A mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of residents in blue states was to be expected because of their extremely high cost of living, Laguna Hills, Calif., Mayor Don Sedgwick said Tuesday.
Appearing on “Fox & Friends” with hosts Griff Jenkins and Dean Cain, Sedgwick said that “it’s just too darn expensive” to live in densely populated states like California and New York.
“And, the Democrat liberal policies have contributed to that,” he said.
Recent U.S. Census Bureau data shows the South is seeing its biggest surge ever, with over a million residents pouring into states like Texas, Florida and the Carolinas. […]
Sedgwick said that while he knows the “number one job of the government is to keep us safe,” the politicians in Sacramento — the state’s capital — believe their number one job is to “stick it to corporations.”
“But when they stick it to the corporations, they don’t realize that they’re sticking it to the consumer,” he explained. …

Go EAST young man!......................
Not surprised.
“they don’t realize that they’re sticking it to the consumer”
Yes, they do.
All part of their overall plan..the progs that is.
Hollywood and LA can be very nice places to live - if you are filthy, stinking rich. Otherwise, not so much so.
I think that soon the only people left will be the rich, the poor, and tourists.
My daughter and her husband left Studio City about 18 months ago for Phoenix. They are accountants and get the same pay in Phoenix. However, in Studio City you could get a small bungalow on a postage stamp lot for $650k, or, in Arizona, a very nice two story with an in-ground pool for $250k.
They chose the latter.
Sorry mayor - when the Rats seek to “stick it to corporations” they DO know they are also sticking it to consumers.
They are commies, seeking to put in place the classic oligarchy with them as the ruling class and 95% of the population returned to serf status, huddled tightly into dense cities in compounds where the ruling class do not have to see or interact with the masses. If tens of millions are killed in the process, oh well, too bad, so sad.
“Go EAST young man!..................…”.
All the way EAST. Don’t stop in between.
Yep flood and over take the red states. It’s happened in Colorado and will happen in next 5 -10 years to Texas.
when they hit the east coast they need to keep going to Europe and stay there. Virginia especially has enough problems right now, we don’t need any more.
You’re exactly right.
We can’t coexist with people who want to ruin and destroy our freedom, security and prosperity, etc.
they don’t realize that they’re sticking it to the consumer,
The hell they don’t. They know damn well that to attract voters they need those voters dependent on them for their daily bread, Making as many people unemployed, broke and desperate is their ticket to the top.
to live in densely populated states like California and New York.
I thought it was strange that he described the two states as densely populated. I looked up Laguna Hills to find that the 6.7 square mile town has 31,000 residents for a population density of 4,771 people per square mile. California’s density is 253 people per square mile.
That said, it is a republican town with a 7000 to 5000 rep to dem ratio although the 2016 election was only 6,844 to 6,647 in the presidential vote versus a much higher rep percentage in 2012.
I got a chuckle out of this info on wikipedia about its high school.
The city has its own high school, Laguna Hills High School, the smallest school in the district built in 1978 and one of the smallest in south Orange County with fewer than 1,700 students.
No one in the state of Maine would think that is a small high school.
We lived in Laguna Hills from ‘85 to ‘06. Hhhhmmmmm. It was a very nice area. Worked in Mission Viejo. Nice 21 years.
....and we are rapidly losing the South to these American “refugees” (many of whom are liberals) as the Southwest is slowly “purpling” like New Mexico,Arizona and Nevada. In the South, Virginia is only the start and that battle may be over before it started. They already have essentially abolished 2A and declared war on babies and white people.
“Yep flood and over take the red states. It’s happened in Colorado and will happen in next 5 -10 years to Texas.”
If people move from south Orange County (where Laguna Hills is loacted) chances are they will be conservative and Republican.
I don’t think the libs running these states understand how widely perceived it is that they are sticking it to individual taxpayers as well; add NJ to the list of states where young American workers are evacuating, following the employers away from the burdensome costs.
The sense of entitlement by our public employees is stunning, and the financial disconnect between them and the little people that pay them is widening daily. Our public employee caste is our new upper middle class, replacing the upper middle class they chased out when they burdened employers too much.
My hope and prayer is that the 2020 census captures this and that when the Congressional District restricting happens, many incumbent Democrats find that their district has been eliminated.....ultimately resulting in a Republican House.
Yup, after seeing the video of the church shooting in Texas, the Lone Star state has moved up to #1 as a place to retire to.
California is mostly empty—as anyone knows who has flown over the state.
Remember—an empty desert is _not_ a permanent feature.
Metro Phoenix and Metro LA were empty desert two hundred years ago...
