happened again and she lost another 15 pounds she said she would look in the mirror and even though she was 85 pounds she would say, oh, i'm fat so unhealthy relationship with food. unhealthy relationship with your body. maybe they're going up to their room to eat their meals and doing sooektive -- she told me she will hide her food then binge and so she was wearing baggy clothes at home. she wasn't with her normal peer group. her parents weren't noticing and they got her into therapy. >> are these new cases, the majority of them or people would struggled with this relapsing? >> i speak to a therapist. he said a combination. in the case of the 16-year-old she had this problem. she relapsed and in the case of a 14-year-old boy who started at 13 to lose weight bullied as a kid, overweight, everybody teased him. well, he lost like 30, 40 pounds and his parents were thinking, great. but then he went too far and the father who was so guilty when i
8:19 am
spoke with him, he said i'm an educated man and i have a graduate degree and why didn't i notice this? guess what, boys and girls can both have eating disorders and i think just the awareness of it is so important and i was very grateful to these families for talking to me and being owe honest. >> you're bringing that awareness, thank you so much. such an important topic. if you or someone you know needs help with an eating disorder you can text or call the national eating disorder association hotline at 1-800-931-2237. the association supports both individuals and families affected by eating disorders. we'll be right back. we'll be right back.

8:23 am
that ohtani would be better as a spokesman for baseball if he learned english. >> if you are a sport trying to ingratiate yourself with the american public because of the problems that you've been having to deal with in terms of improving the attractiveness of the sport, it helps that if you spoke the english language. it doesn't mean anything more than that. >> smith tweeted out a statement saying he's sincerely sorry. he also said as an african-american keenly aware of the damage stereotyping has done to many in this country, it should have elevated my sensitivities even more. here's the thing, diversity, immigration makes baseball better. think of all the players from korea, japan, dominican republic. >> the way you ingratiate is by playing great baseball as a pitcher and hitter which is something we haven't seen on the field in decades.
8:24 am
>> stephen a. smith is known for speaking his mind. he's apologized. he gives a detailed statement and a very explicit apology and says he will address it again. i think it is good that he has realized that was not the right thing to say. major league baseball is trying to make history off the field as well before tonight's all-star game in denver. it's committing up to $150 million to make sure african-americans are represented on and off the field for years to come. commissioner rob manfriened sai they will give to the players alliance to help with diversity initiatives. >> funding will go towards programs that will increase black participation in mentorship and development. it will help players move from the field to front office positions. mlb will make sure black history and culture are celebrated.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you stories we call talk of the table. anthony is up first. >> i want to go back to the home run derby. something happened to a fan in the stands when matt olsen of the oakland as was taking his swings. take a look. >> that one's going to stay fair. it's got the distance and it does. >> oh, my. >> oh. >> yeah, that fan went over the railing and took a scary fall while trying to catch the ball. >> did they catch the ball? >> he's okay. cameras caught up with him later. he admitted that he came up
8:31 am
empty handed, gayle. >> i dove. i went over the railing and kind of just scraped up my elbow a little bit. tried to get the ball but never ended up getting it. >> he's doing okay but no souvenir. did i mention peeta lonzo of the new york mets won the home run derby. >> the fact that he's talking says he's okay. >> yes. >> we can laugh because it does look funny because he's all right. >> at least he went sideways and not over the front. my story's about fed up workers at burger king in lincoln, nebraska. they fixed the sign that read this. we all quit. sorry for the inconvenience. i love this story. >> oh, no. >> a former, former general manager, her name is rachel said she and the other employees had just had it. they had already put in their two weeks notice when they decided, let's put up a sign. they were tired of difficult working conditions. >> they had us working in the
8:32 am
kitchen with the ac broke for weeks and it's reaching like mid 90s in the kitchen and i ended up in the hospital for being dehydrated. >> yeah, that's not good. after the sign was posted flores got a call from management asking her, could you take that sign down? she was promptly fired. burger king corporate released a statement saying the work experience those employees described at the lincoln franchise location is not in line with the company's brand values. no kidding. they had to work 50 to 60 hours a week during lunchtime, they were short staffed. it was very hot in there and now they just decided that they've all just walked off the job. employees are really speaking out now. >> yes. >> they said it's a good time to be an employee if you are unhappy with conditions. >> they're having a hard time finding people. >> they're having a hard time. people are saying, we don't want to work this way anymore. >> good for them.
8:33 am
companies like mcdonald's are providing incentives. >> child care. >> you cannot go to mcdonald's. >> i hope this works out. if not, i'll flip a burger. >> they do have the best fries. >> you've got to stay. >> the whopper is good too. >> it is. my talk of the table is about a new barbie doll honoring tennis star naomi osaka. she's part of the barbie doll role model line. >> i love her hair. >> i know. >> i do too. >> inspiring women around the world. if you are hoping to snag one, i am so sorry, this is out of stock on amazon. the doll is wearing a copy of the outfit osaka wore when she was in the 2020 australian open. check them outside by side. osaka is honored to be part of the barbie role model series. she wants girls to feel empowered and feel big. she was honored in 2019 for the
8:34 am
brand's 60th anniversary. i love her big, natural hair. that is so great. >> go mattel. >> when i was a little girl all you could get was a blond barbie shaped like this. i'm so glad they've caught up with the times. now there's all different kind of barbies you can get. >> i want that, too. >> my brother would cut my barbie's hair growing up. they were all blond. >> why did he do it? >> because he's a brother. but i want to get that barbie for my little girl that's coming. >> yes. >> gayle, get it for a favorite grandchild that's coming. >> i want it for favorite me. i want a naomi -- the last one i got was ava, i have an oprah barbie. >> i didn't know this about your barbie doll collection. >> are they all still in the case? >> yes. i'm not playing with them. i like looking at them. >> the crew is laughing if you guys can't hear that at home. >> all right. turning now to -- >> don't be hating.
8:35 am
yes, i like them. turning to a new list of the best places to live in the country. u.s. news and world report ranks 150 of the most populated metropolitan areas across the country based on affordability, job spros spekts and desirability. this year, here are the winners. get ready. fifth best place to live is austin, texas. number four, fayetteville, arkansas. in third place is huntsville, alabama. >> wow. >> number two, raleigh and durham, north carolina. drumroll please. number one -- new york city? no, it's boulder, colorado. u.s. news and world reports real estate editor joins us to break down the rankings. good morning. thanks for being here. >> good morning. >> boulder, colorado, tops the list for the second year in a row. why is it up there at the very top? >> boulder has kind of a natural ability to attract a lot of people who want to move to the
8:36 am
area. so it's definitely one of the most desirable places to live in the u.s. it's actually tied for tenth in terms of desirability with new york city, which i find to be an interesting juxtaposition because they are so different. boulder's job market is extremely strong and despite the fact that the entire country experienced skyrocketing unemployment throughout 2020, boulder's marked remains unsteady. keeping it to the top. on top of that, it's just one of those places, people love the idea of being able to get outdoors and things like that. easy access to those things. during the pandemic it's been amplified more. people are eyeing boulder as an ideal place to move. >> you've mentioned new york city ranks tenth on desirability. why don't big cities like new york, la, chicago rank higher on
8:37 am
the overall list? >> yes. one thing we look at, it's definitely an important aspect that a lot of people consider when they're moving to a new metro area is affordability and the cost of living. these biggest cities in the country and their surrounding metro areas are unfortunately for a lot of people not that easy to afford. a lot of people's paychecks have to go towards housing costs, whether that's mortgage payments, rent, property taxes, utilities, things like that. so the median household income in a lot of cases doesn't match up with the median cost of living there. >> i love austin, texas, devin. it looks like your light went out on you. there you go. i love austin, texas. i'm not surprised austin made the list. to the five cities in the top five, do they have anything in common? >> a lot of them offer kind of a smaller major metro setting. so boulder, raleigh and durham, huntsville, fayetteville and
8:38 am
austin, they offer the amenities of a big city that people want to see. definitely when it's not pandemic times, entertainment will come to the area, lots of conferences but it also has sprawling suburbs. they can get outdoors and they don't feel necessarily packed in. that's something we've seen as a result of the pandemic, partially from desirability and people are looking to move to those places as well. >> devin, on that note, what changes and trends have you seen because of the1/1/3 o of americ said t the panandemicc c change preferences for w where too liv? >> yes. it doeoesn't dirirectly -- t th survey we d did doesn't dirirec impapact thehe bestt places to rankings. we wanted to look at and be able to estimate what's going to happen in the future. we surveyed u.s. residents and 1/3 of americans said the pandemic is going to change their opinion about where they
8:39 am
live. 11% say they have relocated or plan to relocate as a result of the pandemic. 57 porgs% of those people are looking to move to a less dense area. 25% are hoping to move to a more densely populated area. and i think that that's reflected when we see the desirability survey in the best places to live and down the line when we look at our long-term net migration, i think we'll see big differences in a couple of years as a result of the pandemic. >> i'm trying to figure out, devin, how you determine desirability when you have all of these different cities. >> yes. desirability is something especially because it's the opportunity to kind of gut check what people think of metro areas. and so we conduct a survey every year asking thousands of people across the country just where they prefer to live given the choice. we don't necessarily ask why because i know those reasons
8:40 am
that people can be about the job market. it cosh they want to be by the beach. we conduct it by survey monkey. we had 3600 respondents. you see lots of beach cities, lots of florida metro areas reaching the top of desirability, but you also see the austins, the boulders, the new york cities as well. >> devin, thank you so much for joining us. before you came on, we all agreed you have one of the coolest names. i assumed you were going to be british, devin thorsby. you and lily luciano. she didn't say you have a cool name, anthony, gayle. >> not as cool as hers. >> not as cool as hers. the summer olympics are just days away. are you counting? the deep divisions in japan over this year's games compared with
