California

[archives]

The thing is young people are going to continue to want to come here (at least for the foreseeable future). People want to go to LA and try and break into the entertainment industry. People want to come to Bay Area, work for a Facebook, Google or Apple or the next big tech start up to get rich. These folks are young and without family and they are willing to live five people in a two bedroom apartment because that's all they can afford.

Once you start a family and realize you have to pay over $1m to get a small home then people start re-evaluating. Anyway, seen this through a couple of cycles now. A lot going on in Cali.

Has the reason people migrate to California ever been any different?

You can make that as bold and large as you can but the point will never sink in with the Trumpkins, right over their head

It will sink in if we stop feeding the government.

We contribute the most but don't have a say.

how fucking ass backwards is that? Some racist fucks in bumfuck kentucky have more say in our country that millions in CA and NY.

the system is flawed and its up to white america to fix it.

He's stupid.

people aren't flocking out of CA.......it's a right wing myth.

However, I do wish his dumb ass would pack up and leave........wonder why he lives in a state he can't stand?

Nope, land of opportunity. The difference today is a family like mine couldn’t migrate to California like we did in 1981.

How about we stop giving the government money.

Every state for themselves................

Lets see who lasts.

But then, there's this:

US states with shocking debts bigger than some countries

California, $151.3 billion, more than Finland

Like many states, California is struggling to meet its retirement benefit obligations, but it wasn’t always that way. During the 1990s and early 2000s the California Public Employees Retirement System was fully funded. During the Great Recession of the late 2000s it took a $100 million hit, and currently it reports gaps of almost $140 billion between its estimated obligations to retirees and the current value of its assets. The CIA estimates Finland's public and private debt at $150.6 billion, which is just less than that of California.

The economy of California is the largest in the United States, boasting a $3.0 trillion gross state product as of 2018. As a sovereign nation (2018), California would rank as the world's fifth largest economy, ahead of India and behind Germany.

This country couldn't survive without CA economy.

I thought Baghdad Bob was dead. Looks like he is alive and well in California.....

Maybe you can answer this for me. Rich people don’t pay taxes and corporations don’t pay taxes. And we have a shrinking middle class in California. So where does all this money come from that we (California) supposedly give to other states?

You saying they can't find a place no where in California? Or are your comments based on your experience in SF and what you know of LA and not the entire State?

How California Became America’s Housing Market Nightmare

California, the land of golden dreams, has become America’s worst housing nightmare.

Recent wildfires have only heightened the stakes for a state that can’t seem to build enough new homes.

The median price for a house now tops $600,000, more than twice the national level. The state has four of the country’s five most expensive residential markets—Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Orange County and San Diego. (Los Angeles is seventh.) The poverty rate, when adjusted for the cost of living, is the worst in the nation. California accounts for 12% of the U.S. population, but a quarter of its homeless population.

How did we get here? Simply put, bad government—from outdated zoning laws to a 40-year-old tax provision that benefits long-time homeowners at the expense of everyone else—has created a severe shortage of houses. While decades in the making, California’s slow-moving disaster has reached a critical point for state officials, businesses and the millions who are straining to live there.

Don't know, but it is a valid point, those select Blue States as California and most of the NorthEast pay more in Federal tax than they get in return, where the opposite is true for a lot of Red States, taking from one to pay for the other

So you have proof that Esther Trattner, who authored the results, is a liar??

So did any of that answer the question I asked "cawacko," they can't find a place no where in California? Or are your comments based on your experience in SF and what you know of LA and not the entire State?"

And no one could probably pay those that live in California to live where you live
