California now to be even more expensive to live in

[DigitalDrifter]

If it wasn't bad enough, imagine what it will be like when this new minimum wage is fully implemented.

California's Unions Demand $15-An-Hour Minimum Wage; It Will Destroy A Third Of The State

In response to powerful government union demands, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 3 today, a measure hiking California’s minimum wage 50 percent in six years from $10-per-hour to $15. For the third of state, about 13 million people, this new experiment in central planning will devastate already weak local economies.

California’s cost-of-living index stood at 134.3% of the national average in 2015, meaning that, compared to the rest of the nation, rent, food and services taken together cost about 34% more. Most of this higher cost is driven by the state’s myriad regulations, fees and arcane permits required before building homes, office buildings or manufacturing facilities. By comparison, Texas, the second most populous state, had a cost of living index of 92.6 last year. On average, California is 45% more expensive than Texas.
Just as the Golden State’s cost-of-living was the third-highest among the states, behind Hawaii and New York, there are large cost of living variations within California itself. Housing, goods and services in San Francisco, the emblematic progressive city, are 58% costlier than in the greater Stockton metro area, 84 miles to the east, where the official unemployment rate is 9.5%. The City by the Bay is an astounding 65 to 74% more expensive than is Bakersfield.


Down south on the border with Mexico, idyllic San Diego has a price premium of 36% on Bakersfield and 29% on Stockton. The Los Angeles metro region will set your budget back 31% more than would living in Bakersfield and 25% more than would Stockton.

well, it might work, this time.



assuming the plan is to put small biz out of commission.

Can you imagine trying to sell products that have the price printed on them (like books)?
those prices are contracted, you can't charge more, you can charge less after a certain amount of time, but never more to cover costs.

you can kiss book stores, small convenient stores, etc goodbye.

Businesses will just set up on the border states where they are welcome

Northern California will seek to break ties. Southern California will fail economically and socially.

SoCal will eventually attempt to return to Mexico, and be forcibly repatriated.

The price of food there and from there is about to go through the roof.

Why do people like you bother posting on a public forum? Aren't you embarrassed for people to know how stupid you are? Even anonymously?

Right, because what crazy foolhardy businessmen would want to do business in the wealthiest state with the largest population.

It will be great for about 3 months.

in that 3 months, the cost of living will catch up to the min wage and the people in FF will be replaced with kiosks.

of course many will end up on welfare, as planned.

As if illegal farm workers make minimum wage.

It's not the wealthiest state

and even if it was, it's meaningless to the point being made

they shouldn't make anything.

on a side note, I'm going to quote a Nobel Prize winning Economist;

If socialist understood economics, they wouldn't be socialist.

Well then professor, feel free to educate everyone. Which state is wealthier? Or did you want to save that for later?

I look it up every once in a while, so look it up and prove your assumption is wrong.

It's the only way leftist learn, and usually not even then.

You must live in California, or should.

Parts of NoCal are already considering secession. SoCal's foreign-to-native population is ridiculous, and the Aztlan POV has a fair hold there already.

Do educate yourself before spouting off, eh?.

 

[Votto]

If they get enough people to move out of California, the state could turn it into the largest state park in US history.

Think of all the spotted owls they will save

Well, if you cared about America, it's citizens, you'd take a moment and think



I just said that a leftist will take time to think



Man wins the Nobel Prize IN ECONOMICS ECONOMICS, and he doesn't even care.

The reason you can't reply is that you're stupid. End of story. You're a typical shallow thoughtless non entity, one of many who seek refuge in public forums....evidently trying to compensate for a mind numbing mediocrity. Let me guess, you're a Trump follower.
