I've lived in the desert my entire life (Las Vegas 17 years, then to phoenix for 3ish, then back in Vegas now. Almost 25. You have been such a big inspiration to turn my life around when I had no job and living in a motel with my dog. I paid for weeks of motel living with credit cards and food with credit cards... when I finally found a place and work within a week of eachother after living in a motel for almost 3 months.. I set on a path to rebuild... now I currently have a new car, 1 used as a project/show truck, an apartment, dog is healthy, I'm healthy, I'm in management after less than 1 year of being a mechanic and still soaring to new heights including financially with less than $100 of cc debt recurring and a personal loan for $6000 (before all that) paid off... idk if you read comments or care.. but I would love to have a chance to meet you since you're now in the best state and best town. It would mean a lot

Food for thought: Remember that California versus the other states are the way they are because of their fiscal policy. When people move out from California, they should consider a change to their policy mindset. If people moving out from California want to keep their old ideals, they need to remember that it comes at a very high cost. A large part of these ideals and fiscal policies are driven by the voters. Some would argue that how one votes can impact fiscal policy.

@pstwr 3 жыл бұрын

Yep, California has a huge wealth gap issue. As usual, California is just a little ahead of the curve, but as you see more Tesla's and Peloton's pop up in your area, watch out for the wealth gap issue to rear it's head in your neighborhood. You'll see the rich Californian's taking their wealth out of state to avoid the taxes. They'll take their wealth "creation" businesses to your area and enhance the wealth gap. For example, if a wealthy real estate investor leaves LA and heads to, say, NV, they will gradually pull local wealth up to the top. They'll outbid local investors, raise prices, and then rent those properties back to locals at higher than current market prices. In summary, if you hate what you see in California, you might actually hate capitalism. Because what it does, in the end, is push all the wealth to the very top, leaving the vast majority broke and destitute.

If only all the Californians leaving to come to this beautiful state don't bring the sh * t politics. Those that don't ACTUALLY realize that the result of LA becoming a sh * t hole is the democratic politics are extremely naive. There's no way you have the highest taxes in the country yet have no money to spend on programs for addiction and homelessness, the roads look like a third-world country, and the disparity between rich and poor there is astronomical. Oddly enough, LA represents all the things the common-man democrat vote against. I see it happening. Used to cruise into work uneventful. Now, I see at least one or two a **hole drivers rushing through traffic in a BMW like their time is more valuable than any other.
