Even if Red Doofus is removed from office, California still has a staggering $40 billion deficit and a leftist legislature that is taxing and spending the state into 3rd world status. People on the dole own the ballot box in California. Their numbers increase daily with the illegals swelling the voting rolls. There is no way the politicians are going to cut the state largesse to their loyal voting block.

The article makes a neat list of all the reasons to avoid starting or remaining in business in California. Businesses large and small ARE leaving. The tax base is eroding.

The little 1334 sq ft house I sold in Feb 2001 for $242,000 is now on the market for $380,000. Tee hee. What fool would pay that kind of money? It was pricey when I bought it in 1983 for $105,000. I unloaded it at a time when there were still people with good paying jobs who could afford to buy it.

June 3rd marked the one year anniversary of the shutdown of Wingcast in San Diego. Over 200 people with salaries over $100K/yr were dumped. Many of them are still unemployed a year later. Many of them WERE homeowners. Some of them are unemployed homeowners with overpriced property that won't move.

My overall impression is that the folks preparing to leave are a bit slow observing what is going on around them. Better late than never.
