No news flash – SD job losses

[larrylujack]

"This news adds up to one more reason to NOT invest in San Diego, or elsewhere in CA. With a top-heavy government, a huge tax burden, and an increasingly liberal electorate, our business environment and jobs situation will only get worse. Employers and wealthy tax averse people will increasingly flee the state."

I find this post pretty funny since the fringe right always blame the same targets, the top heavy government, the so-called "huge" tax burden, and of course, "liberals" since they are always at fault for everything. Newsflash, unless you been living under a rock the neocons have been in charge for the past 8 years, and loose lending standards (i.e., lack of regulatory oversight) brought us the housing crisis we now face. Maybe a little more "top heavy" government was needed at this level of regulatory control, ya think?

Just note this, I work with business people including many VCs and California has much going for it aside from weather. To say that businesses are leaving Calif for Nevada, Florida and Texas misses the point since those type of businesses have or will move to Mexico or further overseas.
In the hight tech area I work, businessess stay in Calif due to technology innovation, a first rate educational system, overall wealth and a sophisticated investment culture. So, if you are employed in these areas, you are golden, if not, be worried, even if you move to Texas, Nevada, Florida or a third world country for that matter, yer just a disposable commodity.

It never ceases to amaze me to see these types of "opinions." Bobs, do you actually live in Calif, or watch Fox News 24/7 and flip burgers at a diner off highway 50 in Arizona?

Hmm…I thought this topic was SD jobs and economic health. But LL is so prescient he can know all about me in my 7 lines that he can go on with a personal attack that goes on for 19 lines! And darn, he discovered that I flip burgers in AZ.
Back to topic:
The latest figures on job creation in San Diego and CA are abysmal. We are way underperforming the nation, as the original post establishes, in both quantity and (for San Diego), quality of jobs, and no, it is not all construction-related.
Check the ratio of U-Haul truck rental pricing CA vs the more dynamic lower tax, business-friendly states. 4 to 1 all the way to 7 to 1, last I checked. People are voting with their feet, especially wealthy taxpayers. Many who “work” in the Bay area actually live in the Tahoe area; I hear anecdotally the same is true for L.A. & Las Vegas.
Texas is booming, and it is not just oil-related buy high tech. So is Utah, Idaho, Washington.
Demographics is destiny, and the trends are not good for San Diego.
News flash: the looniest of liberals control our state legislature, and have for many years. They are readying major tax hikes and the puny number of Republicans can’t do much to stop them. Democrats are near to having a 2/3 majority, which would emasculate any remaining Republican power. The Gubernator? He long ago turned into a girly-man. Remember, he sleeps with a Kennedy.
As for me, I sold almost all of my San Diego properties between 2002 and 2007 and moved my investments to friendlier climes where it has done well. My wife and I will stay in San Diego for the weather and other attractions, but my money won’t.

BobS, I have to say, from what I’ve seen and heard, I agree with you. There are many other states that are much more business friendly, and I know people are leaving CA for them. The biggest population migration to SD is from illegals. This can’t be good for the housing market either.

personal attack?, oh boo hoo, girly man.

the girly man reference is revealing since you raised it, your buy into the fantasy of the republican macho representations not whithstanding the whimp ass Bush/Cheney chicken hawk crew.

not that I disagree with the job creations situation but your lame attribution to liberal policies is just that, lame and simply unsubstantiated opinion without any factual basis whatsoever. get the facts, mam, or in your case, girly man, the neocons have ruled this country for the past 8 years with the whimp demos aquisecing, and your whining about is plainly hillarious. Seems to me you got what you asked for, girly man, and now your whining.
BTW, Washington is booming according to your post but it is one of the more liberal legislatures and governors so it should be suffering like CA, no? So, this undercuts your original “thesis” (to put it charitably). You sure are great at contradicting yourself. keep it up, a real hoot.

I hear china is where it’s at there Bobs go for it patriot.
