So many people are fleeing California, there's a U Haul truck shortage.

[the other mike]

Sounds like a good employment opportunity for people with small cars and motorcycles who could throw their vehicles in the back of a truck from wherever they are, return the truck to California and get paid for it .

Or U-Haul can just pay people to bring their trucks back and then fly them home.

I would suspect the same thing is happening in New York.

Apparently not a new thing.

U Haul runs out of Trucks in California from Californians fleeing to Texas.

The mass exodus from Dem run states continues. Californians fleeing for Texas so fast U-Haul runs out of trucks for them: report California and Illinois saw the largest net-loss of U-Haul trucks A new report from U-Haul found that migration to southern states continued throughout the...

You're right. If there is such a shortage some serious coin is probably available, even if it took a couple of trips to complete the move.

Was that one of the years they got slammed by hurricanes? It was the year Katrina hit N.O.

They are not just leaving, they are all swarming to states with a close senate race so they can vote "D".

Really? Do you know a lot of people willing to pull up stakes, sell their home, leave their job, pack everything they own and move across the country just to try to swing a senate race?

Sounds like a pretty sweet gig-- does it pay well?

Republicans will eventually take back over California to save it but not until the real estate goes back down.

 

[skye]

Of course human beings are fleeing communist California....people are not idiots.

Very sad though...that communist Rats have pinched the best lands in America! Total scum!

God I hate them!

 

[sartre play]

All states are getting more one sided, no longer able to say United we stand divided we fall.

I don't see that ever happening in California. Possibly a Republican could win the governorship again, although I doubt it, but I don't see Republicans ever again being able to take over the state Assembly, or any substantial local races. California IMO is nothing more than a lost cause. Republicans would be smart to not spend a dime there, and concentrate on purple areas.

At the very least California holds strategic interest with hundreds of miles of coastline....
Which will be the main source of fresh water for the southwestern states once after the Colorado River reservoirs like lake Mead dry up and people finally realize they're going to have to flip the bill for water desalination plants on the coast.

Well I wasn't trying to make it sound like Iraqi's fleeing to Syria in 2003, if that's what you mean.

Yes, that was the hyperbole I was referring to. Fleeing implies a sense of panic and danger

I left CA nearly ten years ago. I moved, bit by bit over a year and a half, making three or four UHaul trips. I noticed that the cost of renting the equipment kept rising as I went. I wouldn't want to do it today, the prices must be astronomical.
