BS
Low unemployment where I live
Property values WAY up
If it’s so freaking bad why do so many people want to live here?
Now I don’t like a lot of the policies of the state government, but ignorant hyperbole like this just gives the leftists something to paint (some) conservatives as idiots with.
That's not the point. How many billions of dollars of debt has California incurred to implement its insane policies? Is it sustainable? Of course not. Wait til the dam breaks, then tell me how many people are flooding into the state.
And people live there because of the great climate.
There are pockets like the Bay Area carry the whole state employment. Property values are artificially high because of green space requirements, the cost of permits for new construction, and the property tax laws locking up housing with the same owners for decades. Population growth is only coming from foreign immigrants while US born persons are moving out, with net growth anemic. If the industry they are in doesn’t require a large pool of tech savvy engineering talent then businesses are likely to move out to cheaper environments.
I personally would love to live in California again but I have a family to support and the cost of living, the anti-child attitudes, and the crazy laws mean ever going back is a fools dream. I would say I miss people there but more and more of my friends have left as well. Sorry to abandon the state to the crazies but they hit a critical mass and there is nothing to do but get out.
You are under the impression that ca’s low unemployment and property values are forever. Ask a californian from 2007 and they will just laugh. The next downturn — which is as certain as death and taxes — will finish off ca.
