    I've lived in the desert my entire life (Las Vegas 17 years, then to phoenix for 3ish, then back in Vegas now. Almost 25. You have been such a big inspiration to turn my life around when I had no job and living in a motel with my dog. I paid for weeks of motel living with credit cards and food with credit cards... when I finally found a place and work within a week of eachother after living in a motel for almost 3 months.. I set on a path to rebuild... now I currently have a new car, 1 used as a project/show truck, an apartment, dog is healthy, I'm healthy, I'm in management after less than 1 year of being a mechanic and still soaring to new heights including financially with less than $100 of cc debt recurring and a personal loan for $6000 (before all that) paid off... idk if you read comments or care.. but I would love to have a chance to meet you since you're now in the best state and best town. It would mean a lot

    Food for thought: Remember that California versus the other states are the way they are because of their fiscal policy. When people move out from California, they should consider a change to their policy mindset. If people moving out from California want to keep their old ideals, they need to remember that it comes at a very high cost. A large part of these ideals and fiscal policies are driven by the voters. Some would argue that how one votes can impact fiscal policy.

    • @pstwr
      @pstwr 3 года назад +13

      Yep, California has a huge wealth gap issue. As usual, California is just a little ahead of the curve, but as you see more Tesla's and Peloton's pop up in your area, watch out for the wealth gap issue to rear it's head in your neighborhood. You'll see the rich Californian's taking their wealth out of state to avoid the taxes. They'll take their wealth "creation" businesses to your area and enhance the wealth gap. For example, if a wealthy real estate investor leaves LA and heads to, say, NV, they will gradually pull local wealth up to the top. They'll outbid local investors, raise prices, and then rent those properties back to locals at higher than current market prices. In summary, if you hate what you see in California, you might actually hate capitalism. Because what it does, in the end, is push all the wealth to the very top, leaving the vast majority broke and destitute.

      Which means that everyone else living in the state of poverty thinks it's the social norm and widely accepted. To actually take the steps to deviate from that norm would indicate to everyone else that you think you're special, don't want to be with them, and oddly enough BAD for not wanting to accept what is normal to "everyone". They will feel butt hurt and may even attack you for it all the while you're just trying to escape the herd mentality of poor people.

California is working on a law that would allow them to tax you, even if you leave California up to 10yrs after you've left California and this would be retroactive so anyone who has already left would be chased after.
      Now the odds of that being enforced, I'm not sure what they would have to do because that's insane despotic BS that Commiefornia is trying to push but we're already in a dystopian nightmare where everything fake is pushed as the truth.

There's no way you have the highest taxes in the country yet have no money to spend on programs for addiction and homelessness, the roads look like a third-world country, and the disparity between rich and poor there is astronomical. Oddly enough, LA represents all the things the common-man democrat vote against. I see it happening. Used to cruise into work uneventful.

So I packed up and moved to Oklahoma City. While I love the lower cost of living, I plan to move to Dallas to fit more of my lifestyle. Honestly uprooting out of a state I grew up in was a culture shock, but it's one of the best decisions I've made. I'm glad you are enjoying the new lifestyle!
