Very big, in the shopping center world they would be the anchor tenant.

I did some work there 8 years ago. The people I worked with were conservative, family-oriented and hard working. One of them confirmed this story last night. Many will stay in California because of family ties. Some may try Nissan, literally right down the road.

Not sure what’s left of Nissan. They moved their US HQ to Tennessee in 2006. Got to wonder what Honda/Acura is thinking right now. They are in Torrance, as well.

I think Gov.Perry has read “Atlas Shrugged” and is trying to turn Texas into “Galt’s Gulch”.

Can we have an immigration criteria and only take the ones we want?

I’ve spent a good deal of time in Long Beach and Torrance. Toyota ‘owns’ that place.

Several years, my backside.
They will get out of Dodge ASAP.
Every single day they stay is another day for the California Legislature to devise rules & taxes on those intent on departing.
There already is a bill in committee to TAX ANYONE leaving California....even those who die there.

5000 socialists to move to Texas.
They'll have plenty of company.

Well the citys so big nobody knows where it starts or where it ends
If youve got the money you can buy you up a lot of friends
Cause theyll take anybody who drives a nice car
Got a place just for you up in Highland Park
If I dont ever go there itll be all right with me
Chorus
Cause I dont live in Dallas I live in Texas
Where we aint got no hockey
And no damn metroplexes
I dont live in Dallas I live in Texas
And if I dont ever go there itll be alright with me
Now Benny Hinn comes on Sundays everybodys gonna go sing along
Cause they cant start their football til all wide receivers post bond
Youre a whole buncha yuppies with nothin to do
But keep Isuzu in business you all know its true
Id like to sell you to Oklahoma if they could only afford you

...... The State of California blatantly ignores the simple law of nature in which things move along "The path of least resistance." They see the tax/producer base shrinking and the cost of government rising. Thus, due to their core Keynesian Economic philosophical beliefs, believe that this necessitates the raising of taxes and fees to increase State revenues.
.... The California government absolutely ignores the reason why businesses and taxpayers are fleeing the state .... IS because of those ever rising taxes and fees that make it unfeasible to do business in the state. Thus following the natural law of the Path of Least Resistance.

“Yes, because as we all know, there are no conservatives in California.
Geez.”
Yeah, Like Ronald Reagan and a bunch of his people who made up the WH staff and filled cabinet positions. Then there’s our good friend Jim Robinson and his staff. Some Freepers need to get a grip! Actually, having large businesses like Toyota leave may ultimately be a good thing for California. It was a much better place to live when there weren’t 35 million people here. Just think about the number of illegal Mexican gardeners who will have to move to Texas just to cut the lawns for 5300 white collar workers! Works for me!

I'm surprised the CA politicians haven't tried the “Maryland eminent domain” threat.

Look for the NTSB to find all 2015 Toyotas have new mysterious ghost acceleration issues and need immediate recall followed by fines.

The Toyota people that move to Texas will be in for a BIG SURPRISE when they retire. Their ‘friends’ back in Sacramento will come looking for their Income Tax money from their pensions, 401k, and other tax-deferred income.
I heard about that 25 years ago and IMMEDIATELY started planning my move to Texas, which was quickly executed. Something that I NEVER regretted.

Of course they did; but not on steep incline or whatever. They were built back then with bubble gum and chicken wire.
