I bring actual data from independent sources over and over again . You bring nothing but lazy rhetoric. The “alleged CA mass exodus” (I should have included MASS as it is the key part of that statement, my mistake) I write of is the case the media trots out every year or two that companies and people are leaving en masse. Like you they throw out a company or two but never mention the regular stream of world changing companies costantly being created and the influx of the best and brightest from all over the country and the world migrating here. Companies have been leaving here for a long time. Its an expensive place to live and work. It always has been. This is not a place to operate big comapnies, its a place to create new ideas and companies. Those inevitably get sold off and moved to lower cost locales which is how its pretty much always been in SD. People have been crawling back to other places from here because they couldnt make it for a very long time. This is not an easy place to make it and never was. If this was a basketball league it would be the NBA.
And of course no mention of the FACT that the best thing ou could have done is just keep all your SD real estate rather than taking them to other less profitable places.
Still waiting on that data. Would welcome and love to see it.
