Los Angeles' wealthiest residents are fleeing the city as Governor Gavin Newsom hikes taxes on the rich and the city crumbles under soaring crime rates - with actor Jim Carrey the latest A-lister to list his home for sale.

Carey, 61, who purchased his Brentwood mansion for $3.8 million in 1994, listed his home for a whopping $28.9 million after announcing his plan to retire from acting.

In a statement to the Wall Street Journal, Carey said he no longer spends much time at the property and was ready for 'Cha cha cha cha ... changes,' referencing the David Bowie hit. It's unclear whether Carey will remain in Los Angeles.

Two thoughts about this:
1) How can you retire from something you stopped doing years ago?
2) If you read the article Ozzy Osbourne is moving from California to England! I always thought England had the highest rates.

>> He simply needs to have his realtor list it in an L.A.-area Chinese-language newspaper.

Or Mejico. Some slave-trading or fentanyl-dealing cartel wetback will snap it up.

How many criminal, illegal alien invaders can they house in that place? The crumbling state of CA will buy it.

If all the criminal, illegal alien invaders had the same uniform on, we’d look like a nation under occupation.

The leftards never learn. They vote for their leftard pols who then stifle economic growth and levy burdensome taxes and regulations. The elite leftards flee their soiled nests but they fail to see the light in the error of their ways. Blinded hacks and choosing willful destruction, rinse and repeat. They may complain about hell but they choose to go there.

Hope he is supporting the old parents of that naïve young Irishwoman he supplied drugs to and who OD'ed when he dumped her.

That liberal needs to stay where he’s at. Let him live in what he advocates and votes for.

As a man, I agree, always hated that frantic, spastic kind of Jerry Lewis, Robin Williams “comedy.”

Hollywood’s dead. The perverts killed it and streaming finished it off.

A $28.9M asking price severely limits the number of potential buyers.
