Escape from LA! Jim Carrey becomes the latest celebrity to list his sanctuary $28.9M mansion ... but with the likes of Mark Wahlberg and Elon Musk fleeing Gov. Newsom's tax hikes on the rich as the city crumbles, will there be anyone left to buy it?

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.

He’ll probably follow Nancy Pelosi and move to Florida.

“...after announcing his plan to retire from acting.”

Thank God for small favors! Ugh. As much as I, as a woman, HATE ‘The Three Stooges’ style of comedy, I hate Jim Carrey even more!

CA is toast. But, as goes CA, so goes the Nation. Can’t hardly WAIT for ‘President Gruesome’ to take the helm.

*SPIT*

Retirement from acting at 61. Not bad.

Maybe Newsom should offer tax breaks to Chinese nationals and to Chinese corporations.
That might help revive the market.

Yes he does. I hate this ahole. Never thought he was funny, he thinks socialism is swell and is just another America hating Canuk.

Jim Carrey is a demented POS, even for California.

Shouldn’t that be “Fleeing”?

He’s actually a good actor, one of the best who’s never won an Academy Award. I think being on Epstein’s list has really turned him into evil. He knows the truth is going to come out.

He simply needs to have his realtor list it in an L.A.-area Chinese-language newspaper. Carrey would have the added pleasure of selling to our eventual overlords.

Donate it as a homeless shelter and a refuge for illegal aliens.

Politically, Carey brings out the Messenger Of Karma in me as it brings out The Huntress in you.

Go get 'em Diana!

I guess the older I get the crankier I get. I'm heart broken at watching hordes of grubby Third World garbage pouring in here demanding things they're not entitle to.

I work with them and expats from places like Britain, Greece, Poland and lots of former Warsaw Pact countries and all of them, ALL of them tell me “In my country the healthcare is free. In my country we don't have guns’’.

I reply to them “So what are you doing here?’’ They're here only to use America as an ATM for their families back in what ever s**thole they ran away from. God how I hate them.

This story highlights a looming problem for every real estate owner in the state of California. If you wait long enough to be one of the last ones out, there won’t be anybody left to sell to. Prices will crash, and people will be faced with losing all their equity, and then some, if they really want to get out.

What’s with the pattern on his coat? Is that a “Scotsman on acid” tartan?

His best part was un-credited as a doped up punk-rocker in the last Dirty Harry Movie “The Dead Pool” in 1988. He died of an over dose.
