[quote=NeetaT]OK, so I guess the people writing these articles should also leave CA. All they are doing is calling out an avaricious / profligate government. The California Policy Center is assessing CA in real time.[/quote]
yes.
Lots of people should leave california. For a lot of people, it no longer financially makes sense to stay in CA. Certainly if you a minimum wage worker, you would be far better off in another state, where your dollars would go a lot longer way and there wouldn’t be such a long waiting period for government help. That’s just reality. Some people want to point the problem at the state government . Some people are pointing the fingers at wealth inequality. It’s a combination of the two probably where it’s probably much harder for someone starting out to succeed here in CA then it is for those that’s been here some time and have a significant investment in some of the expensive assets in this state. Housing is a good example. Home prices are expensive here and so is rent prices . someone in minimum wage will have a tough lifestyle here and struggle a lot. Meanwhile, homeowners get the protection of a low prop tax and have equity to play with. Also CA tends to reward people typically who have the higher paid careers versus other states, whereas people who are minimum wage workers need to find lower cost places in US where then can have a decent lifestyle. Most of CA isn’t it.
That’s what there’s some migration in to this state and others migrating out. Incoming folks tend to be professionals from Jersey and Illinois. There was an dozen of articles about this.
