Is California Over?

- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- For well over a century, California was synonymous with the American dream. By the early 1960s, it had become the most populous state in the country. Now its population is declining for the first time in recorded history-The reasons behind California's decline aren't hard to fathom.

California ranks 8th in combined state and local tax burdens, forcing residents to kick in an effective rate of 11.5 percent of their income just for being alive. What do they get in return? Public schools that rank 37th in the country, insanely expensive housing, rolling blackouts, and power shortages. An above-average violent crime rate and the nation's highest poverty rate.
Gov. Gavin Newsom faces a recall election in the fall partly due to his hypocrisy regarding his own stringent lockdown rules. Rather than grapple with his state's sinking status, he has chosen instead to deny reality.
As California loses a congressional seat, Texas is picking up two; demographers predict it may become the most populous state by 2045. Texas may not have the beaches, the forests, the celebrities, or the glamour. It'll just have the jobs, the companies, the forward momentum, and the people.

If you’re coming to Texas, remember you’re coming as a refugee and not a missionary
Im not even from The US, but europe, i must say Thats very based, will be stealing this phrase
It's already starting rip texas
@@cschwind7771 not true, watch Red Eagle Politics he explains it
Im not aware if so :) but we still get trickle amount americans coming to Nothern europe as always
I’m from California Nd I want to move to Texas, not to change it. I just wish California would pull their heads out their a*#’s Nd realize most of the choices being made are unconstitutional!!! It’s so hard to live here, my daughter is due tomorrow Nd I’m worried for the future here in Cali. Keep up the dream work Texas
Moved to California Aug 2004. Sold home and left for good June 2019. BEST decision I ever made and I refuse to look back.
You just looked back

I heard they will tax you anyways with some new (cough bullshzzzz law) they are trying to pass to get taxes from former residents up to 10 yrs
I am still in California at 77 years old living on retirement. Makes me sad what has happened to my state.
Thanks Jerry Brown. (sarc)
Thanks Gavin Newsom. (sarc)
I hope you didn't vote for those Demonrats. If so, cannot feel sorry for you.
The idiot repubs are the ones who screwed up the state!
@@curtishunter6388 I didn't know Republicans pushed the excessive taxes and unaffordable state pensions. But don't worry, Newsome is banning gas powered mowers and requiring the sale of gender neutral dolls, so all will be well.

SWARTZENAGER STARTED SCREWING UP CALIFORNIA AWHILE BACK AND LOOK WHAT ITS TURNED INTO. A JOKE😥
As someone who was born and raised in Northern California, I would have to say that the state's biggest problem would be so many Californians live there. I got the hell out 3 years ago, and I tell my neighbors in Montana that I was in Federal prison before I moved, just so I wouldn't be judged too harshly based on where I was living before I relocated.
Cuz freaks KNOW!
@@IIII...... I got a question how does voting help change the population? And if so pls explain me as I am dumb
Northern California isn't bad tho people will think ur some Hollywood guy if you tell I live in Socal like me
@@IIII...... ok but also tell me how can voting Republicans help california? On its economy
Why would any one judge any one for where they lived? Do you mean judge your perceived politics?
Remember when we thought it would be a giant earthquake that destroyed California? More innocent times.
Now we are dabbling with Communist doctrine.
might be the final nail, we'll have to wait
Would be better tbh
Yes, We never thought it would be at the hands of the people that RUN THE STATE!
The Great Reset. Everything is going 100% according to Plan. Plandemic. Trump ushered it in using Covid as the Trojan Horse.
The problem is that people will leave California over these problems, yet they will vote in the same people and policies they were feeling California over.
Because liberals are in fact insane. Meaning they lack the ability to understand they are reason for moving and import policies that made them leave. That is insanity.
i agree with that. I have seen it happen over and over. vote for whoever promises the most pie in the sky
Our elections have been rigged/stolen for years. There are more Conservatives here than anyone knows. We've just had our votes flipped/adjudicated for decades.
@@lyn7446 Many California natives have wanted two states for the past 50 years .... due to population growth. You think democrats want to give up 55 electoral votes !
I can't wait to leave California someday ..... maybe my republican vote will count in a red state :)

@John Mike And if I were? 66 and going to 120. Thanks for your interest.
As a 5th generation California native, our family is sickened by what the far left Democrats have done to our once beautiful State. So many people have left the State that we no longer have enough voting age Conservatives, voting legally, to take back this state from the Marxist/ Socialist/ Communists. I would leave again too, if I could… several family members and friends already have. We are trapped by inflation and the housing market and age. A sickening thing to watch happening throughout this whole Country!
This actually shows how bad our leadership really is.
And Biden is trying to model the rest of the union after California.
Covid did not come from. a lab in wuhan. It doesn't even exist. The borders are open. Because they want to get as many. Vaccinated. As possible.... on the entire globe. They are desperate to get us all chipped. They've been doing it to dogs and cats. for years. why not humans? What's happening has never been about covid, it's been all about getting entire globe chipped. They knew immigrants would take the vaccine for the op to get into America.
How can people not see T for what he is? He speaks from both sides of his mouth, lies, disrespects, and is the epitome of a narc. Furthermore, he pats himself on the back all the time, is evil personified and if he is "Installed" again, we might as well throw in the towel.
trump didn't create the. vaccines. they were created YEARS ago, but he takes credit...and why would someone want to take credit for a vaccine that was created for genocide to begin with? trump couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

How is California going to tax it's way into prosperity when only the homeless are left?
Yep. I wanna abandon ship but family is here. Either here or Washington. 😞
Actually it's not just the homeless. It's the homeless and the uber wealthy. It has become a 2-class system (just like the way it is in 3rd world countries). Slaves and their masters.
The truly rich can easily afford to live in Cali, and they are willing to pay what it takes for the weather, the beaches and whatnot. But it is the *_middle class_* that has been DESTROYED in the process, and who are leaving in DROVES.
@@747-pilot Yeah, a cool co-worker of mine grabbed his family and went to South Carolina. I follow him on SnapChat, such beauty. He bought a just-built home on a 0.8 acre for 240K. Freaking crazy cheap!! 😱😅
They have a plan called the 'exit state law" where they tax fleeing people for 10 years
@@mr.joshua204 Not sure how they intend to enforce that, but if they end up pulling some skeezy crap like garnishing wages, we can all just take a quick trip back to Cali and steal small amounts to make it all back. Many of the big cities are no longer prosecuting misdemeanor crimes, so it's open season on shoplifting. Just leave alone the few mom-and-pop shops that have somehow managed to survive in that wasteland state, and do it to the big corporate chains that openly support woke ideology. After all, petty theft is just reparations, right?
Traditional liberals, to “Marxist revolutionaries”, to leftist anarchy. My wife’s aunt and uncle live in Orange County and have finally decided to throw in the towel and move out of Cali after 28 years.
Good go back where they came from
California used to be the land of milk and honey. Now it is the land of feces on the sidewalks, homeless everywhere, and rampant out of control crime. As a lifelong Californian, it did not use to be this way. So sad.
Tell the truth - they leave because they can make a bundle on the sale of their home and can live like kings in most of the dusty podunk towns away from the coast. Having 28 years of housing appreciation and, if it their primary residence, pay no taxes on that appreciation makes for moving from a high cost of living to a lower cost of living very, very attractive.

@@democratsarecancer1228 See the weird thing about California is that most of the people outside of cities vote Republican. So there are fairly large number of towns that have more traditional and sane people living there. I left because California's leadership is horrendous and laughable. I think the crazy liberals are going to stay there until things start getting Portland/Minneapolis bad, which is going to take a few more years. So TX rly should prepare for the people who have YET to flee the state, BECAUSE only the crazy people want to stay there. Most normal people I talked to living there didn't like how things were, and only stuck around because of family or work.

The capitalist juggernaut that is California has one-eighth of the U.S. population of 327.7 million. It’s a third the size of Japan, half of Germany and not quite two-thirds of the U.K. But its economic strength looms larger than any of them. Just about every measure of growth shows that the Golden State is peerless among developed economies for increasing population, expanding gross domestic product, creating patents, attracting venture capital, improved joblessness, rising personal income, investment in innovation, and wealth created by its stocks and bonds. Few of the 34 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development come close to California’s 3 percent average annual growth rate for the most recent five-year period - more than 2.2 percent for the 50 states and the 2.4-percent average for the 19 countries sharing the euro currency.
i am so happy i got to grow up in Santa Monica and see it when it was a just a humble town with a little double feature theatre, a grocery store, and some shops. The 84 olympics marathon runners ran right by our street. We had chickens and fruit trees. Left our doors unlocked. Walked to school at age 6 unsupervised. Cirque Du Soleil was a tiny circus that visited the Santa Monica Pier, performing under one white tent. Kids break danced by the merry-go-round. 3rd street promenade was a an abandoned shopping strip. Santa Monica Mall was small, quiet. Life was so fricken awesome. It was cool without trying so hard to be cool.
Yeah!! 84 was a long way back in history!! I was born there in 1952. I remember when Leave it to Beaver was on TV and no one walked around with military grade weapons ready to stand their ground!!!
1984 , I lived near the Colosseum I was 18 and my friends and I would ride our bikes to the beach, drink out of garden hoses, eat real Big Macs for 1.00. The negative of those times was the smog you could see two blocks, I don’t get why they say our air today is so dirty .
All gone now
It was cool without trying so hard to be cool...
My Aunt lived in Santa Monica many years ago! Im in 🇨🇦😁
We always knew “the big one” would hit one day in CA. We just thought it would be geological not political-social.
lol i couldn’t agree more
I didn’t think that either

Does a shit storm count as a geological big one? I mean they have poop patrols for a reason!
@@rahn45 that’s actually a good question, they are just like storm chasers
I abandoned that ship nearly ten years ago and moved to one of the flyover states no one cares about. My friends all laughed. Now they ask me if I have any room.
I live in a flyover state too! It's wonderful here except the winter!
I did the same. But, they're still happy in their sinking ship, blaming capitalism for the failure of their socialism.
@@societyofrobots It's sad. Not too long ago I went back because my dad passed away and I had to settle his affairs and sell his house. I was stunned to see what my old neighborhood looked like and how far it had decayed. It looked third world and just....ugly.
Damn
Good for you Fester7960. I moved to California back in 1976, had a rough road when I first moved to California, now it is 2121 my wife and I own our home free and clear, we are retired, live in a fantastic basically conservative county, our health is great, we live quite well even with the BS the Democrats have done in parts of California, not all of California, just parts. P.S. Much success to you, but I am quite happy living in California. I'm a fighter not a quitter who runs away from adversity, that's why I stayed in California to fight the freaking Democrats. I lived in the Midwest, and the Southwest, and had little success, moved to California and did better then I could ever dream I could. Bought a home in the 80's for $290,000, sold it for $1.300,000, I'll take that any day. PEACE!
Let's not forget that california can not provide water to its citizens
Because politics control whether or not droughts happen. I forgot

There is an amazing number of vacant buildings in LA, open them up to the homeless, the same thing in SF, intelligent leadership has been the biggest short fall of that state.
I hope you live in sf or la to make those claims because that’s not the case at all this isn’t Detroit or New olrleans
SF tried using old hotels as homeless shelters. All it did was cause more homeless to move there, particularly since the attendants "checking in" the guests were also selling them drugs.
You can't give homes to the homeless! Then there would be no more homeless! That's genocide!
“Texas may not have beaches and forest...”
Gulf of Mexico? And basically all of east Texas is forest and piney woods??
Texas also has mountains. I can see them out my window every morning.
what part?
Guadalupe's, I live in NM but can see the highest point in TX from my house
They don’t know nothing about Texas for real 🤣
Ppl talking about a state they don't know anything about.. stupidity at it's finest.
Texas does have beaches , rivers and plenty of lakes plenty of forest. Just saying.
So do many states across this great country. But it takes more then that to feel comfortable in the state where you live. Lived in the Midwest, and the Southwest, and both areas did nothing for me financially, moved to California worked hard, and my wife and I own our own home free and clear, and life is good. I'm a conservative, and I am also a fighter, that is why we are working hard to get rid of Gavin Newsom.
Don't forget the entire gulf coast, that's a pretty big beach!
Yes texas does have cool beaches ! but it just lacks mountains :( the only real mountain city is el paso .
Wait... When did Texas plant that 2nd and 3rd tree?? 😂😁
Most importantly, Texas has Great People! In Texas people Ride Bulls, not Spread it
"The weather in Texas and Florida is awful by California standards." So true. I grew up in Texas. There were many things I liked about it. But when I came to California on vacation I couldn't leave. I made this place my home. The weather in San Diego is the best in the world. Sunny and 70 all year. No rain. Sure I have to put up with a crazy governor. Who cares when I can play golf and ride my motorcycle everyday out of the year. Or go fishing in the Pacific Ocean. And our economy is the 5th largest in the world. Plenty of jobs. The best state university system in the country. A lot more good here than bad.
No lol there's way more bad than good
@@staple_boi I'll get back to you when I get home from Blue Fin Tuna fishing off the coast.
Listen, I cannot agree with you more! I’ve lived on the east coast of America and I’m now BACK IN CALIFORNIA BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND I WILL NEVER LEAVE AGAIN!!!!!!! People will forever hate on California and Californians because they couldn’t make it here or they’ve never been here. God kissed this land. I’m from LA county but currently in Palm Springs and I’m living my best life out here. I even posted a video of God’s beauty on my channel if you want to take a look. BEST CLIMATE, BEST FOOD!!! In n out, blue fin, shakeys pizza, Tommy’s burgers, Castañeda’s, REAL MEXICAN FOOD!!!!!!!! they have EVERYTHING here. They don’t have SHIT on the east coast. All it does it rain, snow, angry ass Boston cigarettes and Dunkin’ Donuts coffee people. Ugly witch house brick buildings. We couldn’t take it anymore and Jesus Of Nazareth brought us back here. This state will always have jobs exactly like you said it’s one of the largest economies in the world! Just this state alone!
I’m sorry for my rant, I had to. I love it here and I don’t care how bad it gets.. everyone is saying leave California and go there and there. NEVER!!!!!! This is where I’m going to live and die. I can finally think for once, I can see the sky out here, everything is so chill and spread out and laid back.. I’m calm and my anxiety is gone. Just thank you God.. sorry again for the rant. I needed to share this with someone who loves this beautiful land as much as I do.. and as much as my fiancé does who was born in LA. God bless you.

Remember when that guy built a bunch of tiny houses for the homeless in order to give them temporary shelter
And the city of LA shut him down
and destroyed the box houses
The houses would had been smeared in shit and needles in no time
Then they built $700,000.00 condo for the downtrodden to relax in which they were never were going to go into cuz they couldn't get high and had some rules to live by no one moved in and there corruption machine kicked in, these are not homeless people these are street campers and drug addicts and alcoholics and criminals that's all....

Remember, when before you vote, DO NOT vote based on what you hear on TV, vote based on a politician's track record, and what certain industries you are involved with say about them.
(It could be the firearm industry, environmental preservation industry, car, restaurant, sports, construction, or farming industry. Do the people in these industries have nice things to say about the politician you're voting for?)
Unless your industry is the legal industry. The ACA only increased the administration costs of healthcare (mostly lawyers and paralegals). Same with pretty much every draconian regulation that exists in New York. One thing Cuomo did was convince me to become a Republican from being an independent.

It is so challenging to live here. Everything is challenging. The people, the taxes, the utilities, real estate, traffic, cost of living, the philosophy of education, the extreme ‘wokeness’. I consider myself very open minded but do not understand ‘the rules’ here.

All I hear is haters
as a californian, i can say that yes. we are over
Same. But I got out
I've always thought that the cost of living ratio between CA and the rest of the country can only be stretched so far before it breaks. Politics completely aside, you just can't have a cost of living that's so many times higher than the rest of the country before it causes an outflow. I'm in tech, and the for the last 20 years I've worked almost exclusively for CA based companies, but I live in PA and work remotely. I would never move to CA to live in a house one quarter the size for five times the price.
I'm a self taught developer, moved to Arizona, but most developer friends I have live in California. The cost of living here with my wages puts me in a position almost 4 times better than my californian counter parts. It's really really insane people stay there.
Then you should definitely look at Catherine Austin Fitts Planet Lockdown. She speaks of those in Tech. She's brilliant.
Sadly, we can't leave the "politics completely aside." It is one of the main reasons why it is soooo expensive to live in California.
do you pay cally taxes on your income?
Politics is why this is happening and in not even American but it's obvious
I'm actually planning on leaving later this year too. Rent is very expensive and still rising every year, gas is always high, my utilities such as electric, water and sewage go up every year.. Plus houses are expensive as hell! Don't get me wrong I have a good paying job but even with my income If I were to buy a house here I would pretty much be living paycheck to paycheck every month. There are houses in my town listed for sale at $500k+ and yet the majority of those are very old, outdated and in need of major upgrades.. Many of them sit on the market for over a year unsold. and yes... Don't worry.. wherever I end up moving to there is no way in hell I'm voting for the same idiots with their bad policies.
Your comment should have at least a 1000 likes.
I would move if I knew for certain I could find a job. I can't roam the streets hoping to catch a break. I'm too old for that.
California might have high paying jobs. But what is the point if people live there paycheck to paycheck. And those stupid Librals still want more socialism and more taxes.

California: Used to be the "wild west", as well as a place where Americans from the other coast would spend months traveling across the continent in the hopes of starting a business or finding gold. Places today, like Texas are what california was 125 years ago.

The best thing that could happen to California is it would just break off and float away....
But doesn’t California have a good economy considering that I went to visit New Mexico and saw some fruits that were from California?
We actually do have beaches and mountains in Texas though....
Not saying they're comparable but still.
I was thinking that Nick's assessment of Texas's natural splendours was rather negative. I only know it from Westerns and the like, but it seems like there's some spectacular scenery in some areas...
@@chiefsittingstill6061 There is nice coastline in the south at places like Galveston and Corpus Christi, piney woods in East Texas, “hill country” in Central Texas where people have lots of wineries, desert climates in West Texas in places like Big Bend National Park and El Paso, and the Great Plains really start at the Texas Panhandle. There is a variety of natural environments in Texas, though admittedly there isn’t anything like Yosemite, Redwood Forest, or Big Sur here. California really is a beautiful state, and most of Texas is pretty flat and temperate. North Texas has some of the best weather in all the South though.
Yeah, the third coast certainly isn't comparable to the Pacific or Atlantic, much more blue collar. But hey, I'd rather have a good job and settle for the Gulf and then go back to my affordable two acres of land than a studio apartment.
And South Padre Island!
LOL no.... There are no mountains in Texas.... the place fucking sucks in regards to natural, wild beauty.
It is a case study of the flaws of democracy. Rule by the people requires that they hold their government accountable to objective results. One-party rule can annihilate a state.
I wouldn't say that's so much a flaw of democracy, because stupid people can ruin absolutely anything. *ANYTHING.* Nothing is 'fool-proof'.
The ancient Greeks discovered it had quite a few problems when invaders elected themselves and took over towns. Direct Democracy never fully came back from that. Now we have a Representative Democracy and Democratic Republic. Rule by the many can self-destruct if not in some way limited. Mob Rule is not compatible with individual freedom. Gang rape is democratic, but it is horrifically authoritarian.

Then it is kind of hard to feel sorry for them. People have to stop voting in the politicians who are becoming millionaires while their cities and state fail.

Not everyone and the democrats likely cheat anyway. When everyone working the pols are wearing BLM shirts do you really think it’s all on the level?
The voting is rigged and no one as the balls to do anything about it.
Well they'll keep voting them in.the democratic party gives them just enough money to stay high all month.told the cops to stand down, and not arrest individuals who are in possession of drugs. Basically not arrest them for any crimes they commit. It seems to be their intentions for the rest of the country.

That will help you avoid needing that major chunk. Another option is to check into larger farms, especially dairy, near areas you want to move.

This is the issue with centrally planned cities.
If you leave a private city, the city would be punished monetarily.
If you leave a socialised city, its easier for the party that made it shit in the first place to maintain its power because you're no longer voting.
Oh hey, it's literally the only person in all of anime remotely worth respecting
California is not centrally planned. It's a capitalist state in a capitalist country. Secondly, cities are not companies. You don't hop around between cities like different brands of food, looking for another when you don't like something about it anymore. You have friends and family and your home. When you can't afford living there, leaving would never be your first choice. A private city is just such a disconnect from humanity and reality. If the leadership is shit you should participate in it. It's not all about ideology. If the living conditions are too shit, you're sadly gonna be forced out.
Most cities, especially the older, larger ones, were never 'planned'. Various events, resources, and industries grew them over time and most development simply 'happened' without any actual planning. And then other events, or resources drying up, or industries collapsing, etc. causes them to decline.
What constitutes a 'private' city?
What in the fuck are you talking about? There are no private cities or socialized cities and the only place you'll find devoid of central government are criminal dens like Somalia, or the cartel controlled regions of Mexico. Also a party can make a place shit by removing restrictions and opening up to the free market, that's what happened to the rust belt when they couldn't compete with borderline slave labour from China and India, and other competitors in general like Japan or Germany.
They also need money.
I just worry about those states where the Califorians are moving TO. Most people are smart enough to leave a sinking ship, but many aren't smart enough to realize that the people THEY voted into office are the ones who torpedoes their own ship.
