I'm from California, I'm moving here, and I'm here to convert you!

Why not move to Tulsa if that's why he's moving?
TN no state income tax, and many parts of Nashville are Red.

Don't want to stay with what we have, tired of every argument having the ghosts of offices past as the main complaints, their not in office argue the here and now.

Yes, IMO, and I lived in Colorado for 30 years prior to moving to Wisconsin three months ago, and that is about 30% of the reason we left. (The main reason was because we wanted to live in a beautiful four-seasons climate in a rural community.)

I predict that most of the Colorado land area will remain rural except for the Front Range, and the wealthy will live in safe and affluent neighborhoods, and the poor will congregate to the cities and make a mess of them, just like L.A. and San Francisco. Democrats will continue to increase in power, and the rural people and the hard-working upper-lower and middle classes will have the choice of either (1) not having their voices heard (almost like taxation without representation), or (2) moving to another state if they can.

Before moving, my husband and I had not gone to downtown Denver is several years, even though we lived less than 20 miles from it, and this is why. (Don't watch if you are a liberal who is easily offended.)

Ben Shapiro leaving is good news. I'm deeply in favor of that.

Before the people of California moved to Colorado ... the state was just an insignificant place with the same importance as Kansas ... people lived mediocre lives ... without a big economy, without good jobs, people who lived a monotonous life without great prospects, at that time the brilliant people needed to leave the state because there was no future for them in Colorado ... it was the Californian immigrants who changed the history of the state, they brought the money, and the money provided new business ... changed the local economy, they made Denver a great economic and culturally important city for America. They put Colorado on the map.

So Ben Shapiro was bashing liberals for the better part of a decade, and only decided to live the liberal haven of California in 2020. It's like Alex Jones trashing liberals from Austin. Don't tell me Tucker Carlson's entire family lives in California too.

They keep saying stuff like I live in California, it's so bad here, but non of them actually leaving till now. At least Ben finally put his money where his mouth is. It reminds me of Paul Joseph Watson who only lived in London and L.A, and bashes both of them. If their so bad, why doesn't he just move to Glasgow or Newcastle or Tulsa.

Ben Shapiro going to Nashville is hilarious in it's own right. I thought he was trying to leave the preppy liberals behind.

Full no state income tax doesn’t start in TN for another 88 days (1/1/21).

It used to be just no state income tax on wages, and then TN decided to phase out the Hall Tax (on non wage income). The phaseout ends 12/31/20.

It is the other way around. The taxes are so high in the liberal state that price out middle income earners.

Consider NYC, the property tax doubled in 10 years. I spoke to mr friends and uncles and they said properly tax is quickly approaching 10k.

NJ is the same. A 4/2 home property tax is over 10k. In a nicer neighborhood would be 14k.

Just to be clear, property tax just one of the many other taxes imposed to us in the liberal states. No wonder people are leaving.
