Git ‘er done, Golden State. It’s already working so well. From the guys at Reason TV, learn in five minutes why people are leaving California:

Tam’s Burger Stand will close in January of 2013 after its owner lost an appeal to the zoning board, which along with police, had decided his lawful business, run by a local family in a low-income neighborhood was a public nuisance. Ugh.

i have eaten there. The place is amazing, the best 99 cent hamburgers in the world.
Absolutely huge and delicious with very friendly employees.

I live in LB as well. Its both scary and hilarious to hear abt this trash can law. I bet there are countless laws that I violate every month, without the slightest clue. I feel like such an outlaw ;)

I just got back here. I lived here from 2005 to 2009 after Katrina destroyed my business and was stationed at Fort Hood from 1979 to 1981.

I've been here since 2005, but I don't ever tell fellow Freepers to 'stay home'. I had all sorts of ugly talk thrown at me, prior to relocating here from California. Still do sometimes.

I grew up in California (1960-74) but that was a different time and that place is never coming back. Obviously, the majority of present-day Californians are left-wing or the place wouldn’t be the way it is today, would it?

All correct, but those lefties aren't posting and reading on Free Republic. Your friends are.

The left reads FR, don’t kid yourself. Google your screen name here, they talk about us at length. And that’s who my comment was aimed at. I apologize for not making that clear. Of course I want conservatives to move here.

Don’t count on it. If they can get the land cheap and through eminent domain, there is probably a crony consortium aligned with government and Agenda 21 people that will foist some re-development onto the city. In fact, that would be a perfect spot for a revitalization project with apartments over first floor businesses and government offices. Please understand that local and federal tax money will be funding it so it will not have to be viable or profitable (think high speed rail).
