Maybe they are leaving because God is calling them out of there before the big quake, epicenter under San Francisco.
Answer = It’s the cost of living.

California...coming to a state near you.
Good . . . makes it nicer for those who choose to stay
We need to get control of our border with California.
The world’s seventh largest economy and they can’t balance the budget. Note tagline.
I used to love California. When I was a kid (early 60’s)we vacationed every summer either in San Diego or Santa Barbera. Now, it is truly the “land of the fruits and nuts”. Pretty soon, the only people that will be in CA will be illegals, gang-bangers, homos, and Hollywierd types.
The unions also have a stranglehold on things here, and big bucks to do it with. John and Ken just were talking about how the Gov wants state employees to take 2 days w/o pay a month to help balance the budget. It’s a great idea. The State Controller, Chang (or a name similar to that) agreed. But then the unions got to him. He changed his mind, said it was NOT possible. The unions are threatening to sue him and the Gov. J&K suggested that if he didn’t bend over, they would have refused to fund his election like they did last time.
Big Time union stranglehold here. Libs up in Sacramento (State Government) also have a stranglehold after gerrymandering districts to fit their needs. They want to create a Liberal Utopia and will not agree to cut ONE THING from the overinflated budget.
They can all go home, imho. We’d be much better off.
Less even than sixty years ago California had the fifth largest economy in the World. Many Nations couldn’t touch the Golden State.
It made sense for the Left to screw it all up, and they did.
PS — and then of course we are giving every illegal alien a free college education, just about. And any number of other benefits that we ‘regular folks’ pay for but do not get ourselves.
As someone with roots in PA I resent the comparison. Here in PA we still have our guns.
Absolute BS. The California economic mess is mainly a problem of incompetent leadership. California has a massive spending problem. Revenue is way up, but no amount of revenue can keep up with the horrific increases in spending voted in by the idiotic liberal legislature and a moronic electorate that never saw a bond-issue they didn't like.
Even problems like Prop 187 are state problems. Prop 187 was passed prohibiting state spending on illegal immigrants, from welfare to school spending to instate tuition for college. A liberal California court struck down the law as unconstitutional. Republican Governor Pete Wilson appealed the law, but when Liberal Gray Davis was elected Governor, he withdrew the appeal.
California is stewing in a mess primarily of its own making. No doubt Presidents from Clinton to Baby Bush sought to flood California with illegal immigrants, but that was only a minor problem, especially in light of attempts to deny them services.
California is the reason it is facing bankruptcy and the dramatic problems in California are the reason that anybody with brains and means is getting the hell out. I'm bound here by my golden handcuffs, but as soon as I retire, I am out of here for the green hills of Virginia myself.
I think the count-down at this point is, 10 days until California is insolvent...
Liberalism is ruining the state. To many stupid people keep electing these fools to office.

Good Luck with all that victim crap BILL!
