- Why are millions of people leaving California and moving to other states? What do those states have that California doesn’t? PragerU’s first mini-documentary explores the root causes of this mass exodus from the Golden State. “Fleeing California,” featuring PragerU’s own Will Witt, sheds light on one of the most significant but underreported stories of our time.

That was awesome WW🔥 I am trying desperately to get my life in order on my own (without any family backing b/c the main sector is too unstable). I have moved 3 times in the last 5.5 years and that's no life for a females who wants stability. If Texas offered more funding options too finish college, job opportunities that I can actually be considered for and marriage possibilities (that's just as important to me as a job really but education and money is necessary to support yourself when you are single) I would move Texas in a heartbeat. I probably wouldn't move to Austin tho, I heard that was the worst city in Texas.
April Harmony check out various state National Guard programs. You are able to attend state colleges for free and most time they give you a small allowance. One weekend a month, 2 weeks a year isn’t bad and talk to your recruiter about any deployment concerns. Also, lots of hot guys and gals! (Kind of partial as I was in 20 years. Lol)
I live in California. As soon as possible, we will be moving. Either Arizona, New Mexico, Texas or even Utah. Anywhere but here. The government doesn't care, doesn't listen and are belittling to thpse of is who don't tow the same political line.
@Cool Cas ......no offense but why would your opinion matter if you dont live in the US, and not a American you obviously haven't felt this situation the Democrats have created. They are filthy manipulative beasts.
Keep up the good work, PragerU. Your videos have been really insightful.
Please, wherever you go, leave your politics in California
Not everyone in California is a liberal we actually have the most conservatives by population in the nation. If all the conservatives left California and moved to swing states Democrats wouldn't win another election since all our votes are essentially wasted here.
@@dirtygerd9083 I was in Las Vegas 2 weeks ago, a family was looking for homes there. She said one half of the state supports the other half.
Only half are employed.
Problem is: those tax takers want to live like the tax payers.
They are ruining Colorado
They never do that, they keep voting blue cuz that's how stupid they are.
I am thinking that people who leave are tired of the BS in CA. So they take their sanity and move to another state with sanity. Am I wrong? And..... some think that the left is trying to pollute other states with dems. I hope I am wrong.
We left California and moved to America last year.
california is part of the US whether you like it or not.
@@knucklehoagies
We found America has much different values than Californians do.
@@fordtechchris But it's still America
@@plasmicats2000 technically on paper... But culturally, ideology, economically, politically, etc no, it is not.
@@fordtechchris Politically, it is, it us under the US constitution, it is regarded as a state so they also have senators, representatives, and an electoral college that participates in the US presidential election, you can walk freely between it's border and the state's. The US doesn't have a national culture, there are different cultures all over. Ideologically, maybe not. Economically yes, there is free trade between Cali and all states, Cali citizens pay US federal taxes and are under US trade laws.
Why don't Californians vote for Republican party instead of moving to a Republican state??
Because that worked so well for Kansas right🤣🤣🤣
Because denial.
Voter fraud. People do vote red, but it's rigged.
@@Unjustified_Bot stfu with ur cap everybody around me in me voted blue and Texas is about to be a battleground state
Because they don't like being proven wrong and accept the truth
72 years old and trying to get out of California, rule and regulations killed my custom Auto and restoration business...
I am so sorry. God Bless you.
I'm 32 and trying to get out of this state
Communists want you poor.
Come to Texas you won't believe how easy and inexpensive it is to start a business. Just please vote red.
@@lenisbennett3062 Would love to but now all the CA tech companies are moving there and soon an Indian and Chinese invasion will ensue. As a former Silicon Valley transplant I saw them wreck CA firsthand. You're about to be invaded.
When you come to Texas, LEAVE YOUR POLITICS IN CALIFORNIA!!!
What, you dont like dragqueen story time, $900.00 cell phone violation fines and 4 bucks a gallon of gas? You dont know what you're missing.
Ok we get it
Don’t worry about Californians ruining anything... we are under a CORRUPT government. In other words, they CHEAT. We aren’t as liberal as they make us seem. They control you through corruption.
Why would a party trying to take over America ever listen to that stupid ass advice?
Normal people see your writing and agree, but the left want you gone!
They spread like a virus, not quite fast enough, so they create a real virus to kill off the older republican vote.
As long as the Californians who are """relocating""" are not trying to bring their failed ideas with them....
Based Thucydides Don’t tempt conservatives, bruh. It will only wind up backfiring against you. 😒
They always do. They have ruined Oregon. Any state they set there sites on, they become a corruption plague on that state. Should be a rule that you spend the next 3 years paying your originating state tax when they move to another stare and not be allowed to vote on state policy for that term as well.
But they do. These people don't learn. They're like swarms of locusts. Every single place they go, they destroy.
Oh trust me they are! Idaho’s democratic votes quadrupled since 2016
@Based Thucydides I don't think you understand Texans, lol.
I once dreamed of going to America and living in LA. No more.
The same 😅 brazil isn't the best but nobody poop in the streets
Ué tu é BR? Pensei que fosse gringo kkkkk
You can go to Texas
É nóis
@@YahyaBenyahi Texas is ass bruh I’m tryna move out of there I’m sick of hurricanes
I am staying in Texas where I was born and raised, and even though I have travel across our country, I have no desire to leave. I can’t understand why people in California and New York think paying such a premium to live there is worth it.
Its cuz they were born there, people won’t move from where they were born that easily 🤷🏻♂️
Born and raised in California. It's not easy to leave. I vote Republican.
I am from Florida but I lived in NY in my 20s. It's so overrated. The city is nothing but a big garbage dump that is overpriced.
@@woodbooger777 come to Texas where you’ll find people who share your values. And my friend you will love it here
@@woodbooger777 or Florida. All the benefits of California with none of the downsides.
I was a native Californian, I lived there 50 years. When I retired from the Navy, I moved myself and my wife to Oklahoma because I saw what was happening and what was coming. It took us 5 years too get out of California without setting ourselves back financially with a solid exit plan. Those 5 years were pretty stressful. You're leaving family, friends, stability, you're leaving your place of birth and everything that makes you... you. We left about 3 years ago. Our kids (with our grandchildren) have both left California now as well. One moved to Alabama and one followed us to Oklahoma. Both decided it was also best for their families. Sadly, as Californians enter Texas, many bring the same ideology with them that destroyed California. Beware the cancer of liberalism.
Same story here, although we're on the last year of our exit plan.
I grew up in a small quiet town in northern Massachusetts, in the 80's. However, in the nineties lots of big city folks started fleeing those high cost decaying urban areas to settle in low-cost suburban and rural areas (places just 30 years ago people had left to pursue big city life). Well wouldn't you know they brought those same city life ideas (they sound good but are inherently flawed) to small towns and started demanding things like free bus service, parking meters, newly paved roads in front of their house, traffic lights, bigger stores, etc. - while they still commuted to the big towns for work. Things these little towns couldn't afford. That's when I realized the inherent flaw in this broadly "liberal" thinking.
12 years gone from California, ZERO regrets!!!
These damn liberals will blind side you in Texas. Some of them will move to Texas to make money but their ideology is to keep voting for Democrats. Smh
I was thinking the same thing - hope all those Californians leaving don’t infect Texas at the voting booth. 🥴
HEY CALIFORNIANS! When you move to a new state. STOP VOTING LIKE CALIFORNIANS!!!
THIS ^^^^^^
As a Texan that's a big fear of mine. Texas has been a red state for years and I hope it stays that way
Sadly, they don't. That's the irony. You would think they would but they would vote for Bernie Sanders or Biden in a second.
That's how crazy they are.
That’s actually a problem that’s been completely understated. Liberals make their states and districts unlivable, move to a new state to escape their own political choices than go on voting for the same policies that turned their neighborhood into a dump in the first place.
Yep, I'm in So' Cal', helping to promote good Republican and better life values, by suggesting on fb that people not be so libtarded, and lift themselves up and do what is right by getting shht done for themselves.
I'm one of the people from a family that left California for Texas. We immediately noticed a jump in our quality of life, the day we arrived. It's far better here
It might not be like that soon with all those Californians coming still voting for Democrat.
@T minus- agreed. It's like enjoy while you can. The funny part is that stupid Californians still claim that CA is a paradise. Lol.
Forced out of cali. I've never been happier! Conservative solutions are the right choice for a chance to be successful in life
Exactly
For real
If you leave CA, don't bring your CA mindset with you, or Stay There...
Seriously. Or move to some other country.
@@TheOfficialReThink Believe me, California is ANOTHER "country", and WHEN Trump is re-elected, likely there will be a greater push for "Cal_Exit". The remaining 49 states, which constitute "Murica", will likely tell Californians to go, please, and don't let the door hit them in the backside on the way out!
Stfu
What "CA mindset" would that be? You seem to think youre an expert on how millions of people think, like many other idiots in this thread, so tell us, what exactly is a CA mindset? Is it like a TX mindset where if you weren't born in Houston/Austin/etc, youre not a REAL Texan/American/patriot/etc? It's clear the majority of the non- Californians posting here have no idea how California got the way it is- it's not the majority that made those decisions; in the event you dislike a law in California you can sue in court and have your opinion inflicted on the majority- Proposition 8 (same sex marriage) is an excellent example of this. The politics? Its a single party state, so once a party is in power it takes a sweeping push to change. BTW, RUclips and Google- both based in California.
To be honest...We really dont care at all. The mindset of people there before us telling us how to behave falls on deaf ears. We came from a state where people from different backgrounds and ideals move to all the time. it really is as simple as well behave how we want. Since there isnt jack you can do about it but complain I suggest getting over it or move out!
I left. Best decision I could have made. If you're a liberal and are leaving, LEAVE YOUR POLITICS IN CALIFORNIA.
after highschool im immediately gonna move out of california and register as a republican. My parents are barely surviving from all these high bills and taxes and i do not want to struggle as them in the future
unfortunately, the entire US may commiefornianize in the near future before politicians learn an oft forgotten lesson: Support the constituency
This comment should have over a million likes. This is so true!
I left too. 7 years ago this December. No more gangs or violence. No homeless. It's awesome!
Cause why pollute our low IQ communities with new perspectives right?
We are leaving California in the spring and we are taking our business with us!
No voting for the same policies!
Just vote red in your new state is all we ask :)
Just moved to Houston 2 weeks ago from Santa Clarita, CA. It’s crazy how green it is over here
I live in Santa Clarita right now, it’s a good town seen as it is a Republican town, but I bet Texa is sooooo much better. Can’t wait to move there with my family one day.
@@aidenelfarra4751 lol santa clarita..
@@unamistone1906 wdym?
You mean Santa Clara?
@@roshanmaradani8161 no Santa Clarita is a nice town (republican town) in CA
Please don’t bring your failed ideas and leftist thinking to my state of Texas. We’re conservative and we like it that way
So is northern California
It’s all the coastal liberals fleeing Cali. The ones that ruined my once beautiful home state. I love, love, love Texas; but I wanna stay here and turn things back around. All inland Cali is red and we’re subjected to a certain few ruling class.
Bro what about us riversidecoutians who are that red slice of so cal .
@@nicoleglenn8101 if it ever fails, you'll always be welcome in Texas Miss Nicole.
@@nicoleglenn8101 Didn't orange county turn blue ?
All these Californians moving to Arizona are now voting like they did in California. Did you not learn your lesson.
In fact, liberal parents have said they have been encouraging their kids to move to red States in the efforts to turn them blue.no lie, it's a real conspiracy with these people. They think they are part of the some marxis Master plan .
I don’t know about AZ but in Texas, it may be Californians who actually helped us keep Cruz. Californians who decided to vote differently here.
Wait until the East Coast Socialist Transplant leave California for your State. You haven't seen shit yet.
Nope! They have been brainwashed from grade school and on up through college! The stupidity runs deep! I’m a transplant from the South and I see it everyday!
Doing the same here in Colorado. Its headed towards Commierado in the near future. Denver is severely infected.
“Californians are suffering yet they vote for the people that destroy it.”
Korean here that spent time in Vancouver, and Seoul. After looking at this advertisement of Texas, I'm sold. Texas is amazing and Korea should be doing things like Texas.
Well come on over, we'll welcome ya! Welcome to Our great Republic of Texas! We got great BBQ, food, oil, gas, good governance, orderly, peaceful, friendly neighbors who look out for you, we have our own army, our own power grid.Things aren't perfect, but with hard work and luck we'll get there. And chivalry, honor, respect, commitment and Loyalty are highly valued and respected. I think you'll feel kinda at home here in Texas.
When you drive into Texas from the West, they should have a sign stating "Remember why you left". So that the people coming in don't vote in the same trash that ran them away from their home.
Ben Dover That shit would be hilarious. Not just from the west though, ALL directions. Remember that we're surrounded by idiots everywhere.
YES! Great Idea...
I thought you wanted them to leave their "left" behind
Same worries here in Az. Left Ca. because of the communists, now worried they will come to Az.
and into Colorado!!!
Dear Californians fleeing Cali to Texas:
*_LEAVE YOUR POLITICS BEHIND._*
_Don't_ California my Texas.
Sincerely,
A Texan
P.S.
#DontMessWithTexas
Well Austin needs to be quarantined by what I'm hearing about it.
Mexico should annex texas

What people from outside CA don't realize is that voter fraud is rampant. On top of that, election rules were changed so that the two primary candidates with the most votes are eligible for the general election, regardless of party affiliation. So, in most races Republicans never get on the ballot. Still, there are more conservatives here than people think, and we're engaged. Besides, God loves California. It isn't over yet.
yup
I moved my business from California to Nevada this year.
Why would you leave??? I mean Oracle, Tesla, Joe Rogan, etc. can't all be right...LOL Good on you, thinking of Pahrump myself, Henderson real estate got priced too high now, GL
I'm a native nevadan born and raised and I was wondering what your business is?
I know many people here in Texas that fear this exodus is causing Texas to go blue. I came from Illinois, and I was as socialist as you could get. After we moved here, I've become a republican and now realize how successful Texas is.
I think the people of Texas are strong enough to keep their state from turning blue (no pun).
sad part is that lots of Californians are moving here to Arizona and voting for these progressive policies which will destroy our state.
Conservatives need to learn how to play the word game.
Well, it was good while it lasted.
And they buy into these ads that depict them as angels in the political world where they make one single claim and people will buy into that one single agenda, not realizing the baggage that comes with it
@@invaderzim1265 yes it was, but now its gone. what do i do? move to Texas or Russia?
@Theo Lionheart speaking about progressive policies, when i went to north Phoenix a couple of weeks ago, there are soo many homeless people, its not as bad in the east valley where i live, but it has gotten from one guy occasionally standing by the freeway bridge near my house, to three or four people standing there with their carts begging for money. It is getting worse and worse. I also cannot not mention the cusd school district and them spending billions of dollars on “progressive” education. The SAT test is full of articles advocating for the green new deal, and its a mandatory test for all students.
They leave California to places like Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, etc and they still vote democrat like they are in California.
CO. NE, OR. are pretty much blue anyway, Texas is purple.
What the hell you talking about? Oregon has been a Marxist shithole from their own locals. Wait until the East Coast Socialist Transplant leave California for your State. You haven't seen shit yet.
These liberal bastards fleeing California turned my state of Colorado into another liberal hell hole.
Yep, "You can't fix stupid". An apt quote from Bill Engvall
@@lewb.8619 Texas isn't purple. "Purple" states are states where people are centrists that might vote either way. Texas is just half red and half blue.
It's the same in Arizona. So many Californians move to Arizona that almost half the state votes blue every cycle.
Left California in 2019. Our dream is to move to Texas or TN. My heart breaks for what they have done to that beautiful state. You guys keep making these awareness videos. There’s hope yet. Because there are many like me in California whose eyes are being opened through these platforms. God bless you.
I fled CA in 2009. I was stationed there at pendleton and fell in love with the state. But once I learned what it would be like being a CA resident (being in the military exempts you from that), I fled CA and never looked back
few years later: Make Texas Great Again caps start to become a thing
"Don't California My Texas"
The British Patriot someone needs to Texas my California
The majority leaving California are the ones that ruined it too. The ones staying, like myself, are trying to turn it around and fight to make it better. I’m feel bad for all the states getting Cali implants.
Nicole Glenn that’s the only reason why I wanna stay fight libtard ideology is
@@nicoleglenn8101 - even if it turns back conservative, it's still too expensive to invest in real estate. We're just wasting all our money paying for other people's retirement. I'm out.
@@kevino6416 if California turn red again then that would be huge for us. Unfortunately with illegal immigration, that's never going to happen.
The problem is that, these people "fleeing liberal states" STILL vote Democrat and Liberal in their NEW state, because they just don't put the 2 and 2 together.
Spot on! I left Colorado because of that and where I currently live is being infiltrated as well.
@@beauhawk1146 That sucks... funny, I was looking at Colorado as a place to move to. So beautiful there, but I suppose it's very Left as well.
I knew Austin was so called “progressive” & antifa has a fb page called “antifascist austin”. Great that they bring their poison with them huh?! 🙄
What about us conservative Californians who want to get out of this state BECAUSE of the liberal/leftist politics? My parents settled here when california was nothing like it is now - back in the 50's. I was born here. I didn't choose it. Shouldn't I have the right to move to a state that shares my conservative values? The assumption is that because we are from California we're automatically liberal. Not true. I don't fit in here and want to get out. Hopefully me and my family will be welcome elsewhere.
Cedar Hatt thanks for the invite - we'd be happy to!!!
I remember crossing from Arizona to needles california and even the california half of the bridge is torn up and the Arizona side was recently paved and painted.
They're coming to AZ too. I plan to leave right before they ruin everything and my house is worth 50% more.
Portland, OR is the same. BMWs running lights; phony "service" dogs in supermarkets; chubby (pathetic) 65 year old women with long blond hair, and tight clothes and garish jewelry, acting 30; poncy shops and restaurants; and the HGTV-type home makeovers....little craftsman houses painted gray, given multiple spa baths and marble kitchens and flipped. Everything is staged and fake....made to look ritzy. And the people who believe it? More Californians.....so weird.
@@julieb7785 That was a very vivid description. I used to love thinking about the big cities and all of the beaches on the western coast, but that was my child brain talking. Now I have to see the ugly parts too.
@@colemin2 I'm guessing your young (and thoughtful). Here's what: save your money; borrow an absolute minimum from any lender....and consider the impact on the environment in just about everything you do or purchase. I left CA 11 years ago and donated my car (which I seldom drove). In that moment, I quit lining the pockets of State Farm, Chevron, Goodyear, Jiffy-Lube...not to mention hyper-inflated city penalties like parking tickets. Here, I walk everywhere or take a bus (which few people do)...if I need to go somewhere, I can afford to call a cab (because I don't pay $267/mo in car ins.) Do the math on what a car costs above and beyond the actual price tag+interest). Also, stay where you are and make that community great. The transplants will trash TX...which will enrich the TX real estate industry (people like that face-lifted nitwit who stormed the Capitol), the politicians, and the so-called "leaders" et c. That's why that jackass Cruz is shaking out the welcome mat...
@@julieb7785 Appreciate it
Mpving away is not really a solution,coz after they destroyed AZ too they will love yo what ever state you are running to.Staying and fighting for ypur state is the solution.
They’ve been messing up Florida here. Thousands of people move permanently to Florida each day. The thing saving us here in the elections are the Cubans in Miami who’ve experienced communism first hand and tell their children how awful communism is and the small rural towns that are heavily agricultural
Yep, I'm from Florida too. Hopefully, we can stay Red! What you said is so true (about the Cubans)
I am a Florida native. My family is Cuban and we have been Republican for the most part BUT NOW even my parents are staunch socialist. My dad has listen to NPR all of his life and has become a completely irrational with TDS. With my mom it is the MSM . She listens to MSNBC all day long. My husband my children and I are literally the only conservatives left in my entire family. We are harassed.. we are trolled online ..my kids are hounded every time they go to my mom's house, my mom telling them that how can they care for this country if vote for Orange Man. It's incredible to see and completely disheartening because the children of the staunch Republican Cubans are now welfare loving socialist praising.. we have done a terrible job teaching our children the values of conservatism.. I'm proud to say my husband and I did not do that. And my husband is from Poland so you tell me if he likes socialism...
Rorie Marie that’s sad. My family is also Cuban and are die hard republicans. I’ve always been taught that socialism is bad. My great grandfather was imprisoned for 30 years for speaking against the government in Cuba.
Shit... I was born and lived in Florida my entire life thus far... This only motivates me even more to vote this year...
@@roriemarie2968 As a 42 year old born here from Cuban parents, I've seen the Cuban culture from Cubans coming over today as a completely different culture than that of my grandparents. 50 plus years of socialism not only destroyed the infrastructure of the country but also the culture. Don't think these new Cubans will be voting Republican.
One word for anybody fleeing something. "Assimilate". Leave behind what you fled. If it didn't work, let it go.
That's not the Plan, though.
They MUST infiltrate Texas and turn it blue, which will guarantee -- per the Electoral College -- there will never be another Republican candidate in the Oval Office.
They want to turn it into the shit hole they left. It's not as affordable as it used to be since it started becoming Texafornia. Lots of changes and not for the better
IndianaJoe0321 the electoral college is the only thing keeping us afloat. We already lost the popular vote. 0311
@Matt Brennan I think trying to change and add laws that made where they came from a terrible place to live means they "want" to. Most not all are running from the conditions not the mentality
This makes me much more humble and proud to be born and raised in small town Oklahoma in the Oklahoma City metro area. Life is so peaceful, affordable and definitely more beautiful out here. The bang for the buck you get on a Home in Oklahoma is unmatched. A beautiful $175,000 home in Oklahoma will cost about $500,000+ in California.
More like 850,000
I lived in Apple Valley CA for one year grossing more income than I ever had but after I paid all of my California bills, I was netting well below what I had netted many years prior. Within one year, I had to leave and I couldn’t leave fast enough. And the homeless epidemic is no joke. I would have to dodge people waking in the middle of the night while driving back home. It has to be experienced to truly appreciate the madness.
Leave your progressive mindset at the border of CA. NOBODY wants it.
Lets hope that those who decide to move remember why they moved when they are at the voting booth. It would be terrible if those people end up acting like a virus and infecting their new home with the same problems California has.
"Acting like a virus" is exactly the right analogy. Let's hope sanity prevails. The future of the country depends on it.
Therein lies the threat and the problem - stupid people. We are a country chock full of really ignorant people who love the idea of "free everything" and are continually conditioned by the media, the educators, the politicians, that government is the answer. And this shows so incredibly clearly with the plethora of people who support electing a communist or a man with dementia. What in the world is our beloved country coming to? The end of a grand experiment, methinks.
And that is exactly what they do. Endeavor to turn their new home into the exact shit hole they left.
Amen! I'm considering leaving, but I'm a Republican and I know I would be welcome in Texas, Arizona or Utah, because I and my family are conservative Republicans. In fact I know Ted Cruz would like if my family would move, because we already support him with contributions😊
Liberals are almost guaranteed to bring their failed policies elsewhere as they are unlikely to admit their failure.
Please give us more short documentries like this. Its hugely informing
I'm from Australia and on my first visit to the US I flew into LA, San Francisco and New York. Those airports were filthy and disorganised. The second I landed in Atlanta Georgia (and, not long after, Dallas and OKC) was the second I started questioning my political views and when I started seeing the differences between red and blue states.
64 years old, born and raised in California. Sold my childhood home, retired, and moved to South Carolina last year. I couldn't afford to retire and live in California.
Well in order to live in California you need to have a job, California is great if you have a high paying job. When you retire just move.
So I just turned 65 this March..Retierd usmc..moved to Oregon 20 Yrs ago now in Washington State..Born and raised California Bay area..Q.. Is that your real pic from yrs ago, or is that a picture of Marilyn Monroe? So I'm new to this comment thing on RUclips... I don't know if that's an appropriate question, just really want to know we're too old not to tell the truth..Thanks pal...

Amen!! Fellow Texan here.
I’m a Californian and I promise you I won’t. Keep Texas Red!!!
I don't think you have much to worry about. I'm a Californian who lost two good friends to Texas recently. You're taking the Californians who use reason to make their decisions, not the knuckleheads ruining our once great state through "progressive" politics.
Fantastic short! Thanks for educating us! Love your book! It's young folks like you that give America hope!
Was that restaurant owner mad that his employees make money? I’d hate to work for that dude.
I was born and raised in California. I was homeless many times. Now I live in Florida. Best move of my life 🙏🏻✝️💜
Good to hear you come good man.
Hope you're not voting for the same liberal party that destroyed your beautiful state.
Keep crushing it. God bless you.
Good to hear. Hopefully it made for a lasting prosperity for you.
who do you vote for?
Just don’t “California” my Texas! I don’t want those blue progressive policies here!!! Keep TEXAS Red!
@jfsfrnd , how exactly it's going to happen?..Do you even understand what did you write?
@jfsfrnd , yes. Law that requires ID of course is oppressive and does not enforce the law...
I promise I won't
I realized how old this is by that one guy saying that gas in cali was 4 dollars but in Texas it was 2
Watching from the UK this breaks my heart. I will always love and be a fan of America. Like other people around the world I have always looked to america with respect and admiration. I fear these problems go way beyond party politics but I pray America gets a grip and finds solutions before they wake up one day and find the whole game is up.
" Hmm, we ruined california with our terrible policy prescriptions and now living here is a nightmare...let's go to Texas and start doing it all over again....
Pretty much.
They the move some where els and some where els and eventually the whole US will be like this
Exactly. Californians did it to Portland.
It's a complete disconnect of failed policies of high taxes and overregulation inflicted on every place liberals go.
My girlfriend and her family moved from California to Oklahoma five years ago. Mostly because of the cost of property tax and high crime. They were shocked of how things were much cheaper and simple than over there.
And much safer and more friendly I am guessing...
They better not vote Democrat.
Schools better in Oklahoma.
@@markrenzella2825 ya friendly. Just don't tell em where you're from
Strange how the book The Grapes of Wrath is about Okies fleeing to California for jobs and opportunity. Now it's just the reverse.
Thank you so much for this video. This video might have just saved my ass. I'm using this video as one of my sources for a school essay about how high taxes can't help the economy. Thank you so much.
My parents and I left California for TN and we absolutely love it here
I live in a colder, more boring California: it’s called Illinois. It really admires it’s drug addict older brother

I was just arguing about how I don't think income tax should even exist. And here Texas is flourishing with 0% income tax. Amazing!
King Ekim - so how does the Government run the State?
@@masada2828
Corporate and sales tax.
When a developer builds a new sub division, they have to build a school as well.
California's high taxes goes to bureaucracy and hand outs.
Texas has neither. They have jobs.
Zero income tax you say. I question why doesn't every state have this! Can't move out of this state due to job situation at the moment but TX is looking better and better. I'm not voting blue.
The states are free to raise revenues as they see fit. That is the principle of Federalism: 50 experiments in state governance.

I just got back from Washington state after visiting my girlfriend's family. Her brother and I have comparable homes.
My property tax $440 his $4800.
I asked him, "what are you getting for all that money, that we're missing out on in South Carolina?"
He had no answer.
The answer is Democrat Bureaucracy.
I've lived in Texas and all of this is 100% true. There's almost no homelessness there, plenty of beautiful businesses, plenty of jobs. I was able to Instantly snag a job the moment I turned sixteen and I made close to $800 a month.
I recently moved to VA and it's a stark contrast. So many child labor laws makes me undesirable to hire and despite making $2 more an hour I lose way more in taxes.
What's interesting for me was that we moved as kids to Austin in 1982. I stayed until 1995. I visited CA in 1993 and loved it, but by the time I moved here in 1997 things had already started to change. I never lost my Texas edge though, so I don't think I'd be one of "those" Californians. :)

My wife and I are trying to replace a deck on the back of our home here in California. The permit will cost me about $1,000. I need to have the plans approved by a structural engineer. I also have to have a soil analysis done. I've been dealing with this for six months until the county lost all the drawings and now no longer knows who I am. In contrast my wife helped her sister put a modular home on a two-acre lot in Texas. When my wife contacted the city to find out what permits were necessary the city said "what permits?"
Generally, in Texas... what you do on your land is your own business!
Are you in (or near) a big city?

I left California a few years ago, moved to Arizona, and loved it. BUT, I have grandchildren and 3 daughters in Cali and I missed them terribly. I ended up moving back to Cali. I've heard similar stories many times.

Its true that it has become nearly impossible for a middle-income person/family to live in California. Unfortunately, these same Californians, and some others, are creating the same problem in these states they are fleeing to. There isn't enough affordable housing to meet the influx and home prices are going nuts in Texas, Idaho, Colorado, Tennessee and many other places that are conservative. Many locals in these areas are not happy with the Californication of their states and towns. Many young, long-time locals can't afford to buy a house in their own home town as a result. Home prices have tripled and quadrupled over the last ten years or so in many areas. "Outsiders" are paying $25/50/60 thousand dollars or more, over the list price, for homes online, cash, sight unseen with no contingencies for the purchase. I don't blame people for wanting to leave California - I would too - but they bring a lot of baggage and change with them. Much of it not good.
My wife & I were born & raised in CA. We left CA 7 months ago for TX, it was the BEST decision of our lives! If it were up to us, we would NEVER go back to CA again!
“Is Texas the new California” DONT EVER disrespect texas like that again.
The sad truth is that at the current rate Texas WILL BE California in 5 years. Politically speaking.

@@morpheus6749 It's already happened to my state of CO. We are conservative and leaving for SD.
I am a teen Californian and I was gonna move to Texas but my parents decided to stay in California because of their careers :/ Hopefully when I'm off in life I get to experience the Texas lifestyle
My uncle lives near San Antonio, nice place. House pricing is way better but you generally don't get basements because the sandstone or limestone there is expensive to dig. You also don't have a state income tax in Texas and the state is more gun friendly when it comes to owning a firearm.
In Texas we have politicians, like Senator Cruz, who actually understand economics. It's so refreshing to hear down-to-earth common sense from a politician, of all people. I grew up in California. If a politician spoke, it was usually total nonsense. The same is largely true with federal politicians. When I came to Texas, I was amazed how I could actually learn something from our politicians. They could actually teach me something I didn't understand. It's awesome!!
In California, my parent's 3 bed/2 bath home is appraised at around $500k. Here, in Texas, I bought my 3 bed/2 bath home for about $176k. I'm never doing to pay over $200k (ok, maybe $250k) for a home/property.
I'm 25 and have been making more than my parents ever did since I was about 22 years old.
People and businesses are fleeing here by the thousands, every year.
I have zero state income tax and far more freedom.
We just had New Year's. Back in California, there were only certain fireworks displays put on for the public. Here, in Texas, you buy them and light them yourself. You can literally get them as easily as if you go to the store to buy milk. There are some restrictions as far as what kinds and when you can buy them/light them. But, overall, there's no comparison to California.
Likewise, with firearms. I got my first two firearms a few weeks ago. You literally just pass a federal background check and fill out some paperwork. Honestly, you'll have more trouble buying a new car with a loan. I can at least 10 times more trouble buying my first home than I did getting a firearm.
You can pretty much name the measure, and Texas will likely at least be comparable to California. More likely, Texas will beat California by a mile. God bless the Lone Star State.
We just passed a law here in Texas to outlaw veganism,...so, turn that car around, Californians
So you don't believe in individual liberty after all, eh?
Lol, so many vegans here in California. I did it for 4 days, again a year later for 2 days, it sucks eating vegan. Carnivore is better, healthier too.
Bobby, you should watch the RUclips channel: Bobby's Perspective, he used to he a foolish cult like vegan, but he saw the light, and now is a carnivore, healthier and stronger than ever too. He shows us that plants have anti-nutrients in them, they are there for a reason, to punish whatever eats them, since they have no legs to run away with.
@@KlausBahnhof Not to sure what joking looks like, eh?
I am sorry for these people who are responding to you man. It was funny, just ignore them.
I think there should be a law prohibiting vegans from enforcing their vegan practices on their kids,it can be very detrimental to the child.Alicia Silverstone feeds her kid vegan,and just look what he looks like;he's completely effeminate.She even boasts about feeding her dog vegan:Animal Abuse.
I was born and raised in California. I'm a Software Engineer working in tech. You would think that California would be THE place to be... but no! I left 20 years ago because it was getting too expensive even way back then. My family is still there, but I'm NOT.
Looking back it's been one of the single best decisions I have ever made. Nearly none of my college peers have done as well because they all suffer the enormous expenses of living in California. My nice home in Florida would be a cool 4 million dollars in the Bay Area and I bought it for 500k here.
California has tons of problems and nearly none of them are getting fixed.
Same with me. Born and raised in SoCal. Lived there for over 50 years. I couldn't wait to get out. Just didn't have an opportunity until 10 years ago. Haven't been back since. Quality of life is so much better now. Cost of living where I am is 35% less.
My family left California in the late 1990's...California has too much regulations, expenses, and less freedom than other states. Heck, Canada seems to be freer in some cases than California...
Is your wage in florida competitive with out here?
@@NAT-turners-Revenge Yes I make well over what I made before. But I know that's not the average Floridian experience. Software Engineers are in demand so my company pays to get us.
@Dehydrated Water I am very conservative. Part of the reason I left is to escape those crazy policies.
Instead of staying and fixing their problems in California....they decide to move and bring their problems elsewhere. Pretty selfish imo.

As a Brit I love America and have been over 25 times, I would never fly into LA again, In parts it is like a third world country.
Brit too, I visited America last year, travelled across from east to west. California was awful. Texas was amazing.
I live in the central valley of California and it tends to be more conservative here but the bay area is only an hour away from us and a lot of people from there move out into our city for cheaper homes and now it's becoming more liberal and trashy like LA and SF🙄 and it's practically normal to see homeless people in the streets doped up on drugs here, and sometimes even wandering naked in broad daylight
And congratulations on leaving the EU, I wish you guys the best in the UK

I was born in Los Angeles, California and I have lived here all my life. I'm 20 years old and during my 20 years, I have seen with my own eyes homeless and crime go up a lot. I have to take public transportation to go to school and work and almost every day some homeless guy get on without paying and stinks up the whole place and sometimes they start shouting and saying crazy things. I work at a fast-food and crazy homeless people come in and make a mess. I have met a lot of foreigners during school and they say LA is great.. and I'm like ._. bruh
People overhype LA. It makes me cringe when people brag about the "LA Life" Those people are the ones who live in Hollywood Hills or Beverly Hills who never spent time in DownTown LA which is the MAIN part of LA. DTLA is nasty and dangerous and food is expensive everything just sucks here. The only good thing about LA is the weather.
With that being said after seeing this video, I'm most likely going to move to Texas very soon. I have friends there already and they love Texas and I have a feeling I will like it there too.
Thanks PragerU!
Its sad that ur so young and you've observed the same stuff i have at age 36 😂
Jay Garcia I’m glad you have plans to move. I lived there for 8 months and I never want to be in that state again. I had a homeless guy start threatening to rip off my face and all I was doing was sitting waiting for a bus. Hopefully the people that move to red states like Texas won’t continue to vote for the policies that got California to that point because if Texas turns blue it’s over for the policies that got Texas to that point.

As someone who spent over a year in Arizona and another 9 months in Nashville over the last 2+ years.....i still came back to Southern California
Its obvious how bad homelessness is(which its ALWAYS BEEN REAL BAD)
But dont fool yourself that you can magically go live outside of the state and have a lot more money.
Arizona and Tennesee both have employers who pay low wages even tho housing/rentals have skyrocketed....especislly in 2023....it was already getting expensive very early into the pandemic....and a lot of other big cities cant even handle the rise in population.
Driving around the outskirts of Nashville is HORRIBLE because most roads are 1 or 2 lanes in each directions and you have very limited choices on how to reach a destination
Another issue is all the corporate landlords buying up properties and raising the rent to ridiculous levels.
The first things my wife said when she moved from San Jose, CA. to be with me in Florida is "What, where are all the homeless?" and "How do things cost so much less here?" Amazing when you realize that smaller Government IMPROVES life.

OC WAS the most relevant consistently republican voting county for the last 40 years in the nation until last election cycle. 100% due to demographic change. My county, San Diego county had been consistently red until very recently with exception to the city of SD itself. I am SO TIRED of videos like this saying "Californians moving here making our state blue!" It's. not. true. Left wing people FLOCK to California. Native born Californians like me grow up here and have a multitude of values opposing those of the people who decide to move here due to political belief. I recommend Johnathan Haidt's 'The Righteous Mind' on this subject. People are born more consciousness or more cautiousness. I cannot help where i was born and raised, I can help where I go in this beautifully free USA. People like me are pushed more inland, away from the beaches and palm trees where the transplants move (as external demand jacks up price). We leave with reluctance because we cannot afford it here anymore... EVEN in our east county cowboy towns of Lakeside and Santee. Our friends and family live here, we have roots here. These transplants destroyed our state. Born and raised and afraid I have to move. I am one of MILLIONS of conservatives that have no voice because this state has gone so left. We don't vote left in the states we leave to. Demographic change is the reason Texas went purple. A simple geographic fact coupled with zero federal immigration enforcement an fantastic weather compared to the liberal minded northern frigid wastelands. It was only a matter of time in our globalized world.

Born and raised in CA, my father landed there after WWII and raised a family of 8 children. As I grew up in a staunchly democratic family I fell right into the mold of being a good democrat. l volunteered on the Carter campaign and even had the opportunity to attend a small group meeting with Carter. However, as the disastrous four years of Carter administration progressed, I moved backwards in almost all measurable ways, (sound familiar to today's issues?) I gradually realized what the democrat policies were doing to me, the state and the nation as a whole. By the time Regan came into office I had completed a 180 degree turn-around and backed Regan 100%. I was exiled from my family for leaving the democrat party and supporting "that evil man Ronald Regan". (note that several of my sisters still will not talk to me, to this day.) The Regan years were full of opportunity for all, and I took full advantage of it, learning to work hard and not look to the government to meet all of my needs. I lived in CA until it became apparent that CA was an all around loosing proposition. I escaped in 1998, tired of the repressive omnipresence of government, excessive taxes, commuting and the crazy CA lifestyle. I've not had one minute of regret with pulling the plug on democrats, anti-people policies, high taxes, repressive government, etc.
