Small chance that recall is successful, and Larry Elder becomes governor. If he does, vetoing legislation passed by assembly will be his only way to impact the state. Not sure if SB9 and SB10 are signed by Newsom yet or not. If not, I suspect Elder would veto them.
[quote=Myriad]The recall went off the rails went anyone could just be on the ballot.
Not a huge fan of Newsom, but Elder… seriously?[/quote]
Ditto.
When I heard Elder was a conservative talk host, I figured they would have enough ammo on him to keep him from getting elected. Looks like that will end up being true.
I’m beginning to think this was a beautifully executed plan… Elders is so extreme, I’m sure it rallied a bunch of people who wouldn’t have participated in the recall election to vote. Given that even with 25%, he could be the next governor…
CA voters have spoken, so Newsom is in for 2, or maybe 6 more years. Now, as writer H. L. Mencken once said, they are going to get what they voted for, good and hard.
The exodus from CA of businesses and people will accelerate, as the “push factors” continue to grow. Can San Diego RE be far behind?

Econ 101 (supply vs demand) say San Diego’s RE will be just fine. Especially if you’re talking about SFR w/in 15-20 minutes of the coast.

I’m hoping so! EconProf, please tell all your friends how wonderful Utah is, and what a mess CA is so they will move!
Even if Newsom was recalled, whomever replaced him would be stonewalled by the Democrats in the legislature and especially the democrat support staff. So effectively no change to Newsom’s policies.
[quote=The-Shoveler]SD seems to be run a whole lot better than LA, So I would imagine SD will continue to attract those with the means to escape LA.
But Probably just about anywhere is run better than LA.[/quote]
Yes, SD RE has benefited from the flight from worse-run coastal cities of the Bay area and LA. But it is still in CA and will be pulled down by CA’s self-imposed problems. It is the least-dirty shirt in the closet.
[quote=sdrealtor]8 pm in Saint George and currently 93 degrees. Such bliss[/quote]
Yep, it is hot here for 4 months of the year. But remember that because of our mountains and higher elevation, there is a 30-degree swing in temperatures between late afternoon and early mornings, when an 87 degree high means mornings in the 60’s.
BTW, it is hotter in lower elevation Phoenix and Las Vegas, which doesn’t seem to slow refugees from CA to those rapidly growing cities.
