We lived in California for 19 years. We loved the state. There is so much to do, the weather is pretty terrific and it is just plain beautiful. In 2009, my husband's company picked up and left the state. So we moved with the company. I also have a friend just south of San Francisco who has lived there for 35 years. She owns her house and is an employee of the state. She doesn’t even think she can afford to retire there. It makes me so sad to think California will fail. But I think it must. The USA cannot afford to help.

Isn’t the supertrain a way out? Of course, libs, being stupid beyond belief, will never see it that way.

Cant say I blame anybody for fleeing Mexicalifornistan. Unfortunately, many of the fleeing Californians are the same leftist asshats who voted in the mess there. Alot of those are now in Texas, bringing their "values" and lifestyle with them.

You had to look for it.

40 percent of Californians don’t pay any income tax.

Fleeing Californicans, do not come to the South, you'd not ne happy there. We are nothing but a bunch of toothless rednecks that hang dead deer from out front porches and consider any spectacle with the number 500 in it a cultural event. We think the movie Deliverance was a documentary.
You'd feel more at home in Yankeeland and will fit right in. Go there.

all of the subsidies the state (California) lavishes on renewables, green jobs only make up about 2% of California's private-sector work forceno more than they do in Texas. LOL! Now that's funny. And we have all the "evil" drillin going on too.

CA will crash. It’s on an unsustainable trajectory. If the economy turns areound, it may see a brief respite, but the crash is inevitable.
Too many people hold out hope that CA will be positively rebuilt after said crash, but let me point out that the same cast of characters will still be at the table after said crash.
My view is that CA will deteriorate to near 3rd world status and suck the life out of the fed and other US taxpayers.

"hang dead deer from out front porches"I do see them hanging from trees in front yards on occasion, but you are right. They shouldn't come here. They'd be MUCH happier somewhere else. :p

A little known law in Arizona now requires Californians arriving here to spend 2 months working on a cattle ranch. After 60 days, the owner of the ranch will report to Arizona on the willingness of the immigrant to work & not complain about life, coworkers, cattle or saddle.
If the state receives a negative report, the prospective immigrant is returned to California with an “L” branded on their forehead...

My employer is moving my job out of the state this summer. Because they can.

Great news from here in Massachusetts!
We’ve lost a House seat, due to our declining population!
No need to thank me, but please tip your waitress on the way out. ( /rim shot)
To: ClearCase_guy
Exactly. They don’t once mention the invasion. Amazing how millions of third worlders have encroached on CA and according to this article has had no effect whatsoever on the ‘exodus’
To: TurboZamboni
No different when the new england left for the south. What they find when they move is most of the culture they left can not be rebuilt where they go. No matter how they try.
Now you can see who voted for who in the republican party for pres and you choose your candidate and thats where most of the folks went.

This is horrible news. It means all those leftist mAssholes moved elsewhere and are now infecting perhaps a perfectly good Southern state. States like Mass, Md, and Ca are like Marxist tumors, when they metastasize it is going to get ugly...
