[Attention Surplus Disorder]

CA is hosed. Done. Finished. The gimme vote here is fully established and immovable. I can’t say what it might take to flip this around, but I would be surprised if it can be done in under 30 years.

Probably; they repeal prop 13 and prop taxes skyrocket, and “skyrocket” will be a mild term. This will in large part kick most old white people out of their homes, as they simply will not be able to pay the prop taxes. Prop tax collections will thereby ramp, and those funds will be immediately claimed by the various unions that run this state. In 10 or so years past the repeal of prop 13, CA will resemble Brazil, and the demand for entitlements will simply explode. Only the very wealthy and the very poor will be able to live here.

It’s tragic, CA was an absolute paradise when I came here 45 years ago. I am not going to say “my California”, but this is like seeing a loved one consumed by a chronic and fatal disease. Now it’s like a near-corpse where it’s easy to see buzzard after buzzard coming after every scrap of meat left on whatever bones are left. It WILL be Mexico north by the time this cycle runs. Demographically, this is now inevitable.

Will the Gov be paying the gimmedats new high Property taxes? I just don't see enough rich people coming into California to take over the housing left behind under your scenario. They certainly will want nothing to do with cities like San Bernardino, Barstow, Apple Valley....... It will drive a stake through what small businesses that left.

Maybe they can try to make it proportional, jacking up rates on 1 million dollar plus homes.....the left is great about going after the rich, here is an opportunity.

Gosh, you mean 8 years of Governor Ahnuld didn't "bring the businesses back" and "put California IN PLAY for the GOP"? His supporters swore up and down that's what would happen if California had a "Republican" Governor for 2 terms.

Brown just put 2 billion more into the rainy day fund. What other state can do that? Certainly not Kansas which is a disaster.

It was a paradise when I was born and grew up there. All that beautiful country now ruined.
