"You might be keeping the wrong kinds of people. Middle-class taxpayers might get up and go. That's the key. Who are the ones leaving?"

The producers are leaving, the looters are pouring in.

Half those people planning to leave are probably thinking they will be deported by then.

Great, ruin one city, then just move on to ruin another. It is time for people to make a stand where they live because they will quickly find the problems they are running from will just follow them.

since the last storms, all westside traffic is now funneled at drivetime thru the 405 North thru Sepulveda Pass. The last few weeks have been unbearable. I leave LAX @ 4:30pm and arrive in Northridge around 7pm. (7 mph)

ask someone at UHaul how much does it cost to rent one-way from Calif to anywhere in the midwest? Then ask someone in that midwest city how much does it cost to rent one-way to Calif? Bet you find it is 4 times higher to leave Calif because nobody is moving to Calif to return the empty trailers. Calif land of opportunity exists only for the immigrant arriving with not much on their back or via an airplane from Asia. Same think is true about their companies the big ones are leaving for other places with less regulation and lower taxes. One bonus they find -- better schools, Calif is 47th.

Quote: But there were some silver linings in the survey. For instance, most residents expect race relations to improve



After all the whites and blacks move out...

The danger is people will still keep coming, but the ones you want to keep might go away because they've got other choices," he said. "You might be keeping the wrong kinds of people. Middle-class taxpayers might get up and go. That's the key. Who are the ones leaving?"

The ones that will still keep coming are the illegals. The ones that want to leave are the tax base. Better be nice to the tax base or LA will look like certain places in Northern CA where they are closing schools for lack of students and people are moving far, far away.

Good. Leave. Maybe housing prices will finally start coming down after the same people now fleeing L.A. moved here and drove up the cost of everything.

What a wonderful article. I encourage all unhappy Los Angeles residents to leave.

It is just awful here, get going while the going is good!

Please go!

I will just have to stay here and suffer the terrible warm weather, beaches and mountains by myself.

Really. It's OK. I can handle it. You go on now. Don't worry about us. We'll be OK.

No kidding.

Anecdotal evidence:

A year ago, I drove into San Diego, and I noticed that no UHauls were heading in the same direction as I was.

A month later when I left San Diego, I saw at least five UHauls heading eastbound on Interstate 8 out of San Diego.

Hmmm, what happens when the majority of the people in LA are the welfare receivers? Who is going to pick up the tab?

BTW: This story could've been written about New York City 25 years ago. There is still hope for LA.

New York magazine did a story a few years back about how the only folks who really wanted to leave NYC were the poor and "people of color" (Blacks and Latinos), while most of the white folk surveyed couldn't live anywhere else. In NYC, everyone pays the same high prices for everything, so you can't exactly live "high on the hog"if you are poor, an illegal, or a struggling student.

Not to worry. Vicente Fox will make sure that any voids will be filled.

North Carolina is horrible, dirty, and dangerous.
Please stay far away.

Sorry...Texas is full up. They'll have to go to Nevada or Idaho.

"58 percent believe race relations were not so good"

as a former south bay resident, ...

uh you mean when brothers from south l.a. pull up at an off ramp,

and see a ---- as they call asian immigrants in a car waiting for the light to change,

and they shoot them dead and drive off onto the onramp and escape?

you say race relations are not good. how did you figure that out? (/s)
