A lot of people who live in the “Beverly Hills of Arizona” flee in the summertime to Prescott AZ, a nice retirement community in the northern mountains with temperate weather.

Whole lotta fleeing going on...

Thousands of wealthy Californians are fleeing to celeb haven dubbed the 'Beverly Hills of Arizona', where homes cost as much as $75 MILLION, to escape soaring crime and high taxes

Send an equal number of "refugees" to them!

Regards,

The Bidenites will force Paradise Valley to start building blocks of low-income housing to house “migrants”. The glitterati will again be forced to move.

Even with tons of money, people can still have bad taste. IMHO, this is hideous:

Most film people don’t make big bucks. The great majority of SAG-AFTRA members, for example, don’t even make enough to qualify for union heath insurance. The elite get most of the press attention, but most of the working actors have other jobs, often casual jobs that give them a lot of flexibility when they do get a gig. Etc., etc., etc.

So: for the A-listers who can afford more than one home, what are California’s laws on declaring an out of state address as a primary residence? Does Cali try to track how many days a person is actually in Cali? Does it track where a person actually works? That could be huge since movies get made all over the place.

For those not in the big bucks range, what is possible if someone owns a house in California but has a plausible anchor address elsewhere? In the age of zoom meetings, people aren’t as tied to place as they used to be. I imagine it is still useful to be on the scene for casual networking, but as the industry gradually (rapidly) continues to disperse, at some point the Southern California critical mass will dwindle in importance.

New York has always been the secondary hub of the U.S. film industry, but you don’t have to live in NYC tax hell to have access to that. Similarly, you can live in Las Vegas or Phoenix or various other places in Nevada, Arizona, or the desert and mountain west and be within relatively easy range. Nashville has a lot of film celebrities — it always has had a lot of celebs because of the country music nexus — and Nashville seems to keep things very much on the QT. Atlanta is emerging as a major hub. There are probably other clusters forming elsewhere — as is happening in tech, which is another industry that will probably desert California at some point. There is no reason except stupidity and inertia for major tech companies to stay in Silicon Valley, and the leakage has been going on for some time.

So what, exactly, does California tax? Property taxes can’t be avoided, but as for income taxes, does Cali tax a pro rata share based on days in residence? Days actually worked in state? Does Cali require movie people to wear ankle tags to trace their movements?

We moved to AZ. twelve years ago from the SF bay area. We now live a short walk from Paradise Valley. Some comments regarding AZ:

1) We were surprised at how quickly we acclimated to the heat. 90-95 degree days are not bothersome.

2) Super hot days (115-120), are not very common, maybe 10-14 days out of the year.

3) This time of year (from Jan to March) average high temps are in the high 60's to mid 70's. occasionally in the 80's.

4) I personally know 14 CA transplants, all of us voted for Trump and Kari Lake.

5) regarding this 120 degree days? We do have air conditioning. Just like those who live in snow country, we stay indoors during severe days, be it 120 or O degree days.
