California Exodus Getting Worse: How Politicians Destroyed a Once Great State

[@WordAroundtheCampfire]

The largest concern is that they are fleeing their failed policies in CA and voting for the exact same policies in the new locations they fled to.

[@Stuart267]

Definition of insanity comes to mind.

[@alessiosem2238]

Agree. Whenever they are moving they will still vote Dems and possibly ruining another entire State. That's scary. There's should be a law where you can't vote for a state unless you lived there for at least 7 years, but from a country that doesn't ask for an ID before exercise the right to vote what do you expect.

[@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figure]

We should regulate who can vote where after moving as well as the housing market to protect locals. Its ridiculous that people in California can sell their house, move to Florida and basically buy 2 houses with the cash made from the sale in Cali. Same with NY and wherever else.

[@christopherdallenbach7897]

Back in 2015 I was 25, still living in my childhood home in California. I was constantly doing the math and trying to figure out how I was going to afford rent and still pay my bills and save money for my future, but unfortunately it proved to be futile. Broke my heart because it wasn’t from a lack of effort or desire to stay in California but it just wasn’t happening. A friend of mine had moved to Texas a couple of months prior and offered me a sofa to sleep on so I packed up and went. Two weeks later I had a great job and I was off the sofa and into my own apartment, saving money. Now I am a proud homeowner, and happily married. I still miss my family and California sometimes, but to move back would mean giving up all of the things I have gained here in Texas. I was a liberal when I was in California now I vote Conservative. I hope California finds a way to recover from the liberal grip the career politicians have on it, but I don’t see it changing anytime soon. The liberal mindset targets young and inexperienced voters and once indoctrinated they vote the way Sacramento wants. It took me seeing a different approach to get me to wake up and realize that the problem wasn’t me, but the State I was living in.

[@CandaceSellsLA]

What and who are calling out the "liberal" shots in California? We need to name names to identify who we, as citizens, can support and vote for. Newsom? Garcetti? Bass?

We were living in a 3 bed townhouse with no backyard, just a porch and a balcony and we were paying $4,000 a month just in rent alone. Our electricity bill was anywhere between $250-$400 a month depending on the season. You add that with water bill, gas, food, sports for all 3 kids. Just in basic necessities, we were shoveling out more than $5,000 a month just to have a roof over our heads, food in our stomachs and car to drive. Add to that all the crappy new legislation that the snake-oil salesman that calls himself govenor newsom was implementing, we knew we couldnt do it anymore and had to get out of there before it got any worse. We didnt want to leave, but, we felt we had no other choice because unfortunately, even though our little town we lived in was reasonable and voting red, it didnt matter because San Francisco and LA counties were voting blue, so the whole state had to suffer the rules and regulations based on what those 2 counties voted for. Its just so sad and unfortunately, I dont think its gonna change anytime soon.

Oh but it is not total failure for the radical left promoting it. These elitist , in love with more wealth and power, will expand their efforts to all states. The near destruction of California is not their goal in itself. Just one step toward buying up California at bargain prices. Once they have purchased California, and used federal grants to finance the renovation of it to desirable condition they will have accomplished their goal. Then they will try to extend into other states. Probably red states, but only 1 at a time. These particular people with enormous wealth working together can afford to buy entire cities, once their political allies have driven down property values. They can do the same with many thousands of acres of farmland. With water supply insufficient in many parts of America, many states now have water usage control agencies who decide who receives what percentage of available water. Often a fight between states, as with the Colorado River. Or a conflict of interests between cities and farms. So political influence on the Water Control Agencies can severely impact cities water shortages or farms turning into dust bowls. Those who control these agencies to suit their own interests thus markedly control the value of land dependent on agency decision allotting them water. That is exactly why some people have expressed concern about Bill Gates purchase of huge acres of farmland. We do not know his intentions at this time.

@RayCromwellbot

[@Olivia-bl8ez]

@RayCromwell the only state receiving more money from the federal government than it brings in is New Mexico, which definitely is not a red state. Feel free to look it up. Also… it is not true poor people pay less in taxes in California than Texas. I have lived in both California and a red state when I was broke. In California, corporate taxes and regulations are extremely high. Where do these businesses have to get their money from for more taxes? From their customers so everything costs way more. $7 gas may be no big deal for rich people, but it was crippling when I was poor. Texas also doesn’t have a state income tax at all. So while California residents in poverty are paying less in taxes than rich people, they are still paying more in state income tax than anyone in Texas. Sales tax in California is much higher on everything you buy. Property tax is pretty much the only tax in California that is lower than Texas. But property in California costs way more since there are so many regulations on construction, so you are still paying way more on property tax in California since the average home is $740,000 Vs $257,000 in Texas. ** edit to add, despite all the California taxes, the amount of money Texas and California bring in for the federal government for every dollar they take is the same.

They might not be as extremely liberal as they once were, but they still can’t put together the reasons they had to leave were due to democrat policies. it is common to hear there the reason everything sucks is because of Reagan. Californians can twist logic and blame a Republican governor from 50 years ago instead of the more obvious answer that “gee maybe this is from the policies I have been voting for”. I think California has gotten so bad and the human suffering is so in your face every single day, it can be hard for empathetic but misguided people to entertain the fact they might have helped contribute to the suffering. It’s easier to separate yourself and blame someone else even though it’s wrong.
