"How about just wiping the progressive west side off the map?"

We keep trying to wipe Rinos off the face of the map too, but it never seems to get done. They seem to multiply like rabbits.

LOL! Nobody works there anymore. Nobody can afford the electric cars or replacement batteries (up to $20,000)....Perhaps the rioting still stop when nobody can “get there”.

Invest in gas powered cars. Boy oh boy will they be valuable.

“...the Karens there will RAT YOU OUT.”

Indeed! One of them ratted us out in California. We had one of our two Idaho-registered cars there for about six months. We got a letter from the CA Highway Patrol quoting the law saying you have to register the car in 30 days of moving a car into CA (I think - it might have been 21 days) AND that somebody had reported us!

Wow! 6 months in California is IMPRESSIVE!!! In Texas, car registration is so cheap that no one cares where you register your car.

But in Seattle, where people will have to plug-in and then unplug their cars in the 35 degree rain for 6 months every year, probably twice a week, they’ll get pissed seeing their neighbor not having to do any of that crap.

"The bill covers a lot of transportation issues in the state and is a part of a larger $16.9 billion transportation package called “Move Ahead Washington,” which Inslee described as a way to create more efficient transportation options."

Soon to become known as the "Move Out Of Washington" bill, providing a bonanza to U-Haul, Penske, and other renters of household moving vehicles.....

I really screwed up, too. Kept the car in the driveway. If I’d cleared out the garage and put it away where it belonged, I probably would never have gotten caught.

Then sales will go to near zero.

Not everyone can afford a $55,000 and up vehicle.

Hard time paying for exorbitant gas prices but Inslee wants us to buy $40-60K electric cars that cost more to charge than gas.

LOL. Now that it’s history, I have a question: How about your driver license and insurance, did you also keep them out of state?

Otherwise, there's a nice new model of Model 3 you can buy. It's going to be priced out so that the average American won't be able to afford it.

Only the very wealthy will be able to purchase vehicles. The rest of the population will only be able to lease vehicles, with lease charges (along with taxes and road use charges) increasing based on mileage.

We switched insurance to ID but we still have CA DL. We are trying to figure out the ramifications of switching domicile to ID. ID has proposed eliminating the property tax and jacking up the sales tax. If they do that, then it becomes a no-brainer to make ID our domicile with the lower income taxes AND the then-lower property taxes.

But I sure enjoy going back to our CA place in winter.

The tax laws sure don’t make such decisions easy.

Been to Washington state. It is beautiful and so much to see. Will never go back. They are on the crazy train and I will not support it or give them my tourist dollars.

Just the way the (Liberal) Elite wanted.

Plenty folks will be able to buy them. Like Mayor Pete and his partner. Members of the Democratic Party.

The city of Seattle keeps voting for this.

The King County election system has been crooked for decades. It does not matter what people "vote" for. What they get is what the Democrat Party leaders decide they are going to get.

The real vote takes place in small meetings of the party officials and assorted corporate executives. The "Elections" are only for show to keep the marks quiet.

People will tolerate an amazing degree of political corruption when they believe they might get a small piece of the action. It is a losing game, like buying lottery tickets, but people seem to want to play.
