The Great California Exodus (August: house, tax, to live)

[Californiaguy2007]

Traveling around California, I can assure you'll notice we don't have a shortage of people..If people are leaving that's a good thing, it helps stabilize a lot of things in our state.

Too late. I just picked up a 2003 F-150 with 229k for a song.

Please explain. It makes absolutely no sense. With less than the downpayment for the Bentley I can get a KIA, paid free and clear. And both will get you from point A to point B! You idiots that want luxury vehicles can have them. I'll take the Kia and live comfortable with more money in my pocket.

Easy, because they can. Doesn't matter in the end if a car is a car, you can apply the same thought to luxury goods made by Gucci and LV, 30,000 sq foot homes and etc.

Just as well. I promised it to one son and daughter-in-law. It's a 95 GMC mini van. Now I am driving another 95 GMC, but a one ton, with a short van box ... 10' in back and can stand up inside ... Freakin' Taj Mahal !!! And only 145,000 miles on the diesel ... Good to go fo' long time Joe ...

Stylin' in Califo'ni-a ...

But the more costly hitmen charge about the same as a downpayment, but they're often worth it, especially if the target is a big boss with lots of bodyguards.

Quantity may be stable, but quality is declining.

Some of you have been praying for California's bankruptcy and ruin for years now. Let's hope your prayers are never answered, because California really IS too big to fail - the rest of the country would follow her into ruin soon after.

Still another article about the slow death that California is experiencing. While many on these forums have commented that people leaving the state is a good thing, they have failed to take into consideration which group is leaving. Those that are the most productive are the ones bailing out on the future of this dysfunctional state. They are taking their companies, wealth, productivity, job skills, and work ethics with them. When most of those that are left are the drones with entitlement mindsets is when things are really going to get nasty.

Why would this be a problem?
