We moved from Northern California to Texas 6 years ago. Best move we could have made. Love it here. Not all of those moving from California are wild eyed leftist, a lot are rock conservatives.
Hate to break it to you, but both Texas largest cities, Houston and Dallas has substantially more crime per captia than does Los Angeles, Ca.
Yes, since you seem to want to frame this around only one aspect of living in LA. You ignore the freaking tax rates, you ignore the socialization of Kalifornia because people like you think that it’s OK to give away freedoms in order to feel safe. You don’t care that the rest of the country disdains Kalifornia, because it seems to be the birthplace of communist policies that are spreading throughout the country. You ignore the fact that you have to make 3 to 4 times what you make in just about any other part of the country, just to buy a crappy 1500sqft spec home there. Why don’t you people get some balls and vote some real conservatives into office there instead of the communists that you love so much. I know whereof I speak. Because I grew up there, Ilived there! I was a cop there! And my name ain’t Freddy, Francis!
Yes or no?
Yes, because numbers are just that, numbers, and you can manipulate them to say whatever you want.
But...but...it's for the children!

How dense are you? The above are not *my* numbers or stats...
I don't think tourists are going to make up for the Billions of $'s chased out of the state with his spending habits and high taxes. Oh and fees.
Plus the crime and illegal criminal insurgent invader (which he encourages) problems it causes will be an attractive incentive.
Come to California, be mugged, killed and raped in several exotic languages!
