California wealth tax

This could have been prevented if Trickle-Down economic theory actually worked.
 
They're coming here to Idaho, to Bend, OR... or Austin, TX with Joe Rogan.
 
Na, they already pay more to live in CA. Its their business and social network. Its worth the money.
 
They are in TX. Why wouldn't they here? Florida has too many low paying jobs.
Companies are moving to Texas because Texas is going out of its way to attract business. Those companies are bringing jobs. Individuals are not bringing jobs. Those individuals are more than happy to bring their voting proclivities with them though.
 
Why would you willingly want to exist in a state full of the most batshit crazy left wing insane people in this country? CA is a cesspool occupied by drug users and wastes of life

Every pro sport nearby. Highest GDP state. Tons of career opportunities, 40% higher average household income than Florida. Snowy mountains and warm sandy beaches in the same day. Wine country. Plenty of reasons to want to live there. Cost of housing is high...for those exact reasons that I mentioned.

I used to live in San Diego when it was at it’s peak. When I visited my mom a year and a half ago, it wasn’t the same. California has too many people and that has destroyed it. Housing prices far exceed income and are way overpriced. Wildfires ARE A MAJOR issue throughout the state. Traffic is terrible, beaches are becoming rundown and crime is at an all-time high

Florida isn’t far behind as the population has doubled in a short time. New Yorkers and soon Californians with money will drive housing prices up for new homebuyers

Just compare Clearwater Beach from 1996 to 2020 and it’s just not the same. Sad really

Agree. Florida is becoming bad. South FL has already jumped the shark.

Visit LA or SF - and take in the stunning views of homeless tent cities that span the horizon, with picturesque glimpses of syringes, synthetic drugs, human feces, and urine coated sidewalks.

Come see how well this drug user tent city charm blends with the small businesses that exist mere 10 feet away!

You just described Venice Beach at night perfectly. I was there in 1993 and again in 2017. Night and day
 
So homelessness in LA...

Saw something the other day that mentioned homeless housing projects so just decided to look it up. What is the answer here?


A subtext of the celebration, however, was the certainty that, with homelessness increasing, all of the housing funded by Proposition HHH would not be enough to keep up.

Even that goal of 10,000 units is now too small, as it was based on past homeless counts when the population was smaller. With the number of people living in tents and makeshift shelters on the city’s streets ballooning to 27,000 out of 36,000 overall, and the number of chronically homeless Angelenos increasing, the current pace of construction is not keeping up.

“Prop. HHH and Measure H are a down payment,” Buik said, tacitly suggesting that additional tax measures may be proposed in the coming years.

Hopefully LA's attempt works out better than San Francisco's has.
