3263 California is losing population

Cap'n Bob thinks it's more than the cost of housing (what would cost about $350,000 here would be about a million in California). Here's a few of the problems he sees:

California is a state where:

  • income taxes are extremely high
  • sales taxes are extremely high
  • property taxes are extremely high
  • gasoline taxes are extremely high
  • courts are generally soft on criminals
  • immigration laws are not enforced
  • a half-million illegals and supporters clogged the streets of Los Angeles
  • vehicle emissions controls are unreasonably severe
  • congressional districts are gerrymandered to assure Democrats stay in power
  • judges make rulings for political reasons rather than upholding laws
  • unreasonable environmental laws cripple business and industry
  • a jury acquitted OJ Simpson of murder despite compelling evidence he was guilty
  • extreme firearms laws exist that violate citizens’ second amendment rights
  • cities like San Francisco attract and cater to degenerates

I would give the standard California answer - please leave paradise to those of us who love it, but I actually don't want that result.

I'm OK with more folks coming and sharing in this incredible land, and driving up my property values. $1,000,000 now buys you a 4 bedroom, 3 bath 2500 sq foot house on the West Side of LA. That is if you don't get too close to the ocean.

By the way, I need some help debating the atheists over on my blog, http://ideaplace.blogspot.com
