On November 5th, the presidential elections will be held in the U.S. The electoral campaign, as expected, is moving at full speed.
But among industrial policy, tariffs on China, and support for Ukraine, there is one issue that is gaining more and more weight in the political debate: the massive loss of residents in some Democratic strongholds like California and New York. In this video, we tell you all the details.

Visual Politik: “Why does San Francisco… the California capital…”
Sacramento: am I a joke to you?
Yes 😂
How can you trust the video if such a basic thing gets through the vetting process?
@sloppynyuszi the quality went way down once Simon left.
Most non Californians would guess Sac is the Capital. Sowwie 😂

You might be misaing the fact that yes you can steal up to $2000 without it being a felony, but the person you are stealing from can rightfully shoot you. So the cost of the same act in texas is vastly different than in california
it's like that one scene in Robocop... "What's it like being a rocket scientist?"
This so much.
Personally, this is why I leftt the bay area for a rural Virginia home: I can build my own home with my own timber, without neighbors that report me to the county for depreciating their property value. and find better work here. Basically, I don't value vineyards, restaurants, billionaires, and the golden gate bridge so I don't need to compete with others who do.
So no NIMBY's
You have started living life on your own terms, great for you man ^^
The answer is literally one sentence:
Housing is too expensive due too political capture by local real estate groups and NIMBY types
This
Yes but also all the subsidies being given out only raises home prices even more. How money works made a great video explaining the housing crisis.
one sentence.....they have turned blue states into a terrible place to live ...and thanks to their migration and voting there....they gonna turn red states into same terrible mess.
Also ultra strict building codes and overbearing bureaucracy makes it a pain in the rear for anyone to want to build single family homes.
How about criminal activity. Why is that not even part of the calculations. It's as if crazy dangerous people don't ruin property or cause people to flee.
Cost of living, blue states have higher housing costs.
Victim of their own success, people have wanted to live there, and new housing construction has not kept apace.
ding ding ding. This is not new. Cali has been way too expensive to survive since i was in grade school.
So ironic that progressive liberals hate building more homes. They care about poor people as long as they don't live near them

Doesn't texas actually have relatively high taxes too, just in property tax as opposed to income tax (which is unconstitutional in texas?)?
Sure the houses are cheaper, but I've heard the property tax rates are actually higher on average in texas.
Don’t forget huge numbers of religious christians have left because they are sick of the LGBT extremism and the closing of churches during the pandemic. They have left for red states with more like minded people.
But will probably still vote blue no matter what smh
@@eazypeazy33 on the surface that might seem correct however, the Idaho Republican party did a poll of recent move-ins to Idaho from the West Coast and found that 98% of those moving into Idaho were conservatives.
“Louisiana, Arkansas, these are red states with high crime rates.”
And where is the crime located at in these localities? Blue areas with lots of ethnic minorities.
And then spin it up to be more like racist. Oh have I gave you an idea?
So, you're saying the blue cities in red states have much more ethnic minorities and crime than blue cities in blue states.
Yet somehow the cities with the highest amount of violent crime on a per-resident basis are almost exclusively in red or purple states, & state governments have more power than local governments. Hmmmmm, wonder what could be driving that then......
Any more populated place will have more crime. Per capita it’s more dangerous there due to higher carrying rates of guns and more sensitive reaction to perceived social slights.
If you can prove that then please send me some link....
He brought up red states with high crime rates but left out that these states are dominated by one huge blue city. Example such as New Orleans in Louisiana.
Lol, cope harder.
Oklahoma has Oklahoma City and another Tulsa both the majority of the population lives in and guess what those two cities have in common they both ran by democrats and the councils are dems to
I hated California. It felt like there was a committee somewhere saying "Do we have a law about this? No? Okay, shall we make it illegal or compulsory?" Now I'm back in the UK, even this place is too much and I'm looking to get a farm somewhere in Eastern Europe. Ironic for someone who grew up in the '80s to look to the former Eastern Bloc in search of freedom.
Indeed this is very worrisome. Don't know if it's safe to be in Eastern Europe when Putin is working on bringing them back to its former Soviet fold?
@@willywonka4340I'm in Eastern Europe and unless you're in Belarus and Ukraine, this is not an issue. My country is not much different from other Western European countries, we just don't have immigrants (just jpsees which is almost equally bad).
@@ginismoja2459 I can see that, the part about being safe from the mayhem there in Ukraine and Belarus. I'm thinking in terms of how far will Putin go. Will he be satisfied with Ukraine if he is to win, as in Ukraine losing the entire sovereignty to Russia? I really hope not. Too many unnecessary bloodshed for very unjustifiable motive. Anyway I digress. 😆 Yeah I recalled having a Gypsy family as neighbor here in socal when I was younger back in the 80s, they were the chill kind who were friendly and wouldn't have done any harm to anyone. Not to say that Gypsies are all the same. 🤷♂️ For what it's worth, thanks for your contribution to this discussion 😁
Whoah...! How times have changed, eh?
Which freedom? Like to pollute without limitation?
In Europe, when there are rules, it's for a reason and a good one.
I wish more of the Californians moving to red states would appreciate the culture that attracted them to their new home and acclimate to it. Otherwise, they're moving their problems with them and turning their new homes into the mess they moved away from. I saw this in my home state.
most Californians moving to Texas and Nevada are conservative.
Liberal Californians are moving to Arizona and Colorado
@patrickgallagher9069
I have heard from some conservative exCalifornians that moved to Texas that they hate it. Sure they have the bigger house, more guns (I’m not sure why), less taxes?, but they don’t identify with the culture, hate the weather, and don’t have the social support they built in the states they left. 🤷🏽♀️
To your point, they move with all their unaddressed mental baggage and expect the culture of the new place to be the same as their previous state
@@spacemario Austin and Houston would disagree.

As a NYer, this is why I have considered it:
-my property taxes in Nassau County, Long Island, NY are absolutely insane and it’s going towards ridiculous projects
-Manhattan’s DA has lowered the crime rate by not prosecuting crimes. He likes criminals rather than law abiding tax payers
-remote work means I don’t have to stay here
**And the kicker: our governor has declared that dismemberment is not a violent crime worthy of bail..that is ridiculous and insanity
After my kid is done with high school, if nothing changes, I will be leaving

There's no crime stats if they let them go...
This is some of the soundest logic that I have heared in a very long time; as of all languages you choose to speak facts😂
More factual than this channel. These progressives would never consider that
This is especially true for rape and cancer statistics 😅
However, murder statistics are more reliable since murders usually get reproted
@@philoslother4602 I get rape stats but why cancer?
Even in red states that you mentioned have high crime rates, those crime rates come from cities that are very blue. For example: New Orleans, St. Louis, Birmingham, Memphis, etc… and we all know what the common denominator between all those cities are even if people refuse to admit/say it.
Red states have high crime rates in the rural areas as well
The basketball people are the common denominator and people refuse to acknowledge because they don't want to be labelled with the r word
@amayzus Virtually every city in the US is a blue city regardless if they're in a red state or a blue state. For every crime ridden blue city in red states like New Orleans and St. Louis, you get blue cities in blue states like San Diego, San Jose, Seattle, and New York that have low crime rates comparable to Europe. That is hardly any correlation between blue cities and high crime rates, rather a statistical coincidence since 90% of all large cities are liberal. The real issue isn't the fault of "blue cities" being soft on crimes, it's red states being gun happy and doing nothing to relieve poverty nor improve education.
If everything is so great and that all reasons given are lies, than why are they leaving? It's the bureaucracy that forces people to leave. Because it take ten years to approve a building and then have the project cancelled because the shadow it casts interfere with a playground.
It's mainly the cost of living... blue states tend to have higher taxes because they tend to have way more and better social services especially for the poor .
They go to red states to vote democrats!!
@@MB-xw3nrhell naw, you would actually think that would be the case. But hell naw , we all know the politicians launder the money to themselves! 😂😂
There is no affordable housing since the government gave private equity tacit approval to destroy the real estate market in 2017. Especially in a state like California that is extremely overpopulated.
@@MB-xw3nr A major part of it is the aging of infrastructure. LA for example isn't a new city anymore. How do you think all of those pipes, powerlines, roads, schools, etc. get maintained and replaced? Money is required. In the U.S. we made the mistake of allowing our cities to sprawl out and we didn't keep them dense enough to be viable in the long run. T
You’re clearly missing a lot of details which would lead to a different conclusion. Cali doesn’t enforce their limit, Texas does.
And in texas (or much of it), you can defend yourself and your property if things go sideways.
Weird how you think you debunked the crime cause using stats, but couldn't tell the most obvious problem with using that data.
Police and enforcers in these "soft-on-crime" states don't even bother arresting or acting on smaller crime anymore so no reports are made. The vast majority of smaller crime is now going completely unreported.
Red state enforcers on the other hand, do something once the line is crossed which is why even with Texas's higher $2500 petty crime limit, if you cross that, you are actually going to face consequences instead of being arrested and out without cost less than 24 hours later.
He also kept on interchanging stats on San Fran with California is state as a whole.
If the victims don’t un alive the criminals with their legal phew phews.
Also most crime in Louisiana happens in Baton Rogue, New Orleans, and Shreveport, which are blue cities. Same is true with all red states, Missouri has most crime in KC and STL. Its more clear if you look at crime rates on a municipal level
@@bradleyanderson4315 Which, let's face the key fact.... if someone looking to steal something walks into a store, and sees a few people, and at least one of them has a gun on their hip... he's going to look somewhere else simply because he won't know if the others are armed as well... so why risk it?
Meanwhile, in California or NY, odds are pretty good that no one in that store will have a gun, even in their own homes... so yoink away.
They’ve been cracking down on “smaller crimes” across the state in recent times. Our LEO’s had to prioritize emergencies during and after COVID, hence why certain crimes weren’t worth their time.
Why do you claim that people are fleeing blue states in general when you only talk about Caifornia?
Because the video is click bate and isn’t even true, as a % of population more people from Florida move to California than Californians to Florida as an example
@@StrikeBolteafc ur reply was clickbait. overall, more people are fleeing blue states for red states, than vice versa.
@@markkay4224 partially because that blue states fund red states, funny how republicans talk about people on benefits when dems subsidise republican states plus more republicans are on benefits if it’s than democrats, maybe they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop leaching of blue states incomes but less people would move to the red states if that happened.
@@markkay4224 Intelligent people are fleeing blue states, the migrants are fleeing to blue states. The migrants outnumber Americans in most blue states now.
Include NY, NJ, IL then.
People are shocked they actually need to pay for the social programs they voted for
But that's the problem, the people who voted for the social programs don't pay, they elect people who will steal the money from people who actually work.
The problem is many of those social programs in those propositions are funded by debt. That is why I always vote no on them because while it is nice to do social programs, I can’t support debt funded social programs. Only debt I would agree to take is for productive investments like in infrastructure.
"they are so soft on crime that people have stopped talking about it."
That's an interesting way to look at this discrepancy.
A lot of it also isn't reported as a crime. The crime numbers in these states are pretty much complete bogus.
what do you eman?
@@marvin2678 Typically, most people saw a crime, called 911 to report it, Police came out and dealt with it. But after the "Summer of Love", the police in many major cities no longer have the manpower to dedicate to every 911 call like they previously could. As a result, the perceived notion is that reporting a crime will get no results anyway, so people don't report it. This in turn spurs the Defund crowd to say "See? We don't need the police!", and thus budgets get slashed, and it spirals from there.
The metric to watch however, is insurance claims (IE, have insurance claims spiked), and legal firearm sales. Because if both are going up in an area, then it's an indicator that something is VERY wrong in that area.
Somebody second guessing Fox News and people who benefit from bad mouthing other governments? Hearsay! I.. I.. I mean heresy!
They leave blue states to just turn red states blue 😂 AZ, GA and soon TX
that's somewhat true, but don't forget many of the red voters in Cali are going to states that align with their values
@@willywonka4340 why just target Cali.. I live in Sol Cali and around many red voters. They don't leave cause of the weather but hate that it's a very "Dem friendly" state. Honestly I think it's stupid to leave a state you love living just because of voting but America is a weird place
@@TheeRomantic Most Red voters are blue collar folks who can't afford the higher taxes and living costs with the Blue bureaucracy. And those who I know are also competitive shooters who can no longer allowed to use the type of guns legal everywhere else NOT blue politics. So if you see it from their points of view you can empathize their plight. I'm only putting up with this crap here in socal because 1. I can afford it (but for how long?) and 2. I'm a native and couldn't imagine myself anywhere else. 🤷♂️😁 I know that I don't have a chance in hell to turn CA to red again but I'll keep trying lol
This is absolutely true.
330 million Americans in the U.S. of those 330 million over 80% live either within in a city or beside one.
Let that sink in ... over 80% ... The issue is open land doesn't vote. People dont move to red states to invest in them. They move to them to retire and pass away.
There is a reason why Red States are ranked the worse for education, work, safety... People like rights ..
Because they don’t want to suffer the consequences of their actions
100%
exactly that! and that is before i watched the video.
All of that exodus isn't just to red states but blue states too. There are a lot of NY workers that are moving across the Hudson to Jersey city, Newark or Bayonne because rent is cheaper.
In tennessee, we view california as a foreign strange place. Like it isnt even America.

@@TC-zf1jiI’d beg to differ, I’m from California and leaving Cali for a place like Tennessee, Texas, N or S Carolina, or a ny state like that will be an upgrade
That's crazy to say because so many things that are widely known as American have come out of California. More than Tennessee I'm sure, and I'm from North Carolina right next door. Putting your fingers in your ears and saying "lalalalala" doesn't change reality.
@@cesarmadrigal4709until you get here and realize groceries cost more than the west coast, property taxes have exploded since every boomer has arrived, insurance rates have exploded, and you have to deal with constant hurricanes/flooding/tornadoes.
The masses of boomers moving here have ruined the affordability.
And Texas in particular has a 70 year old power grid that is going to cost the state many billions to upgrade. They wanted to go it alone from the feds and will be paying the price in coming years.
@@12time12 so I have already been there, I grew up in California. Joined the military, have family in Kansas who I’ve visited, I’ve gone back to visit my family in Cali and I’ve seen how other states such as Texas have it. Groceries are cheaper, gas is cheaper, cost of living overall is cheaper all while income being sufficient enough to get you that better life. California is a failed state and that’s from me who lived there for 23 years and has seen how other states live, if anyone has a first person point of view it’s me. Im just waiting to get stationed outside of California to enjoy the life that my sister has in a state like Kansas.
Where is your first hand experience from?
not just taxes, but taxes that doesn't go where they were supposedly being used as they were meant to be used. i.e. check the crooked politician's offshore Swiss bank accounts.
One of the most blatant examples out of California I remember off the top of my head was when San Fran supposedly spent 500 million on their homeless problem in a single year and yet it got drastically worse… how much of that money actually went towards the issue? And how much went to friends and family?
@@sisilotau2185 recently during one of his press conferences Gavin Newsom was asked by a reporter who voted for him about the missing 42 (or 24) "B"illion dollars that was allocated to deal with the homeless issues. He went off tangent and started blabbering about something else to divert the question, but seemingly upset, the same reporter asked again, where's the 💰?? Again, Gavin went elsewhere with his reply and that question was never answered. I can swear you can hear pin drop and sweat rolling down his face, and it was uncomfortably cringy if not hilarious 😂
Many years ago I moved to San Francisco after college to find a job. One of my previous housemates had already moved there, so I moved in and we split the cost of his tiny apartment. Anyway, I would get up early every morning to go for interviews which meant going to bed by the lastest 10 or 11pm. One night I had trouble sleeping because of a group of hippies hanging out under my first floor window playing their drum at 1 in the morning. So I went out there to ask them to keep the volume level to a minimum. One thing led to another and before I knew it, I was engaged in a long conversation about their lives, why they're homeless, what they're doing in SF, etc.
This is what they told me: most of the homeless people in SF actually do not come from SF. The vast majority of them are out of state residents who consciously decided to come to San Fran because 1) the mild weather: it's not too hot and not too cold so you can very comfortably sleep outside, 2) the benefits: they get a monthly allowance from the State of CA as homeless individuals, 3) the soup kitchens: SF is dotted with soup kitchens which serve them free meals, 4) the healthcare: they get free healthcare from the state of CA, and 5) acceptance: the people of CA are pretty accepting of them and they aren't being harassed or forced to leave like they are in their home states. One guy came from NYC, another one came from Chicago, etc. They told me, why live on the streets in the freezing cold in Chicago when you can enjoy the mild, year-round weather of San Francisco? In addition many US cities give these homeless guys free bus tickets to anywhere in the U.S. just to get rid of them, and they almost always ask for bus tickets to SF.
Unlike many other states, they also get free healthcare in CA. Just go to any public hospital and as long as you can't pay, the state (meaning California taxpayers) picks up the bill. They were actually making fun of me for getting up early in the mornings going to job interviews. They live a great life on the streets, get cash from the State of CA for being homeless, get free food and free healthcare plus they can sleep in the park whenever they want to, wherever they want and they can't be forced to leave. These guys don't see themselves as victims and were actually HAPPY to be homeless in San Fran and said they wouldn't give it up for the world. That little chat REALLY opened my eyes!
the 3 biggest groups of homeless people in my experience are drug addicts who need help, people with mental illness and those that want to be homeless. As strange as the last one sounds, there are people that don't want the responsibility of a job, paying bills, or maintaining a apt/home. Its a mindset I don't understand but it is out there.
@@spencersharp8155 These guys belonged to the latter group. As a matter of fact, they gave me the impression that most of the homeless people in SF belong to this group. They're not interested in getting a job, getting an apartment, etc. They like their lives just the way it is, thank you.
This is true.
That's very very interesting.
The problem is your measuring crime. Most instances of shoplifting aren’t even reported in Cali or nyc. Murders and property crime do not parallel, that’s buffoonish.
Republican projection. You’d think you people would stop accusing people of being groomers after all your politicians, pastors and celebrities get caught “messaging” children
They leave primarily due to lower costs of living… or so they hoped. Then they find the schools lacking and recurring costs like utilities and insurance to be significantly higher than they hoped, but are now stuck being priced out of their previous coastal state.
Also as so many other Californians join them, cost of living in the state they now call home have ballooned too
It's fun and click-baity to continue to talk about people moving from "blue" states, but the problem is that it over-politicizes universally socioeconomic issues. What's never addresssed is the slow death of small towns and rural areas; how some cities are paying people to move there; how industries are moving out of the small towns that rely solely on them and are off to Mexico, China, & other countries they can casually exploit without repercussions; how people have to travel further and further or rely on their local veterinarian for healthcare needs or emergencies; how farmlands are being scooped up by large corporations and how farm equipment is growing more proprietary so that even farming is becoming more expensive and difficultly competitive; how these towns are in the grasp of poverty, heavy drug use, and violence worse than "Chicago" or "Portland" or whichever favorite urban area is the topic of the day per capita. Their whole existence is ignored because it doesn't fit the "blue is bad" narrative that every corner of media picks from the low hanging fruit of what they consider news.
San Francisco and NYC has ALWAYS had higher priced housing. Also, SF is only about 45 sq miles & bumps up against hills and a buttload of water. It's full. NYC shares the same land issue. You can only put so much on finite land. In NYC, they're building upwards, but for the wealthy. A higher population means higher taxes, higher crime rates, more homelessness, etc., but it also means more prosperity, higher wages, more benefits. So, people who are bigger risk takers tend to move to these places where they can gamble it all and win the most.
People have always been nomadic here in the States - even in pre-colonial times. You go where the resources are. Back then, it was food. Post reconstruction, it was jobs without the overt racism. In the 50s onward, it's suburban sprawl & self-segregation. Now, it's affordability & remote jobs. Elderly move from NYC to FL. A lot of people move where either the weather is suitable (for them), the jobs are plentiful, or where they feel culturely "safe". While a great many wouldn't move at all. There are also individuals who have been forced to move, whether it's due to violence, govt actions, or acts of nature. There are plenty of "red" people in "blue" states like California - where Reagan and Arnie were governors, and plenty of "blue" people in "red" states like Texas where Houston and Austin make it purple at best/worst if not for gerrymandering.
People who move from/to places solely for politics are more of the problem than the solution. Politics is abstract, it's an ideal, it's a construct. It would be like moving out of an area because you don't like the state flag, lol. Most are moving to better enrich their lives. When corporations do it, it's "business savvy". We live in a capitalist society. The same applies for people. No one cares what political corner you believe in. People are just trying to survive snd do what's best for themselves and their kids.
U get what u voted for. Plz dont ruin other state
The 2 different parties are like deciding weather to put the toilet paper on the front or back and never agree to a final decision 😆
GDP per capita cannot accurately describe the situation. If you live next to Warren Buffett or Jeff Bezos in the middle of nowhere, are you going to worth billions of dollars?
The only times I was attacked or saw people shooting up drugs in public, was in the city. I prefer living in the suburbs, but I'd prefer a ranch in the middle of nowhere more.
Suburbs and rural areas by both design and population density make it far easier for druggies to get their fix out of public view. Rural meth addicts are still getting their fix even when you can't see them doing it.
So what's your point?
There are now problems living out in the middle of nowhere but YT will censor the reason. (Hint: border)
This story has been over for 6 months now, Austin is now seeing people leave to go back to California. It’s been reversing for a while now.

The joke is that Americans think the democrats are left wing.
You get what you vote for...
It’s because they don’t enforce their laws not because of the laws as written.
Perhaps California could do for poorer people what some states do for rich corporations: offer low or no taxes for a certain time period. Watch thousands of poor to middle class folks flood to California to have no state income tax and no local property tax.
The bottom 50% of the US already pays no taxes. Another 25% pays so little its meaningless. The upper 5% pays for them. That's not going to last long as 9 million successful people leave the US every year instead of seeing their hard work stolen from them.
Poorer people have plenty of options and opportunities. The fact they get free health insurance in California
So let me get this straight. You avoid taxes by moving to a place called...Taxes.
6:30 - “does not consider theft below $950 as a felony”
This is NOT necessarily the problem.
The problem is liberal prosecutors are declining to prosecute theft in Democrat controlled localities… and for this reason Police do not want to put their lives & bystander lives at risk in arresting criminals who will not be prosecuted.
This is the problem in many US Democrat run localities.
The liberals targeted the prosecutor roles in the Democrat controlled areas via elections, to short-cut & liberate themselves from the legislative laws [democratically elected by citizenry], the judicial system [who guarantees rights of the accused], the executive branch law enforcement [who puts their lives at risk in place of innocent civilians.]
It was an insidious action by liberals, to exploit a portion of the system which was designed to provide mercy for exceptional cases, by making the exception the rule. These Democrat prosecutors are evil, at their core.
Whether something is classified as a felony or misdemeanor isn't really critical the concept of whether a state is tough on crime. It is whether prosecutors are willing to prosecute and whether they are willing to put people in jail or prison. Going to jail for a year for stealing $2000 worth of crap, isn't worth it, unless you are pretty sure you'll get away with a number of times.
And the thought of "My insides will become my outsides" is also quite the deterrent.
Doesn't texas actually have relatively high taxes too, just in property tax as opposed to income tax (which is unconstitutional in texas?)?
If you have a high enough income, then property tax that's 1% higher isn't going to outweigh that gain from lower income tax.
Plus, property values are lower in Texas. The Average home value is more than double in California. So even if the tax rate was identical, the tax you pay is not identical because of higher property values in California.
But anyway, the main push factor is regulation, not tax. Regulation is structured to benefit those who already own property at the expense of those aspiring toward becoming home owners. A young family is fortunate enough to get to that stage of life of wanting to purchase a home for their children to grow up in, and finds that to not be viable in California and start exploring other options.

You are not breaking down the crime statistics correctly. In Texas the cars are not getting broken into every day and the shops are not getting ransacked.
You're ignoring the fact that California grew in population in 2023. Many of those same remote workers are coming back to the state because companies are requiring everyone to go back to the office.

There are hundreds of abandoned and/or dilapidated buildings that could easily improve the crisis all over the country.. but governments and real estate groups refuse to renovate those buildings in favor of constructiing ridiculously expensive luxury neighborhoods instead
High taxes, high crime, low freedom.
I've had my rental car broken into twice in the week I was visiting California. Before that, I had never had my car broken into in my life. To pretend that California has more crime than tough on crime states like Florida is bullshit and the only reason Texas has a high crime rate is because it shares a border with Mexico, a fact which was completely ignored in your video. Furthermore, all the cities in red states you have named as exemples of cities with higher crime rates than blue states are cities ran by blue mayors, so it is a problem of soft on crime policies.
A lot of times it takes seeing to believe, I moved to Nashville from Louisiana. Within my first 6 months I met 14 women, 7 from Illinois, 3 from California, 1 from Massachusetts and 3 from Tennessee.
The exodus is real.

Can't businesses sue the state for lost revenue from theft if they refuse to prosecute under $900? Perhaps a giant class action lawsuit of $400 billion would get the govt's attention to reverse this dangerous precedent.
Might as well pass a law saying if you murder less than 3 people, you won't be prosecuted. But don't you dare murder that 4th person.
And this goes for all states that refuse to prosecute for any amount
In general, you can't sue the government for such purposes. The Supreme Court has ruled that government can't even be sued for failure to protect people's lives, let alone property. At most you can sue them for direct negligence, but in most cases the concept of "qualified immunity" will kill the suit. If your house destroyed by a police raid even it was at a mistaken address the city typically won't pay out.
@richdobbs6595
Sounds like this might lead to vigilantism due to failure of govt.
@@Governor-General.of.Qanada Maybe eventually. But this situation has existed as settled law since at least 2005. This isn't going to be the issue that leads to overthrow of the Constitution of 1787, nor massive outpouring of folks on the the street.
You use Louisiana as an example of a red state with high crime, but you also fail to mention that New Orleans, the “murder capital” of the state has a solid Democrat government; the city council is 7 of 7 Democrat and they have elected a Democrat as Mayor every election since 1872.
The fact one party can dominate for over 150 years is just so insane. Like that is clearly broken system with first past the vote systems....
If I were a remote worker I would go live in a stable developing country where the average wage is USD 2-3 a day. You could save 90% of you salary and retire early.
He was talking about republican states with high crime . . . 90% of the crime occurs in democrat run cities.
He just told you Texas has twice the crime of NY
@@jameshartnett3538 Keep in mind that _Houston_ is Democrat run, while the state of Texas is Republican run. Same applies to Dallas if memory serves, as well as Little Rock, KC, and several others. The cities themselves may be in Republican run states. But the local governments are run by Democrats.
Houston, Dallas, Austin, etc. all run by Democrats. Texas is Republican because of the suburbs and rural areas, not its largest cities.
@@jameshartnett3538 An overwhelming majority of crime occurs in liberal run cities. Conservative counties with constative towns have a crime rate much lower per capita than democrat run cities. Liberal policies have failed.
Maybe make a video on if these people migrating out of blue states still lean left and how their votes will affect how the states they emigrated from and immigrated to will vote in future elections
Unpunished crime! They don't charge people who commit crime
Unless your a red rich guy, or a rich republican
Someone has been misleading you... 😢
Also the crime rate in red / blue states is not accurate either since most crime in red states happens in blue counties. If you exclude the blue cities in red states the crime is concentrated in pockets of concentrated blue cities.
But isnt the biggest cities blue? Crime tend to be higher in those areas despite who runs it.
They don’t wanna talk about that though
That's actually false rural crime is just as high but it has less people
Wow you sure are desperate to help slow Joe aren’t you. “Republican state bad democratic state good” says the foreigner who has nothing to lose
Yes. The plainly obvious reason is remote work. Higher population drives higher cost of living, because more demand for less space equals greater costs. This drives local salaries higher as well. If people have an opportunity to earn California wages under flyover-state cost of living, they will jump at it.
Nope. As a realtor in Texas I'm sing the opposite. People are selling their homes now and moving back to Blue States. Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida parts of Texas like Houston and other states also have very high crime rates. And yes some things are more affordable but for example property taxes are crazy high.
Texas has also gotten significantly more expensive since 2020. Also seems like many people from northern and west coast states can’t stand Texas summers as apparently, amount of people leaving Texas and putting their homes on sale spikes in summer months
Gas lighting BS.
Too much regulation. We need both conserving force and innovative force. Flordia is an example of too much Conserving force and Cali is an example for too much innovative force. Having more of one than the other just leads to negative outcome.We need each other polarization will destroy us.
\
It's "divide and rule".
It doesn't mean much to talk about "regulation" in general. What matters is what the regulations are doing.
There actually isn't much polarization. If you ask people questions in ways that don't use the keywords of political talking points, the responses suddenly grow closer.
That said, we do need each other, obviously.
Property crime is higher in blue stats, Red states like Carolinas, Mountain States (MT/ID/UT), and West Virginia have less violent crime too than NY/CA/WA/OR/IL
Because red states have such downmarket economies that it is far cheaper to live there. The same reason young people travel to third world countries.
I love how a European man is telling us what the problem is In our own cities and states like he actually knows he doesn’t live in the states right?
The same thing is happening in Amsterdam. A friend of mine worked for a tech company there. He couldn't find affordable housing. It is way cheaper for him to work remotely and catch a flight and pay a night in a hotel once a fortnight to talk to his team in person.
This guy is the definition of fake news, or news twisted in such a way you think the opposite. A true manipulator. Each video is worse and worse than the previous
Biden, the Democratic party and the American people have totally underestimated Drumpf.
People are sick of crime in the cities, "wokism" and feel Bide is way too old and incompetent.
The country is swinging back to the right.
Crime is lower now than it was under Trump
Oh, I think otherwise, all be it related. Jobs are moving from blue states to red ones, particularly to evade unionized labor (just look at Boeing) and people follow.
If you plan on stealing $2500 worth of goods from a Texan, you're not worried about felonies. You're worried about surviving.
My dad turned off the highway, never drove up to anything, and a Texan came up with a shotgun and threatened to murder him because my dad needed to check the map to see where he was going. Stealing has nothing to do with a Texans willingness to murder you, hence the high crime rate.
Soooooooooooooooooooo... why doesn't that prevent the crime rate from being higher? I feel there might be a flaw in that reasoning.
I think he’s partially right but at the same time I think he’s downplaying some of the things. Just to linger on one point that he said just so this comment wouldn’t be super long . Crime. San Francisco own local government has come out about the safety of its employees because of the crime. District attorneys and Mayors have been put on recall because of crime. Let alone the amount of stores and some cases hotels that left because of crime. I.e. in and out burger and the Hilton.
6:57 - “drugs… homelessness… cost of living”
Cost of living driving homelessness is not the same as permissiveness of criminal drug abusers being homeless.
Ironic that liberal states who talk the most about NIMBYism, have the most restrictive housing regulation.
It’s a rather sad contradiction because there aren’t really appealing cities in the red states, but then all of those factors that you know are making blue states difficult to live in
I think this channel realized how much ADREV can be made by appealing to right wing viewers lol real original.....
If they had jailed people for misdemeanor thefts, to the extent if the law, it would have deterred crime. Unfortunately, there isn't space in jails to lock up offenders. And the proposition didn't enact a policy of 3 strikes and you get a big felony sentence
blue missouri???
Our little city Cumberland MD has gone from housing glut to shortage in 5 years. Most of the influx is from within the state and remote workers with much higher incomes than the locals had before. Hopefully this correction will help turn around other post industrial towns and cities.
Saying the capital is San Francisco and comparing population loss by number and not per capita or at least percentages is misleading. California is usually ranked 3rd or 4th as the most sticky state meaning that most of those California plates you see in your state that make you say things like "those Californians moving here ruining thing" are not actual Californians but rather people who moved to CA and decided it wasn't for them. This channel is done.
@5:36 lol that reminds me of the episode of the power puff girls where they legalized stealing. Omg thats exactly what's happening now?😂
I left LA due to high prices on everything, high taxes on everything and the increasing crime rates (where DAs won't even convict criminals) that affected our family directly!
I think that taxes and the cost of living are a factor, but in the case of California, it is the ever-increasing interference in people's lives that pushes people to leave.
English man tells us a misdemeanor is nothing.
Part of the issue isn't whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony it's because it's not being enforced regardless of its level
Poor people should get relocation assistance to move out if expensive stars. CA and NYC don't have adequate infrastructure to handle more housing.
And it looks like the Governor of California will be replacing Biden! It's going to be such a show!
I like Gavin Newsom even less!
Sorry, son... but a "certain demographic" in those southern Republican states is responsible for a HELL of a lot of crime.
Yeah, Trump Supporters

@@alrxandersmiths242 How many children of color have shot up schools again?

Same in those northern democratic states. If you ever lived there you know.
They're like The Borg. Going from place to place ruining them with their own presence
The other major problem contributing to homelessness in these cities is that homeless people from around the country tend to find their way to large cities. Sometimes, it is places just trying to "fix" their homeless problem by bussing them away. And sometimes it is the hope that they will be able to find some sort of support once they get there.
As usual this content just devolves into agenda-laden nonsense, gotta unsub
You forgot to mention the empowerment of criminals, how law bidding citizens can't defend themselves.
When I bought a house I triangulated 3 things cost, schools, and travel aggravation to work. All these had to work for me to buy. Worked .
The crime rate in red states, I have read, is driven by the blue metropolitan areas- the mayor is more important than the governor.
Cost of living, crime rate, homelessness, drugs, take your pick.
They ruin their states with their politics, then go and flee their states to ruin those as well voting for what ruined their states in the 1st place 😂😂
6:23 - “it is not even true that democratic states are more permissive of crime”
Don’t use the word democratic, this is incorrect unless you are comparing a state to dictatorship.
But large Democrat run cities, where most of the population is for Democrat run states, are absolutely more permissive of crime, and this is where people are leaving.
- cities in various California cities have live updated “poop maps”, where people are warned about where they have to walk
- in declining Democrat run cities, needles litter the ground, to be washed down storm sewage systems and into the coastal waters
- in declining Democrat run cities, drug laws are not enforced, but rather people are encouraged to peruse their addictions with Democrat city supplied drug paraphernalia, addicts live homelessly for awhile, and die in the streets (thus how Democrats resolve some of their drug addiction & homeless issues.)
- criminals are declined to be prosecuted, so they are not arrested, they immediately commit more crimes again, and people just become numb to it & eventually leave
If you don’t understand what is happening in the Democrat run cities of the US, you should not talk about it
People don’t need the Government as their nanny.
lololol. the left wing bias is super strong here
Anything specific you can point to as verifiably inaccurate?
Body should care about red/blue. The only thing that matters is true/false.
You can't look at the crime rate or states without taking into account the major cities governed by democrats in them, the states are not unitary governments, cities have varying degrees of independence to make their own policy and policing. It is misleading or uninformed to suggest that just because the state level is controlled by Republicans, the major crime areas in cities are not due to a democratic city's own policy.
