I've lived in the desert my entire life (Las Vegas 17 years, then to phoenix for 3ish, then back in Vegas now. Almost 25. You have been such a big inspiration to turn my life around when I had no job and living in a motel with my dog. I paid for weeks of motel living with credit cards and food with credit cards... when I finally found a place and work within a week of eachother after living in a motel for almost 3 months.. I set on a path to rebuild... now I currently have a new car, 1 used as a project/show truck, an apartment, dog is healthy, I'm healthy, I'm in management after less than 1 year of being a mechanic and still soaring to new heights including financially with less than $100 of cc debt recurring and a personal loan for $6000 (before all that) paid off... idk if you read comments or care.. but I would love to have a chance to meet you since you're now in the best state and best town. It would mean a lot

Food for thought: Remember that California versus the other states are the way they are because of their fiscal policy. When people move out from California, they should consider a change to their policy mindset. If people moving out from California want to keep their old ideals, they need to remember that it comes at a very high cost. A large part of these ideals and fiscal policies are driven by the voters. Some would argue that how one votes can impact fiscal policy.

Yep, California has a huge wealth gap issue. As usual, California is just a little ahead of the curve, but as you see more Tesla's and Peloton's pop up in your area, watch out for the wealth gap issue to rear it's head in your neighborhood. You'll see the rich Californian's taking their wealth out of state to avoid the taxes. They'll take their wealth "creation" businesses to your area and enhance the wealth gap. For example, if a wealthy real estate investor leaves LA and heads to, say, NV, they will gradually pull local wealth up to the top. They'll outbid local investors, raise prices, and then rent those properties back to locals at higher than current market prices. In summary, if you hate what you see in California, you might actually hate capitalism. Because what it does, in the end, is push all the wealth to the very top, leaving the vast majority broke and destitute.

Which means that everyone else living in the state of poverty thinks it's the social norm and widely accepted. To actually take the steps to deviate from that norm would indicate to everyone else that you think you're special, don't want to be with them, and oddly enough BAD for not wanting to accept what is normal to "everyone". They will feel butt hurt and may even attack you for it all the while you're just trying to escape the herd mentality of poor people. After everything is said and done, being "that person" who breaks out of the chain of poverty or whatever established matrix system/culture is no easy task.

California is working on a law that would allow them to tax you, even if you leave California up to 10yrs after you've left California and this would be retroactive so anyone who has already left would be chased after. Now the odds of that being enforced, I'm not sure what they would have to do because that's insane despotic BS that Commiefornia is trying to push but we're already in a dystopian nightmare where everything fake is pushed as the truth.

Grew up in vegas. It’s fantastic. Nobody understands how “easy” and cheap it is to live there. The lifestyle is incredible. 15 minutes away from some of the best hotels, casinos and restaurants in the world is a suburban paradise where many people raise families. Working class citizens who mind their own business. No judgment.

There's no way you have the highest taxes in the country yet have no money to spend on programs for addiction and homelessness, the roads look like a third-world country, and the disparity between rich and poor there is astronomical. Oddly enough, LA represents all the things the common-man democrat vote against. I see it happening. Used to cruise into work uneventful.

There's also tax policy, zoning rules, laws and regulations. San Francisco has horrible regulations, that basically require you to build low income housing as part of your new development AND very high hurdles to get approved to build anything; won't allow high rises, etc. The end result is that the only way to build a new building that is profitable is to build super luxury units. BUT then you have the issue with low income units (and the politics around gentrification). Prices for beach front will always be more than desert.

I related to this video big time, I was living in Seattle. I could barely afford a studio apartment, I felt suffocated all the time. The homeless crisis is just awful. So I packed up and moved to Oklahoma City. While I love the lower cost of living, I plan to move to Dallas to fit more of my lifestyle. Honestly uprooting out of a state I grew up in was a culture shock, but it's one of the best decisions I've made. I'm glad you are enjoying the new lifestyle!

Texas is an insanely better state in every metric.

I have heard a story from someone whose family lived in Vegas that one may want to consider before moving out there, particularly if you are not well off. As Graham has stated here, most of Nevada's revenue comes from tourism and not residents. This has the side effect of the needs of residents being treated as secondary to the needs of tourists. The example from the story is that a resident was beaten quite severely by a tourist and the state did very little to go after or seek justice against the tourist. It can leave people who live there feeling like second class citizens to those that visit.

When you just compare State by State by the numbers, of course no one will understand why NY and CA have the highest concentration of population in US. I’m actually moving from Houston to New Jersey next week. The prime reason is family and friends. I moved down from East Coast 8 years ago for better job, but I miss my family and friends too much. Sure I get to save more money in Houston compared to NJ, but the extra money was not worth the missed precious times I get to spend with my family. I would like to recommend you guys thinking of moving to not just look at financial reasons. There are so much more factors that are priceless when determining where you want to live. Know that you can make less, and be happier, and vice versa. Be where it makes you happy, not where you make more money

@@aloevera3317 I'm sorry, it's not more complicated than that. Half of Graham's video was dedicated to ridiculous zoning laws, taxes, and regulations which caused California to become unlivable in. All three of these things are 100% controlled by the government. Don't act like the California government isn't the reason that state is going to hell. Just take a look at Texas. Texas is booming in EVERYTHING - tech, ag, energy, etc. and it still remains the most livable state in the nation. Oh wait, did I mention Texas is DEEP RED? Literally has one of the most extreme right wing governors in office right now with a republican state senate, and EVERYONE is moving there. So yes, it is that simple. Democrats and progressive politics/culture have destroyed California. The only reason Oregon, Washington, and other blue states are surviving is because there remains a strong republican presence culturally and in office to balance out the left's insanity in those states. The day your state has little to no republican representation to balance out democrat insanity, you can kiss your state's ass goodbye.

The heat, the seedy parts of town (which there are MANY), the exorbitant expense in visiting anything on "The Strip" and many other issues I had with Vegas will come to light for you...eventually. Until then, enjoy the lower taxes! 😎
