Leaving California and not looking back

Editor's note: This blog's favorite state to pick on: California. The corporate communist Nomenklatura running the once spectacularly beautifully state of California want to impose a tax-by-the-mile plan as state revenue drops because of the use if EVs. But then you have to ask what is the competence level of the leftist indoctrinated bureaucratic class who run the state when Virginia terminated California's electric vehicle mandate, which was being pushed on all 50 states? Anyone ever drive a Honda Civic? If you have you really have to wonder what the hell is the point of owning an EV? Especially facing an oil glut by 2029. Then the corporate communists who run the state (Democratic socialist utopians) are telling Californians who leave "may still have to pay California taxes." California is alleged to have the 5th largest economy in the world at $3.944 trillion gross state product (GSP) as of 2023. If the state continues in its current direction when tax collectors start knocking on doors nobody will be home. With a declining tax base of $340 million tax revenue loss because of people moving out of the state a single employee working to pay their bills and to survive in California can expect to pay 1/3rd of their monthly pay check in taxes. A tax on labor is theft (British territorial subjects).

California exodus continues as conservative states attract blue-state residents: Report

By Jamie Joseph | June 10, 2024

Californians fleeing the blue state over its high cost of living are showing no signs of slowing down, according to the latest report by a major moving and storage company.

"The Golden State has a reputation for imposing high sales, income, and property taxes. The cost of living is approximately 50 percent higher in California than the national average, and housing costs can be prohibitive," according to a report on 2024 moving trends published by PODS. 

The report, published May 20, found that more people are moving to the southern Appalachian region, which includes parts of South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, all conservative states. 

"California is number one in all the wrong things," Will Swaim, president of the conservative think tank California Policy Center, told Fox News Digital on Friday. "Add to that regulations that make building new homes almost impossible, and it's no wonder that people are moving out."

California still tops list for most outbound moves according to new PODS report.

Businesses are getting in on the piece of the pie, too. The study noted companies are packing up to southern sunbelt states like Texas, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, and Tennessee, according to data collected from Iron Mountain. Why? Because these regions "offer lower operational costs, tax incentives, and better value for employees."

Los Angeles and San Francisco landed in the top two spots for the cities seeing the highest numbers of residents moving out.

Terry Gilliam, the founder of the popular Facebook group "Leaving California" which has hundreds of thousands of members, told Fox News Digital in an interview the list confirms "you're not just getting the high-end taxpayers, but the middle class taxpayers are leaving."
