Irvine business relocation specialist Joseph Vranich has added another 12 companies to his growing list of companies that are moving part or all of their operations out of California.
I first noted the list when it had 100 companies. It’s now up to 129 names.
“It’s no mystery what causes companies to leave California: high taxes, undue regulation, workers’ comp costs, a legal environment stacked against businesses, and lengthy and costly construction permitting requirements,” Vranich says

I wonder how far behind Mass is... lord knows they have the same environment.
Yes. And Virginia welcomes them...
They’re just jumping out of the toilet bowl in preservation.
Before long, watch for members of the California legislature to write laws prohibiting companies from leaving... to be followed by similar measures in NY, NJ and others... Just a thought. We really could be approaching the end-times.
The CA electorate bears some responsibility for this depressing state of affairs. It has elected year after a year a bunch of hardcore radical socialists to the state legislature which has essentially turned CA into another Greece.
Also CA’s lax attitude towards illegal immigration, refusal to drill for oil, depriving farmers of much needed water, expanding the state work force, and having among the nation’s highest state tax rates have compounded all of these problems. I know. I live here.
The state is driving out successfull businesses and entrepreneurs and ringing the dinner bell for more impoverished illegal aliens to sneak across the border creating a perfect disaster for total collapse and armageddon.
California Democrats are busy turning the state into Kentucky.
Kentuckians, I’m not trying to insult your state, because I’m sure you have many fine people there, but California is destroying it’s economic future. And that economic future is going to look a lot like the back hills of Kentucky.
It causes me much sadness to see what California’s politicians have done to my state.
More tech firms moving to Colorado Springs, CO. Very conservative area, and business friendly.
Calif. State Auto Assoc. moves to Colorado Springs.
And as fast as the wealthy are fleeing California....
Illegals from Mexico and Arizona are flooding in.
I’m glad that companies are saying that they can’t find qualified people in California. I’ve seen this coming for years. This should open the eyes of people in education, but I doubt it. When you have as many illegals as California, that have no education what so ever, companies will loose.
I am not from California, but like Gulliver, it is so sad to watch this giant fall and be lashed to the ground by liberalism. Further, as the bell weather of the nation, as California goes, so goes the US.
The warning have been there all along, from Detroit to New York we see what liberalism does, and now we are seeing it play out on a statewide basis.
Soon if a business chooses to leave CA it'll have to leave empty handed, if the loonies in charge have their way.
AZ might be a good place to go...
“The government of California, trying its best to make California as prosperous as post-reconstruction Mississippi.”
How would one enforce that? It couldn’t possibly hold up in Federal court.
ROFLMAO...
While a law prohibiting a company (or individual) from leaving the state would be plainly unconstitutional, I do wonder why these states haven't tried to levy some kind of "departure" tax on these companies. There is some precedent on the federal level, as the FedGov levies a kind of exit tax on people giving up their US citizenship. I'm not agreeing with it, but I'm surprised they haven't yet tried it.
In California, I could absolutely see the leftist imposing some kind of "abandoned building" fee, a employee layoff tax, or other such things. It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
Californians need to stay in California, yall created this hell hole and now you want to spread the diease to the rest of the west? Screw California and screw the cowardly Californians that will not stay and fight for thier state.
