Even the illegals are fleeing California -- and half the state's voters want out, too

California, whose new leftist governor, Gavin Newsom, has big ambitions to be the counter-president for now, and eventually replace President Trump, has this one little problem that always comes of socialist rule:

The locals are fleeing.

And now it turns out half the ones who haven't fled are thinking about it.

Just over half of California’s registered vote have considered leaving the state, with soaring housing costs cited as the most common reason for wanting to move, according to a new poll.

Young voters were especially likely to cite unaffordable housing as a reason for leaving, according to the latest latest UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll conducted for the Los Angeles Times. But a different group, conservatives, also frequently suggested they wanted to leave — and for a very different reason: They feel alienated from the state’s political culture.

That just-over-half figure cited by the Los Angeles Times is actually 54%, broken down by 40% Republican and 14% Democrat voters. They want out and are dreaming of new lives in states where jobs are forming and housing isn't just for billionaires. Walk around any place in California and recognize that half the people you meet are people who want the hell out.

But it's not just registered voters. Despite that vast banquet of goodies California has offered to migrants with zero regard to immigration status -- sanctuary protection, drivers' licenses, automatic voter registration, ballot-harvesting privileges, free education well beyond K-12, a vast NGO/church network set up with state funds to 'serve' illegals, free housing, free health care for the pregnant, no need to learn English, and coming soon, free health care for illegals up to the age of 26, --even the migrants, both legal and illegal ... are fleeing.

Democrats use the power of their office to give money in return for votes. They take money from those who work, and give it to those who don’t, and who vote democrat.

If you promise free things, the public is too stupid to know the truth, and votes for you.

Trump doesn’t give anything free, and lets people keep more of the money they earn. He gets infinite amounts of hatred for that.

“According to recently released data from the US Census, about 38,000 more people left California than entered it in 2018. This is the second straight year that migration to the state was negative, and it’s a trend that is speeding up. Every year since 2014, net migration has fallen.”

With the speeding up of the disappearance of actual citizens in the state, at some point in the future the illegals are going to supply enough “voters” to back their own candidate. And when an illegal gets in control of California’s economy and raw materials, depleted as they are, it is going to create a real problem nationally. And then we all will have to put up with trying to deal with a rogue state.

And if you don’t think it can happen, then ask how and why the civil war happened or even the westward migration of the original settlers. They didn’t like the status quo so they went somewhere and changed it. Anything from gold, to better land, religious freedom, and the privilege of having your say in your life, all were factors. There is a comparison.

Subdivide your California house into 3 parts.
Put 4 mattress bunk beds into each part.
Bathroom and kitchen are shared space.
You can rent to 12 people now.

Single Family zoning is dead in Calif.
The future is multi family, dense high level living.

Multi Family zoning is Anti Family.

That fat, older man propositioning your daughter, is your family neighbor.

I'm in IT. Most of my earlier life was spent east of the Rockies, in places like Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Before taxes and housing costs made life unbearable in those states.

I took a job in Riverside CA. That's where I damaged my lungs, according to my pulmonologist. And watched the neighborhood morph to foreign-born in the short time I was there.

That didn't last long; fled to northern Nevada, where I've been ever since. Now on 24-hour oxygen therapy, working from home (at my employers request, I might add, before the therapy started), watching Clark County going further blue toward ultraviolet.

This in spite of a number of Cali people trying to entice me to leave the Silver State and go into the Golden State. My answer:

No.

The Californicators created a huge problem by electing the boneheads in their legislature and the complete d1ckhead in the governor’s mansion and the communist attorney general. Now rather than fix the problem they created by voting the b@st@rds out. They are fleeing a problem they created. I wish they would flee north to Oregon or Washington or west to New Mexico. Unfortunately, they are fleeing to Arizona and Texas where they will Californicate those states.
