Watch Why People Are 'Fleeing California' – It Ain't Pretty
PJ Media ^ | 03/12/2020 | Victoria Taft

Yes, those lumps of clothes really are people sleeping on the streets. Cable car rides are often ruined by the unmistakable whiff of sun-soaked urine. Small business owners – which employ 40% of the workforce – are held down by masochistic regulators. And people are getting the hell out of California.

They're fleeing. A new Prager University video called "Fleeing California"  – which will probably be censored by one of the tech giants in 3...2...1 –  highlights the lowlights of California and explains why so many are heading for Texas.

Besides pointing out that California's Leftist 'progressive' politics have created this current quality-of-life calamity, the educational nonprofit, headed by radio host and public intellectual Dennis Prager, points out a litany of reasons why middle-class Americans, fledgling business owners, and others simply can't make a go of it in the Golden State.

Those are the low-lights. The good news is that people are seeking freedom, according to Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who is interviewed in the 14-minute video.

The problem for the people currently living in Texas and Tennessee, another hot spot for fleeing Californians, is that they'll bring their Golden State sensibilities with them. Then where will people flee?

“The state is home to now up to 49% of the nation’s homeless.”

Amazing but not shocking.

Social Distancing. Those who are infected don’t come close to them anyway.

The question is why, if no one wants to live there and people are fleeing in droves, real estate is so expensive.

If you’re going to San Francisco
You best bring your hazmat suit too
The streets are full of potholes
The homeless hordes, thick as fleas
But not to worry, anyone.. says Gubby
Being the leader of fads ain’t easy
Hey, buddy can ya spare a mask?

The Chinese are snapping up real estate in CA like crazy.. The down side of "free trade".

Californians who bring their liberal ways with them?

Not necessarily.. It's those who are fed up who are moving out, so that's not really a bad kind of neighbor to have, right?

I submit that most of those moving out of California are conservatives who're fed up with California and its liberal leanings.

We just purchased a home in the best city to live in the entire country, and I ain't sayin' where it is! lol Suffice it to say it is NOT unusual to see "TRUMP" flags flying proudly in the front yards of homes within this unnamed GREAT city. These flags serve as a warning to Biden and Bernie supporters to STAY THE HELL AWAY, YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED HERE.

Secure our borders NOW.

They probably are getting it- likely many have it but are too drunk or drugged out to realize it
