Ben Shapiro: Why I’m Leaving California

[colfax_m]

It's not just him but I think it's funny why anyone thinks anyone cares where they live.

Flagging that money is leaving the state. This is 'another one' leaving.

There’s so damn much money in California one is going to notice.

It is exactly the same phenomenon that led to the "Flight to Suburbia" a generation ago.

Leftists take over the city and it becomes so oppressive that the people who CAN leave do so. What remains is the ones who are too poor to leave and those who are rich enough not to give a shit.

Which is basically what California is becoming.

How California home prices hit record high despite coronavirus

California isn't going to even note he left.

Until it becomes an even larger migration.

It has been an even larger migration for the ones who pay most of the taxes

Yep, and as it increased, California can either wake up to that, or go even more broke. Either way, I left California in 98 just as it was starting to get bad and I have no plans of ever going back.

Be advised, we haven't missed you.

Like me, he wisely fled. Hits most of the key points without mentioning 49 other states have electricity and drinking water and don’t let their State burn all year. He’s taking his 75 employees with him as well as all of the taxes him and his employees paid.


“....... And still, the state legislature is dominated by Democrats. California is not on a trajectory toward recovery; it is on a trajectory toward oblivion. Taxpayers are moving out -- now including my family and my company. In 2019, before the pandemic and the widespread rioting and looting, outmigration jumped 38%, rising for the seventh straight year. That number will increase again this year.

I want my kids to grow up safe. I want them to grow up in a community with a future, with more freedom and safety than I grew up with. California makes that impossible. So, goodbye, Golden State. Thanks for the memories.”

My family and my company are leaving California. It's heartbreaking. My parents moved to California four decades ago. I grew up here. For 33 of the 36 years...

First the "Progressives" ruin the local school district, then the ruin the city council, then they ruin the city, then they ruin the state.......then they ruin the country

If not for Progressives, then things would be back like they were in 1776, with slavery, women and landless men unable to vote, etc.
We should thank Progressives.
If they had not invented things like unions, then the only alternative would have been communism.

no, the Left is opposed to democracy

Dumbest comment ^^^ of the century.

Yep, they're arrogant as hell....until they can't afford to be. Soon Newsom will be making his own groveling videos.

Be advised, I haven't missed any of you. I live a better life since I've left.

Great essay. Its a shame what has happened to California.

There just went a bunch of tax revenue.

Can you fucking imagine a 17% state incometax? What are those liberal morons doing with all that state tax revenue?

We know for sure it isn't spent on repairing roads.

Or cleaning up the forests.

Lets face it. Liberals couldnt run a lemonade stand. They are awful at governance.

17% state income tax. Just think about it.

AND EVERYTHING STILL SUCKS.

People come, people go.

The taxpayers go and the lettuce pickers come.
Good luck with that.

Lettuce pickers aren't causing housing in California to rise to record highs.

Are you referring to the wetbacks living 12 to a two bedroom shithole in Compton? The human cockroaches flushing blacks out?

I would have to say not.
