A mysterious and controversial billboard warning people against moving from California to Texas looms over passersby in LA and San Francisco this week.

[TXBlair]

Yes! More of this, please.

“A mysterious and controversial billboard warning people the tax base against moving from California to Texas…”

Fixed it. Someone’s getting desperate.

[roving]

My guess CA paid for it to try and stop the bleed of people fleeing the state

Florida has alligators, rattlesnakes and hurricanes.

Liberals from California need to stay away from Florida.

For conservatives Florida’s a wonderful place to call home.

And these things don't happen in California?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Hey, alligators got to eat, too.

[clearcarbon]

I don’t suppose you see too many “Welcome to California, Now Go Home” signs anymore.

[logi_cal869]

Brilliant.

[BereanBrain]

I live in Texas. Where can I contribute to putting more of those billboards up?
I don’t want the Libs to move here.

[Allegra]

I’ll chip in.

[Beowulf9]

Does the sign include a footnote:

*Please don’t bring up the Manson Family.

[lightman]

That reminds me of the Yankee version of “Dixie” sung during the Civil War:

“O I wish I were in the land of traitors,
Rattlesnakes, and alligators,
Then away, then away, then away, to the fight!”

Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik say hi.

[Texan5]

I’ll scrape up for a contribution, too-we don’t want them out here in the rural areas, either-the few that are here don’t even get why there aren’t streetlights on one lane little roads, why people being armed is normal, and whine because the nearest big box is over 20 miles away-they need to stay in Cali...

[1riot1ranger]

Hope they heed the sign. Geez, they could make a life altering mistake moving to Texas.

“Texas sucks, go back to California and tell your friends”.
