CA residents, bend over because Newsome wants a piece of yo ass!

This is in Committee, it has a long way to go. the real estate lobby will fight this hard.

 
We bought a house in Southern Utah in 2018, with a 3-5 year exit plan.  That ended up being one year.  The noise from Sacramento was becoming too loud to ignore. 

Yes, needed to be closer to friends and family, so only 6-ish hours back to family.  And suddenly necessary this year with mother-in-law and a terminal illness.  Been 'living' in the RV in SoCal for the last 3 months.  It was nice to take breaks to come home periodically.  So discomforting that California, as a location, doesn't feel like home anymore.  But the WEATHER is great, and the wine at Costco is awesome!!  And if you want to work, it's there in spades.

Our observation: Most everyone pounded by fear for two years has had a devastating affect. (young people waking solo, outside with masks)  It looks like it's becoming a population of working poor and young wealthy professionals.  With the median price of a home being $1 million, that's a heck of a mortgage.  If established in a purchased home in the last 20 years, it'd be hard decision to move to a different city in costal SoCal. 

I'd say at least half of my friends we've seen in the last few months have an EXIT CALI plan in the works.  Sad for such a beautiful state.  Did see on KTLA that Cali did loose close to a net 300K in population again in the last year.  Article bent over backwards to blame everything except bad political policy.... 

 
Mississippi is the cheapest state to live in in the United States. Guess I'll sell my house and move there....heard I can grab this home for a case of Keystone Lite!

I was on a cruise out of San Fran five years ago. 90% of the people on the ship were from California.  The ongoing joke was Oh your from California, where do you plan on moving to, wasn't really a joke.  Everyone except one couple had a exit strategy.  

 
This past weekend visited San Diego. Striking up conversations with people, the question always asked.....Where you from? As soon as I say Texas, the expression on their faces change. Love it! "Don't Mess with Texas" Peace

 
I always love the "hate" on Cali threads.  Fact is everyone is moving to a different place to actually live with Californians...oh the irony  :classic_biggrin:   And in most cases living with old retired cali peeps.

Fact is, I left the coast over 20 years ago because the people were too good for their britches.  :classic_ohmy:

When you have over 40 million people to disperse throughout the Nation...kind of hard not to run into others doing the same.

 
I am finishing up a brand new Amazon building launch in Otay Mesa and have been living in Chula Vista during the Week Days for 3 months now.  Hearing the local news ready to welcome 10K illegal immigrants sitting across the border and asking the feds for $$ to house them is aiding and abetting criminals.  I cant wait to get home to AZ every weekend.  I am glad for this project to be over tomorrow, this state is CRAZY!!!!!

Anyone that watches the local news is certainly bored, it is junk news.  Even AZ local news sucks.

But, most are leaving for the correct reason... Cost of Living, a moral compass.  I tell friends I hear GUN fire everyday, they're shocked... WHAT?  I tell 'em yes people practicing in the hills (sanctioned shooting areas).  And they're shocked we'd leave our house for months at a time.  I tell 'em I just have the neighbor go over and flush and make sure the sink traps are full. Most don't even know their next-door neighbor. Heck we had a neighborhood "house party" to do our CCW training. so I KNOW all my neighbors are armed.

The Cali-expats that have issues with all those things, move on pretty quick.  Colorado and New Mexico welcome them... Shocked how many people don't do a demographic look, before they move somewhere.

Only trouble is that dang mormon underwear does itch!!!

Utah is really nice, we liked it allot there.

 
My point on the Cali haters (don't be offended), is they can't stop hating after they moved.  It is like breaking up with an EX, and 5 years later your are still talking chit on her, even after you have a new girl. Move on, enjoy your new gig.  Talking chit on the past shows some true colors............but then again if it makes you feel better, continue..... :classic_rolleyes:

It’s awesome, isn’t it?

Same here.  You hear shooting off in the distance regularly; no big deal.

BS.  You’re miserable and hate that those who chose to escape are happy, very happy.

Marinate in j00r misery, mayne.  We’re all laughing at you.

Have to be careful doing that in Mississippi. They have a lot of dry counties.  They don't really care if you take it from one county to the next but if you sell it, thats different.
