You also need things to get so bad for so long that almost everyone is sick of the status quo. You’re not quite there yet in California. Some people still think the problem is taxes that are too low. Give it another decade.

In hindsight, I should have picked Texas or some other non-bubble state that had good demographics and a business-friendly government. Many come to mind.

Ho ho ho, Texas. Yes, take all of your gains and invest them in Texas real estate. There is money to be made there by the bucketloads. Since I’m such a nice guy, I’ll even tell you how to do it. So here’s how you make money in Texas:

1) Buy farmland 20 miles outside of suburban D/FW, Austin, or Houston. Put some cows on it so that you can claim it’s a farm and pay low property tax.

2) Use your buddies in the city, county, state, and federal good old boy networks (I do hope you have some) to make sure that new roads and business districts get put near your land. Be prepared to hold your investment a while, this may take 10-20 years.

3) Once the new metro area starts springing up around your land, subdivide it and turn it into a housing development. Again, your buddies in the city and county governments will be needed here to help you out with permits, new roads, utilities, etc… Make sure you’re prepared to scratch their backs (or grease their palms) in exchange for their help.

There you go! You’re an instant Texas real estate tycoon. Note that if you don’t have the prerequisite connections in the good old boy network, you’ll just end up with a bunch of land in the middle of nowhere full of fire ants and weeds. But you can always park a trailer on it and live there, although you might have to drive a while to get to Wal-Mart for groceries.

It’s interesting to compare and contrast the statements by EconProf and Aecetia.

Both posters seem to be of Republican leanings.

The difference is that Aecetia installed solar panels on her house. Smart move it was if utility rates skyrocket. 😉

But if utility rates skyrocket, we all install solar panels and we’ll be fine.

Plus all the solar panel installations will cause an economic boom… and voila, problems solved.

[quote=EconProf] Sacramento is oblivious to its job-killing policies such as AB 32, which will soon cause utility rates to skyrocket. [/quote]

[quote=Aecetia]
SB 32 expands the feed-in tariff program for large-scale solar facilities from 1.5 megawatts to 3 megawatts, potentially pushing utilities to construct massive solar installations on unused spaces like parking lots and warehouse roofs.

The situation in California will not materially improve until the State/Local gov’t employee Unions are broken, and the absurd benefits that gov’t employees receive are drastically rolled back in line with private industry (the workers who pay their checks/benefits).
