California Exodus

As a life long California Resident and Bay Area Native I have seen the area grow to a global powerhouse. I am now watching the repercussions of our state elected officials come to reality. In the past week the following major organizations have announced they are relocating their corporate headquarters to Texas:
Tesla
Hewitt Packard
Oracle
I wonder now who will be the next to leave.

Hopefully they leave their employees in California to keep voting for the **** show they're in now.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
People are leaving California in droves now that remote work is here to stay.

Problem is they are taking their politics with them and doing their best to make their new home just like California
Regrettably this isn’t new. I have an ex who’s family left California specifically Santa Monica, in like the early 90’s. She said the big reason was cost of living and a huge homelessness problem.
My mom briefly lived and worked in the Bay Area as her first husband was stationed there. Said it was a really pretty state. It’s a shame it’s managed so poorly.
Have to be honest, I only lived in California for three years. I was actually stationed at LAX and lived in Long Beach 1989-92. I liked it a lot, yes it was expensive, but not as bad when you got away from the beaches. Have been to a few areas TDY since and I can not believe the change. I do not want to disrespect anyones home, any i know with work family and roots in an area, everyone can't just pack up and leave, but I am glad that I still dont live there. The politics would kill me and being a simple Government civilian I couldn't afford to. No not all GS workers make 100K
Borned and bred in Kali. Left in '81 cause I was tired of loonies.
Spose I beat the rush. Prescient.
Still have sisters there. Oldest one is a real loony. Turns on CNN before she brews coffee, just so she can hate Trump all day. Youngest one is sane. Keeps her head down. Three others are all wacky. History?... Outta bounds. Fact?... What's that for? Logic?... you gotta be kiddin me. All about feelings. You got the good people on this side, and everyone else is a not sea retahrd, way they feel it.
God help us all.
I left California 4 months ago for all the reasons mentioned.
Good to see you are still around, MoleRat. Live long and prosper.
If it wasn’t for my job I would be leaving as well. We are looking at properties now to secure land elsewhere. Gives us 12 years to build our retirement home.

That you Silvermouse! It’s good to be back.
I think we put the wall on the wrong side of Arizona
