California's economy is so great, people there live in tents

Yeah but then they go and vote the same 💩 that they ran away from. Talking to many of these people in California, most of them came from New York btw, have no idea how their vote is at all connected to the quality (or lack thereof) of life here. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hopefully they leave their mindset in California because we don't want it in the rest of America.

That is what happens when people decided to turn California into a Sanctuary State and allow Homelessness become a serious issue.

If you're liberal, stay the hell out of all red states.

I love how they end the The segment with a shot of the beach at sunset. Why didn’t they focus A few hundred feet in land. See all of the drug attic‘s and homeless people taking a shit all over the place and stealing everything

And when you do leave, make sure you leave the ANTI AMERICAN extreme leftist views there as well. We don't want this in any other state besides New York.

PBS made a mistake cancelling NBR. The only balanced news they had.

Which political party is running California? That’s who should be blamed.

Another example in COMMIEFORNIA to register a NEW pick up truck on average ABOUT $1,200 _ $1,500 A YEAR , SAME TRUCK LET SAY SOUTH DAKOTA IS $40 ONLY !!! SEE THE DIFFERENCE ?

Been there man times and would love to live there but it’s too damn expensive. For no reason.

Folks from red states think the difference between their state and CA is like night and day. Having lived in CA and TX, I can tell you they're not all that different. The big cities are all flaming liberal, and the rural counties are all conservative (thank God for Texas' 254 counties vs California's 58). CA has Pelosi, TX has Beto and the Castro brothers. CA has high income taxes, and TX has high property taxes and fees. CA was Republican until the nineties, TX was Democrat until the nineties; they both show influences of the previous parties. The one thing TX has on CA is a respect for the 2nd Amendment, which is what I hope is bringing a lot of Californians to Texas.

Left California. Used our home equity to buy a house without a mortgage. Now we pay less in taxes and have more money for fun activities.

Born, raised, in California. Spent my youth on the beaches. Could have taken over the folks' house. But, as a frequent visitor, it was clear the entire L.A. area had turned into a 3rd world nightmare! It was so nice 25 years ago, and has become truly ugly today. Filth, decay, homeless, traffic, almost everywhere outside of one of those exclusive zip codes. Even 25 years ago there were days you were warned not to go into the water due to e-coli. Now, just imagine where all that human waste, used needles, etc. , power washed off the sidewalks goes ... into the storm sewers, into the L.A. River, and out into the ocean!

They move but they take their politics with them!! They then make the "new" place just like the place they left. Do everyone a favor stay where you are and quit screwing up other peoples lives.

I lived in California (SF Bay Area) from the late 1996 until 2012. Worked in the tech industry as a software engineer and then entered into management. Despite having a high tech salary, the place was outrageously un-affordable. Housing in the area I rented was massively expensive. Despite my area having a median salary of around $97,000 (my salary at the time was $136,000), the median house price was just over $1 million. So a ratio of 10 to 1. I rented for the duration of my stay and to keep costs down, I lived in one bedroom apartments for the majority of the time. Eventually, after seeing how classmates of mine were living in other areas of the country and could afford very nice homes despite having lower salaries than mine, I finally opted to move out of state. And it has been one of the most cathartic experiences. I now own (fully own, no mortgage) a 2700 sqr foot house in a beautiful community that cost me less than $400,000 here but would be upwards of $2 million where I used to live. But the real eye opener was discovering that when you factor in taxes and other costs, even my lower salary where I live now provided me more after tax income than my high salary did in California. Now why is this problem so pervasive in California? Simple. Insufficient supply and too much demand. But the elephant in the room is the lack of supply is 100% self inflicted. It is due to the copious anti-development and government regulations in place in California that made housing construction very difficult. Zoning new land in California for development is nigh impossible due to the extensive environmental regulations. And getting permits for construction for buildings larger than two stories is a massive chore due to the earthquake threat. The end result is precisely what you are seeing here. The state is now not affordable and people are either living in their cars or on the street, or they opt to move elsewhere. Like I did. Sadly, I think at this stage the situation is too far gone for an effective resolution. The politics are too entrenched and people are simply fed up. The end result is an exodus of the middle class. This will have dire consequences for California in the coming decades. Once businesses realize they cannot hire the personnel they need to run things, they will opt to move to other states. This has already been happening and will accelerate. The government will move too slowly to compensate for the exodus and the erosion of the middle class will create a very disconnected situation whereby you will have the uber rich and then everyone else.

The rich are not effected by the crazy policies. The poor can’t get out. It’s the middle class that is fleeing. I grew up in Southern California. I left 21 years ago and it’s gotten much worse since. Would never go back.

They will regret moving to Portland. That place is a dumpster fire.

I really wish these people would stop moving here. All they do is drive up prices, while dragging down the area socially and politically. Stay in California. You created the mess, so live with it. Don't transfer your wackiness here.

Yup I'm gonna be leaving California 2020 soon as my house sells . cant take it no more it ain't all it used to be

But who will be stupid enough to buy the houses left behind in California?

If you want to live in a state that will always be red, move to Mississippi or Alabama.

40 million people. The quality of life sucked. Crowds everywhere.

$7200 a year for that big house? That’s cheap compared to property taxes on Long Island.

Californians are turning Nevada blue that's why when I retire I was going to move there but not any longer

Transferring from another state, and paying for my registration tags, it went from $38 a year to $140 for the same vehicle. I'm ready to leave.

There's a group there that basiclly feels, "We are free to do whatever we want, to anyone we choose to and if you don't like it than just leave." And many people are taking that option.

Too bad these people take their voting patterns with them and slowly turn their new city/state into the one they left.

Commiefornia...... stop voting for Pelosi, Schiff, Waters, you know democrats.

13.2% income tax California! Texas -Zero!

looks like they are running out of other peoples money.

My mother lives in Florida she says," people from Ca are moving here in droves".

We relocated from CA. 8.5 years ago to Tennessee. Best move we ever made. And we did not bring any CA. baggage with us. We are probably more conservative than most here. (I did not say racist ) I said conservative. I agree, if you move to get away from the liberal lifestyle, please leave it behind you. Don’t mess up your new area with the same old problems you left behind.

I would never even spend a penny of my tourist $ in California. I would rather go somewhere else. I do not agree with their politics.

What is that guy talking about Dallas Fort Worth has been kicking everyones ass on inovation for decades now . Also how are people supposed to create anything in a over regulated state.

As a lifelong Californian, my problem with the state is with increased water scarcity.. -We're always in drought mode, it seems.. The local water utility is always after us with threats of fines for over-watering.. But in order to garden, have fruit trees, etc., I qualify as an excessive user. But the stuff I like to grow, such as thornless blackberries, figs, peach, apricot etc.. all do extremely well here, IF! I can give them enough water.. And no, I'm not a commercial grower. Just a hobbyist, a sort of family tradition that I grew up loving during the 1950's and '60's.

"so she moved to Portland, Oregon" that was your first mistake

my friend left Jan 2019 SF bayarea and me June 2019

Taxes, gas prices, traffic, low pay, high rent and home prices, and it's TOO DAMN CROWDED.

Property taxes have doubled. When I left it was one dollar a foot now it's two dollars. Permits were 200 now they are 2500 or more.

you want to leave there, fine, just don't bring the crap you left with you

LOVED THE GEOLOGY,WEATHER AND BEING A SCOUT LEADER,I STILL LEFT.

Too much taxes..tax after taxes..citizens of California can't handle this issues anymore..tundra registration cost $700 dollars in California..in the state of Wyoming cost $80 dollars. Who will stay in California..🤯

I left and went to North Carolina for 5 months. It rained at least once a week and its flat as can be. Then to find out the ocean water there is like 80 degrees was not refreshing news. Humidity was the biggest hurdle also. I kept a sweat band in the freezer all the time and swapping them out every couple hours helped a lot. My new truck started rusting and my classic car sat so being a car guy I came back.

Working, tax paying people living CA should all leave and let the politicians support their illegals with their own salaries...

At 2:07 oh... I'm sure there is buddy... try looking at Texas and see the striking contrast in living conditions as well as business oportunity!

I left California in October, 2016 and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

It's not just individuals and families that are leaving but businesses are leaving as well. That means the tax base is getting smaller and there is less and less work available. Then, when you consider the taxes are getting higher and higher that is a big turn-off. Thing is, the citizens of the state don't get much from the taxes. The main industry for economic support in California is the tech industry. If that starts to leave the state will not be in good shape. As California is a "sanctuary state." This means the homeless population especially in the major cities are smaller cities on their own. As more and more homeless are coming to California and be without jobs and income money to care for them will have to come from somewhere. That means taxes on those already here working will have to be raised. Problem with that is that is as people and jobs will be leaving the middle class tax base will not be able to support the state. Where will this lead?

People's Republic of California?

Could someone help me move---Cal. doesn't seems to appreciate my talent and sick and tire of their gay agenda

The problem with this is when they get to a new place they vote for the same type politicians that caused the problems they ran away from.

No one has left California, I looked at the census through the years and it shows and increase in population every single year. 1990 is 30 million and 2020 is 39 million so WHO LEFT?? NO ONE!!

I can relate to enjoying being out in nature by yourself, its both very calming, the nearest thing to being able to meditate, while still being able to walk around. I still live in southern CA, I would describe it as a beach town that was never meant to be bigger then Ocean Beach, Here are some of my thoughts on southern CA 1. I have worked a variety of jobs here and never once made nearly enough money to afford even the smallest studio apartment in the low cost areas, its expensive, like crazy expensive. We got people living out of their vehicles here. 2. People who move to San Diego move here for emotional reasons (beach, weather), but they leave for practical reasons like a job or being able to buy a house 3. It has variety, but never takes itself that seriously, and that speaks to the beach town mentality. That is why people here rave about the weather and Mexican take out. For example, we do not have any great sport teams, but people live here because they can ride their bike or surf 12 months out of the year, not for the team sports. 4. SD is an ideal city, if you are looking for a new city to move to, even if you do not know anyone, because you can show up and just spend the day walking around down town or the beach. Whereas in alot of other USA cities, are too cold, too hot or are simply not built for casually walking around. I suspect SD is a popular city for people who want to just go off, and do things by themselves. 5. All the things I just listed, makes SD a melting pot of people, with no connection to anyone else here, as if the whole city is just hanging out until they move away (as many do) or go to the beach, again. All those people who are renting a room in a house, are not thinking about starting a family, they are thinking how much longer till they can get their own place, or will they end up having to move.

Born and raised in San Diego California. Worked four jobs just to break even. Left with my family in '91 and moved to Michigan. I quickly realized I would take the worst California has over the best Michigan ever had. Now I live in Florida thank God!

I'm in Canton, Ohio. Back in the early 80's two of my friends moved their families to California. One was an engineer in the aviation industry, the other was a semi-truck driver. They both bought affordable homes. Property values went up as well as property taxes. Around 10 years ago, they sold their homes for far more than what they had bought them for and left California with a substantial amount of money. One moved to Arizona and bought a home. The other and his wife moved back to Findlay, Ohio and bought a nice home and both still money left over. California is a classic example of what happens when run by democrats, and now they are experiencing a mass exodus of Californians and businesses leaving and taking California's high income tax source of revenue with them.

Remember the reason you left and don’t turn red states blue.

Only nice, educated, intelligent, god loving, patient, tolerant and beautiful people. Talking about others... hope that everything goes well in your life. Always 💕 from California with love 💕

OMG she moved to Portland ....I believe today is the 100th day of straight protests.

Left three years ago for Nevada. Best decision I ever made. It will take decades to fix what is ruin in occupied KaIifornistan. I don't have decades to wait when you are a 67 year old senior.

As a conservative woman born and raised in southern California, in my experience, it's often the people who move TO California who are the REAL liberals. Often my most liberal acquaintances and former colleagues over the years have been from out of state (Ohio, New York, Connecticut, and Indiana, just to name a few). Many (most?) of us leaving are fed-up conservatives who've realized "Californian dreamin'" has become a nightmare. The state continues to pass laws that are not family or small-business friendly and the "sunshine dollars" we get paid are not worth never being able to afford a home (seriously, housing prices are a JOKE!) or build a legacy for our children and grandchildren. My husband and I can't wait to leave (God willing) next summer.

I kept trying to change California by protesting at the Capitol steps. Then I left moved to Utah and now I really know what freedom is.

I just left LA a few months ago. The economics were a small part of it but the major reason was the people. People in LA are totally bizarre!

With the California Legislature considering a "Wealth Tax," the migration out of the State of California will only get worse.

Too crowded. Too expensive. Too dirty. Crazy politicians. Nashville and Texas are the places to go.

New York is experiencing the same thing.

I live in Los Angeles and it's a living hell!

If you decide to stay, you must either have a big saving account or nothing in there. Don`t be the guys who stuck in the middle like me.

As A 74 y/o native Californian. I can say it was much better when there were less people here. If you want to move out I will help you load the U-HAUL.

My family of four moved to Arkansas in january.. Greatest decision we ever made. No mortgage. Twice the home. Half price g as. no one asking for money. California is wrecked

I moved out of Ca. In June 2016.It has turned into a very scary place to live.Lived there 30 years.Watched the crime , taxes and Democrats pass more increases.The cost of living, housing, electricity, water have gone up 10 times! The DMV fees and most of all the gangs and crime!Very dangerous place to raise a family.Now, People who were born there and have family want to stay thinking " Its all good"! Lol! Oh Brother!!!😐

So... no joke, the lady from California with the new townhouse lives two blocks from me... she just moved from one hellhole to another. I'm moving to Montana or Wisconsin as soon as I graduate. X/

Newsom, Pelosi, Feinstein, Waters, Schiff, Saws All, whatta team whatta team.

my wife and I left San Francisco after living there for 30 years its really sad to see what the Dems have done to that once beautiful city its a filthy dump now :(

.....better life, better culture, education, income, lower taxes, and piece of mind- no riots. We were way ahead of the trend by 15 years.

Left 12 years ago..Best thing I ever did... l bought a house and paid for it.

The people who leave take their votes with them and it makes it more difficult for the rest of us.

I lived in Hawaii for 37 years before moving to Northern California 12 plus years ago due to Hawaii's over-population and high cost of living. We found NorCal (short for Northern California) to be much more affordable and yet we do not get any snow in the winter. Yes almost 200 K more state residents left California last year than moved into it but it still leaves 34 million residents and another 5 million (at least) illegals (95% from Mexico). Our 600 thousand dollar 5 bedroom, 3 bath two story home in a gated community that has a pool, pool house, playground, large park and a small lake inside it's boundaries would cost a couple of million in Hawaii so we are very happy to be here. I am a novelist and I have written and completed 13 novels since moving here 12 years ago. StocktonRob

#1 Problem from which sprout most other problems in California is the price of housing. It just doesn't leave enough to live on unless you have 12 working people sharing one house. The guy in the video said their property taxes were $7,200 a year. Taxes are capped at 1% of sale price plus 1% increase per year. That means they paid $720,000 or so for their house! No wonder they were having a struggle.

Interview the governor and ask him WHY.

I’m from California. Nashville and Austin are great places to move to! #MAGA20

High taxes , fewer jobs , no new housing , mmmm everything is expensive

Ok on one hand who can blame them? Hey I’m one of many who have left another bastion of liberalism, the people’s republic of massachusetts, that I was forced to leave due to health issues, so I could retire, only due to the fact my taxes an insurance had reached a level after continuously being raised over 20 years, on our dream house we built after three previous homes. So we left and went to Sunny/rainy Central Florida! Were we go around like two kids, amazed at how less the cost of living is down here! My taxes and insurance, are less than just my taxes were! Not to mention NO HEATING BILLS! Plus even though everything in our new home is electric, and in mass we had only lights and refrigerators and one dehumidifier, our electric bill was higher! Without AC! Now we have Central HVAC, and all LED lighting, for LESS! The people are wonderful, even though we live in a 55+ Gated Community, where most are from out of state. But the only feeling I get from the friendly locals is how they are worried how we will vote! It seams like over the years too many loyal liberal democrats have left the mess they helped create behind, but then come down here, without learning their lesson! They still go and vote for the name with a D next to it, while having absolutely no idea who they are, other than demoncRat! Back in mass, even though I’m a Veteran, have never been in trouble, knew the Police Chiefs in all neighboring cities/towns, there was NOWAY I could get a Concealed Carry License, but here in Florida I had mine in two months! Plus the wife and I took the Sheriffs course, got to meet who I feel is the best Sheriff in America, Sheriff Grady Judd, who has been in National news, telling folks that if you feel the need to come into Polk County, with the intent on breaking in to, or invading one of our citizens, he hopes you are able to Blow Them right Out of your window! I know it’s the same way with the folks leaving californication! No one else wants their voting habits!

Right , when you don’t have a way to earn a living and care about people . That will surely drive you into poverty . Be selfish .

I was in L.A. back in the mid 1980's , man is was beautiful, a tourist dream. Or it was so for myself. So when I retired in 2015 we decided to take a cruise on the west coast, WOW what a change, when we flew into the airport and went outside the smell hits you, when you drive through to the ports the sights horrify you. I was thinking how could anyone allow this to happen. Please don't bring this with you if you decide to leave California. Please Please Please

They didn’t mention that often those cutting edge tech companies have to subsidize their new employee’s housing requirements by purchasing apartment/condo communities and allowing their employees to live there at reduced rates. Either that or pay them far more so that they can survive. California is a beautiful money pit...and you can’t eat scenery.

I grew up in So, Calif, but I finally moved out of the liberal state and mod to a red state in 2010, away from illegals, minorities, expensive housing, traffic and unemployment. My new 9 years old house cost less than 25% of my house in Calif.

They need to build the wall to go north between California and Nevada, keep the trash where it belongs. They made their bed now need to sleep in it.

California has really went down in the past couple decades. I been here over 70 years and if I was 30 - 50 I would leave but now I'm gping to finish out here mostly because of the weather.

I've done home care in and around SF and Daly City as i was surprised at the amount of people that are packed into 1,2 and three bedroom homes....And I'm not sure that most people realize that as they ogle the homes, past those walls live extended families literally stacked on one another...My wife works for a large property management firm in the downtown of SF and she says there are six people in two bedroom apts....crazy!!

200,000 decent income, tax paying individuals a year loss is actually a pretty big deal. It will make a difference for California because the people are valuable.

In California, what are the property taxes on a tent in a public park?

Unless you wish to vote Republican...STAY in California. You ruined that state don't ruin mine.

People still come, trust me! People want to live paychecks here.

California has great weather, beaches, and a lot of high paying jobs. But it is very expensive, and the people leaving are the ones who don't earn enough to live here comfortably. The cost of housing in many other states is half the cost in California. The exodus is economic driven.

I'm not surprised. California is too expensive. I'm leaving California in 2 years. Retirement plan to Oregon. Currently living in Saratoga Ca 95070

I'm leaving California next May.

I'm 68 years old. 8f i had the money? I would be gone away from here!!

Move to Texass: Leads the nation in worker deaths and on the job injuries. TX is also first in minimum wage jobs.

You couldn't Pay me enough too live anywhere in Cali. !!!!!!!!!!

When you move, don't vote for the same brand of idiots whose policies forced you to leave California. Don't ruin your new state.
