Biggest problem with Utah is housing prices almost as high as California and wage scales almost as low as Arkansas.

There are lots of people fleeing California and bidding up real estate prices.

And yet Trump has his biggest issues with Romney and Lee.
I would chuck them out of the GOP.

The same thing is happening here in Idaho. Idaho has 1.8 million people. California has 39.8 million people. California is 22 times bigger than Idaho.

It doesn’t take many political refugees from California to completely swamp small states like Idaho and Utah.

House prices here have doubled in the past few years. Property taxes are going up. Wages are not going up anywhere near fast enough to compensate for the ex-Californians bidding up real estate prices. The locals are incensed.

But there isn’t much that can be done. Maybe California could oust the radical leftists from government and restore sanity to the state. There’s a better chance that the sun will rise in the west tomorrow morning.
