California billboards seen in LA and SF warn against moving to Texas by invoking mass shooting

133 murders in Oakland California alone last year. Go figure

[JJBookman]

The probability of being taxed to death in Cali is FAR greater.

[John Robinson]

Paid for by Texas?

[Moonmad27]

Who in Texas financed that billboard?

[algore]

Beware Californication

[WMarshal]

Ali or Ia is a whore paste her prime - Crackhofornia!

[2001convSVT]

Just stay out of the big cities and Uvalde and everything should be OK.

[arthurus]

Because California is free of mass shootings?

[WMarshal]

WTF is that picture?

[ansel12]

Seems like that would have the reverse effect on many or most people, by triggering the natural question of “Are things so bad here now that they are running ad campaigns to keep us from moving to other states?”

This isn’t making people proud, it is a state bottoming out.

Some dude who has AIDS, syphillis, and monkey pox. His nose went necrotic. Good times, but hey it’s a lifestyle choice.

[Salman]

Their opening gambit is always slander, and nothing they say can ever be taken at face value. Everything is a ploy. They are ployers.

[T.B. Yoits]

The billboards are either paid for by Texans or by Los Angeles realtor groups.

While it would be a good move by Texans, my suspicions are that realtors in particular are terrified of their future in California.

I’d think the Calif realtors would be happy to collect the commissions on the houses sold by folks leaving. Doubt they are long term thinkers.

[jonrick46]

This type of stupidity is generated by California’s dysfunctional education system.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Cool. Why would regular Texans want liberal Californians moving there?

[WMarshal]

Holy crap! That is disgusting. His nose looks like a rotten onion.

[T.B. Yoits]

I’d think the Calif realtors would be happy to collect the commissions on the houses sold by folks leaving. Doubt they are long term thinkers.

I thought of that but I wonder if a lot of these homes are being sold directly to finance groups like Blackrock who intend to rent them out to government subsidized tenants. The realtors aren't going to get any commissions on those sales and rentals.

The realtors would also be too well aware that once a neighborhood tips, other other owners are going to sell quickly and in these cases, sell direct to a finance group.

[EastTexasTraveler]

Put up more of them. Californians are obviously stupid enough to believe it.

[Mouton]

Coming soon, the California wall to keep people in.
