Hollywood producer Ryan Kavanaugh is fleeing Los Angeles, California, amid rising crime, homelessness, and higher taxes. Flight from the Democrat-run city is trending as “a growing chorus of Hollywood executives are talking about leaving the city,” one entertainment industry insider told The Wrap.
Ryan Kavanaugh, American film financier and founder and CEO of the video-sharing app Triller — who grew up in Los Angeles and has called it home for 47 years — is now getting ready to pick up and move his family and business headquarters to Florida.
Kavanaugh — who’s backed over 200 films, including Limitless, Hancock, Mamma Mia!, and The Social Network — told TheWrap that the main reason why he’s looking to flee L.A. is due to the city’s rising crime, homelessness, and California’s anti-business policies.
“I grew up here, I grew up in Brentwood, and I was allowed to be on the streets,” he said. “I would never let my kids walk (alone) in Brentwood — how many times do you have to be out in Los Angeles and see feces in the streets before you just don’t want to be here anymore?”
Kavanaugh added that he doesn’t blame the Chinese coronavirus pandemic for what he sees transpiring throughout L.A., bur rather, city and state government regulations that he says have made it more difficult to prosecute criminals, and local leaders who have failed to address a homelessness crisis.
“It’s not the pandemic, it’s policy,” he said.

He has four rent houses in the LA area.
Kavanaugh - you broke it, you stay and fix it. Don’t move to some nice Red State and ruin it too. Your type are locust or cancer cells.
R U N!
Did he back any of the current office-holders? Perhaps he not only voted for them, he bought and paid for them too?
Just wonderin’
I moved out of the west San Fernando Valley 18 years ago into a conservative mountain community 140 miles north. I wanted to move as soon as L.A. City took the cross off the city seal.
I was born and raised in Southern California as were many of my ancestors before me. It was a beautiful place to grow up, even around the Los Angeles area. I moved out about 30 years ago and will never move back. I only visit there now infrequently for business, to see my wife’s parents, and while there visit the graves of my parents and grandparents.
Here’s a better idea, Ryan. Instead of leaving, why not stay and clean up the mess you helped make. You can start by voting every single demokkkrat out of office.
Hollywood is DEAD!
Got that right!
DO NOT COME TO TEXAS! You helped the liberals break it now swallow it...
Dang - Brentwood was pretty swanky at one time.
If Kavanaugh voted the current trash in, he needs to stay there and wallow in the filth he helped to create.
If he didn’t vote it in (unlikely; Hollywood types love the left), then by all means flee, but don’t vote blue if you go somewhere decent. (And don’t come to Texas. We’re full and it gets really hot here.)
Never heard of the guy, but I’ll bet $100 he’s a leftist tw@t in all regards. ie) he’s as responsible as anyone for the problem.
Poopy ???
LA is trying to be Trans San Fran ???
He’s welcome as long as they leave their voting patterns in California....................
Victor Davis Hanson: Third-Worldizing America
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson, op-ed via Townhall.com,
It’s called Third Worldization! It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.
Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization. In a recent online exchange, YouTuber, Casey Neistat vented his anger after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a “3rd world s***hole of a city.”
The predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst. In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.
Such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.
Violent crime is soaring in America. Two things are different about America’s new criminality.
• One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.
• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.
So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020: “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”
Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

Fox News: California city/Walnut Creek boosts security budget by $2 million after ‘criminal mob’ ransacks after Nordstrom’s @ Walnut Creek was rocked by a smash-and-grab mob last month!
https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-walnut-creek-security-police-2-million
It’s the leniency of politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom/Gruesome which is ultimately responsible for the descent into barbarism and this organized looting/piracy with masses of looters.
This organized massed looting is similar to a problem our forefathers had at one time. It was called piracy. They shot or hung pirates and then sank their ships with the pirates on board.
That worked for about 3+ centuries until George SoreA$$’s Elites’ took over our blue states, cities, mayors, local and state attorney generals, governors and often, the local police chiefs.
This has allowed George SoreA$$’s elites and his well funded BLMers to have free reign over many blue cities and states and now, the plundering of the Nordstrom’s in Walnut Creek.
Forget It, Jakes/Janes! Relax! It’s Now, Not Even Your City/Town/County nor State, any more!
George SoreA$$’s elites control everything now from your schools to the stores where you send your kids and try to buy things.
Even, If you didn’t vote for this, it doesn’t matter!
Your votes were probably not counted nor have been counted for decades, if ever!
I say if you voted for Rats you should stay right where you are and eat your own damn dog food.
Sold our house...and took off to NE OK

I lived in Brentwood for 20 years. I’m hoping he’s exaggerating about allowing his kid to walk in the neighborhood. I loved living there.
Brentwood was swanky. Now its a 3rd world s-hole?
