[AntonToo]

say that to someone who lives in the greater LA area and see what they say....

...because greater LA is all of California?

That was not a year. That was a busy Saturday compared to the same Saturday the year prior dipshit. You should learn business lingo before trying to do math. LY simply means the same period the year prior… NOT the full year. Uhhh…. Duuhhhhhh….uhhhhh….duhhh…. Is all i read in your post.

ILMAO, the gator says I'm the dipshit.

****, now you want to pretend I misread your post. Typical Leftist, you're the one who wrote it, why can't you comprehend what you've written?

Post 65............"If a 5 star restaurant costs $200 per plate and seats 1,000 people but had 1,002 people seated last year"

BTW, you misused the word "but". Additionally, there was no comprehensible purpose to have written "1002" seated last year, at least not as you wrote it....Guess you figured you were being smart or something. On face value, they served 1002 plates last year, PERIOD.

I believe my math was wrong BTW, seems I calculated 1200 plates x 200, when it was 1002 plates. Therefore your successful business scenario operates much deeper in the RED than I thought................

Thread 'California Exodus'

We often hear how wonderful California is. Sure, geography. Problem is beyond politics, they could give a flying F they're losing US citizens, so long as foreigners got the dough, and ignorance too. Fact is, for instance, I live in a desirable area on the east side of the Sierras Nv, have for decades, bought it cheap back in the day. Replacements are Californians. That's not news, my friend lives in a nice neighborhood too, a new development. All but her and an acquaintance Californians. Lots of States have seen the impact. if Ca. was the wonderful State the left are selling you...

Yes, Harry, answer about the state, all of it....now it's backtracking to "area" and how you never talked about the whole state.

Right.

great, thanks for admitting that your experience is not representative of the entire state.

Not that I care about it anyway, but I'm just showing how your story is suddenly "evolving" from being about all of California, to now just about LA.

Austin is where CA liberals are flocking.

My condolences.

CA liberals need to be imprisoned in the state that they created.

UHAUL data..... I ran a store in my youth, this info. tells quite a story.

U-Haul Growth Index: Texas Back on Top as No. 1 Growth State of 2025 | U-Haul

Texas and Florida lead the list of in-migration states on the U-Haul® Growth Index analyzing one-way customer transactions during 2025, while California ranks last with the greatest out-migration number for the sixth consecutive year.

Florida is no better

Beautiful state with Dem-run shitholes and loads of illegals.

Ridiculous OP.

People leave California because it is too expensive to live there. After Hawaii, California is the 2nd most expensive State in the U.S.

Top 10 Most Expensive States To Live In | Quicken Loans

I lived in California for 2 years in the late 60's and even then, it was expensive as heck.

My half-brother lives in Sausalito, California, and he sold his 2 bedroom/2 bath home 5 years ago for $750,000. Those homes are now selling for over 900,000. Who can afford to live in a state that is so expensive?

Yes, but each and every one of them are low-abiding and tax paying, much like Somalis in Minnesota.

Right...........They would never leave because it's unpeaceful and chaotic.

My place is surrounded by wealthy former Californians. You sure they can't afford to live in Ca.?

Why is Ca. so expensive? Why is it my property tax in NV. is half what I'd pay in Ca. for the same value? Why is gas $1 to $2 more, why all the crime and speed?

Cause Ca. is a shithole unless you have the big $ to live where they kick crime and poverty down the road. It's those wealthy libs. who can blissfully enjoy the idea democrack ideology is special while they enjoy the best climates.

You will always key on the things you want to key on and ignore the rest. Nonetheless and bottom line, expense is #1 concern for most (69%) Americans. They make most of their decisions based on that.

If ca. was so expensive preventing people from living there, why all the illegal immigrants, surely they're not all millionaires.
