Lots of people are fleeing California now. More left than came in last year, even with the illegal alien inflow.
We have an impression as to who they generally are — Republicans, productive middle-class people, companies looking for greener pastures.
The Hollywood crowd is fleeing, too.
James Freeman of the Wall Street Journal (subscription) has an interesting piece describing how Hollywood characters who are fleeing and why they are doing it:
Last year brought an entertaining series of dispatches in which departing residents and their media interlocutors avoided discussing the monumental and expensive failures of so-called progressive governance. But now it seems even in the world headquarters of trendy leftism, public acknowledgments of reality are on the rise.
He notes a subtle detail about it: in the past, people who fled California from Hollywood could never admit as to the real reason why they were doing it. That was six months ago. Today, they are saying it out loud. Then he quotes from a piece in The Wrap about a Hollywood functionary who admitted the naked truth about why he was leaving the state:
"A growing chorus of Hollywood executives are talking about leaving the city," one entertainment industry insider tells TheWrap[.]
Ryan Kavanaugh, founder and CEO of the video-sharing app Triller, grew up in Los Angeles — Brentwood to be precise. But now he's ready to pack his bags and move his family and his business headquarters to Florida.
For Kavanaugh, such a major move represents a mix of concerns — including being closer to his parents, who already left Brentwood for a penthouse condo in the Sunshine State in January. In an interview with TheWrap, Kavanaugh said the main reason he's ready to leave is his increasing disillusionment with L.A.'s rising crime, homelessness and what he considers California's anti-business policies

And now they’ll be bringing their blue state voting habits to red states. I swear, we are going downhill fast. The only thing that can save this country from being turned into the next Venezuela or Zimbabwe is the grace of God Almighty.
as long as all still hold to their commie ways, don’t take them in!!!
“Lots of people are fleeing California now.”
They just want to live in nice neighborhoods with good schools.
Spreading filth wherever they land. They are like nasty clouds of maggot-laying insects.
“They just want to live in nice neighborhoods with good schools.”
Both of those things are “racist dog whistles” to the commies.
Nooooo, don’t let them in. They craved their own nest and now want to move in to beautiful Florida and start spreading filth there.
There invading Florida….
The just voted for Newsome again. They’ll never leave
Typical rich Lib, make your money, fu$k up the area, then leave because you cannot control the disaster you started.
What is truly sad is they can’t vote their way out. The corrupt RAT machine has made that impossible.
If liberals can move to red states and turn them all blue then liberals are easily the majority of the country and they should be running everything.
they are already running everything ...
Stay and fix your state.. no red state wants more CA libs than they already have.
Happy to hear you think that of us freepers leaving CA.
They are like locusts, mindless eating machines. They hunger and do not care what they destroy in their quests to fill themselves with all that they desire.
They are like a cancer, attacking healthy cells, binding themselves to their fragile and vulnerable cell walls, sucking them dry.
They are like lemmings, jumping off cliffs and trampling each other in their efforts to escape they know not what....leading to not only their own deaths, but the deaths of innocents caught up in the perpetual lies they have absorbed into themselves and MUST follow or admit the fools, the scourge, the anathema they have become...to themselves and to the world they inhabit.
It takes courage to admit you are wrong, that you have erred....But they lack that in greatest measure.
They flee the cess pools they created to destroy all that is left of what is good. Dark days are coming. Do you know Jesus?
Well, if you see ample evidence that your potential new neighbors from the Left Coast are left-wing whack jobs, I would say it is a matter of survival to inform them clearly that they are not welcome. Of course, if they are conservative refugees, you should embrace them - they will most likely be your best allies, and will recognize the leftists faster.
The blanket assumption here is that its leftists leaving the deep blue areas. It isn’t. It’s the remaining conservatives and people looking for a better life. Both are net plusses to the areas they go to. And in any case, we can’t stop people from voting with their feet.
It’s a shame that conservatives are moaning and complaining about the biggest gift we’ve gotten in decades.
Why? You work in entertainment? And I use that word advisably.
The dipshit left will never learn... Never.
