What it’s like living in California now is a little bit significantly different than seven months ago. California, now officially the world’s largest prison has the industries of homelessness and lockdowns to bolster its economy. Along with the highest tax rate in the nation, businesses being shutdown is another fantastic strategy that’s sure to improve the economy. Gavin Newsom, Mayor Garcetti, and Nancy Pelosi are spear heading the charge to help make California the zombie apocalypse capital of the world.

Its not already?
I think a couple of cities in India are ahead of them at the moment.
Possibly the intention is for the San Andreas Fault to finally snap, thereby allowing California to float out beyond the territorial limits of the United States.
California thus could declare itself an INDEPENDENT NATION, one having a national government FREE of the constraints of the United State’s Constitution.
My family’s home state for six generations. We started out dirt poor, subsistence farming. Successive generations started businesses, and all worked their asses off. After four generations, we were relatively solid. Things were looking positive for my folks and our immediate family through the early ‘90’s. It’s all changed dramatically since then. It is now a complete Through The Looking Glass dynasty of warped elites, failed schools, and dysfunctional governance. Am in one of the few remaining places with a mix of perspectives/political affiliations, but it’s changing quickly. Tragic stuff given how amazing the place was for so many for decades. No more.
...but I’m sure that, if that did happen, California would tip over like Guam did.
I may move there if CA real estate gets cheap in enough . I hear the local property taxes are reasonable.
Moved out after 30 years one year ago this week, best move I ever made. Best thing besides lower rent is you can drive 75 on the freeways and actually drive the speed limit.
If nothing else, their ‘16 popular vote win built on California won’t be happening this time around. And we’ll get several house seats back there.
Power outages, fire, COVID, and the gig union (AB5) issue on top of the regular tax crime, and immigration problems. WHAT A PARADISE !
Everything is fine where I’m at. We’re ready to leave if things get bad though. Nobody wears masks around here. Especially at the little market down the mountain in the village where they keep my beer ice cold.
Popcorn...more popcorn!!!
It’s my understanding that property taxes were capped, if you already owned it. If you sell it, the new buyer pays much more.
Let say I can get a nice place in the CA countryside for 50 cents on the dollar. Would it be worth it? Has the low balling started? I am past worrying about schools and all of the BS.
That is correct.
If you look at California economically and politically, it is a clear example of what the whole country will be if we continue in the directions the new left is pushing; Drastic taxes, environmental rules without thought or end, unrestricted illegal immigration so that white people who largely built the country will be a minority (60% now). But we are not able to say these things without severe reactions and criticism.
We have lost the ability to rationally discuss where we are, except on blog sites like FR.

Torrance CA, 1475 sq ft, 4br 2ba, 50x100 lot, built 1954, price: 1.150 MILLION.
Not cheap.
CA is a huge state. The real estate has to be tanking. I guess it is relative.
People are leaving in vast numbers for a reason.
Would you just want to flip houses, or are you talking about actually living there?
Man, I wouldn’t to CA if the property was *given* to me, and you paid me above whatever salary I would get there.
I would live in the country. I don’t want any close neighbors. I don’t care what they are or do..
