    In this perilous time of recession, protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder.

But I was never near enough to my family and with both my parents and my brother passing away, I needed to be closer to my sister in Florida. My other reasoning for wanting to leave CA was political, 2A, and cost of living. Since moving to a much better state, we own a bigger house (2660sq ft), pay less for our house payment, no state taxes, no property taxes and we are doing a lot better now. There are two family members in San Diego that stated they want to move out of CA also.

After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum.

The problems that we have, overpriced housing, homelessness ( mostly caused by the overpriced housing ) water shortages, over regulation etc. can all be traced back to overpopulation. As other states become overcrowded, they too will experience many similar issues. People that are complaining that they can't do what they used to in their formerly rural area and rising home prices, blaming California transplants.

    California is going to need to realize as much as they would like a lot of expensive programs in place, they can't go as far as they want with lots of other states available for businesses to just shift over to. It isn't a move to a new country, just a hop over a few state lines just hours away.

    After living in this state for over 60 years, I can’t believe how bad things have gotten not only for small businesses but for the middle class and quality of life. Calif used to be a paradise, it has now become a nightmare. Outrageous gas prices, more and more regulation, highest tax rate anywhere, gridlocked roads, on and on. This is all a direct result of the far left liberal policies and they refuse to understand or even acknowledge that. We could go onto crime which is not being punished and letting 70,000 criminals out of the jails. What a total disaster.

      California is not small business friendly, many of them moving to the low tax state. California is a place for the rich, not the middle to lower class, especially now that many are homeless because they cannot afford to live with the very high costs.
      I moved to NYC 3 years ago from Northern California, lived in Brooklyn and worked in Manhattan. The cost of living here is still very affordable than in California. Me and 2 of my friends rented 2 rooms and 1 bathroom for about 1800 per floor divided by 3 to 600 per person. Our salaries are around 130,000 per year.
      The cost of eating in broolyn is cheap, neighbors help each other ...
      Subway transportation was only 2.75 so we didn't have to buy a car to get around NY.
      A city that is very diverse, cool and friendly to the lower middle class.
      California is a beautiful state, the weather and nature are beautiful but the rules are very strict, taxation is very difficult to survive especially middle to lower.

I feel like that experience pretty much sums up how our city government works, which makes me feel like that's how California in general works.

It has great amusement parks like Disneyland, California Adventure, Knotts Berry Farm, Magic Mountain and Universal Studio to name a few and it has many professional teams like the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Lakers, The Los Angeles Dodgers just to name a few. You can go up north to wine country and see the cute town of Carmel or go to San Diego and see the cute town of Coronado Island. These are just a few things that you can do. There is also a lot of great restaurants and let's not forget about the beautiful weather in California. Also there are a lot of beautiful hotels here. Yes California has it all if you can afford it.

    I've been living in Southern California all my life, and while there's no doubt that California does have nice weather, the IRONY in all of this is that California is POORLY EQUIPPED to deal with Natural Disasters. Whether it's the massive amounts of rain that we've received in early 2023 to the WILD FIRES. Seeing how California responds to natural disasters is why I've recently invested in a high quality earthquake kit because they ain't coming to help. Also, to anyone buying property in the state, I would suggest you TRIPLE CHECK your FIRE INSURANCE Policy to make sure it includes WILD FIRES!! I've heard tons of stories of people being priced out of their house because of the insurance premiums and I've also heard that some locations will have little to no coverage in very high risk areas (e.g., Topanga Canyon, Ventura County, etc.) The most heart breaking thing is seeing someone lose their whole house (incl. Contents) and the insurance companies respond with a "damn that sucks... ok talk to you later" -______-

      Well I'm not sure how you stop high rent costs if everyone moves to Austin. It's all just supply & demand. Once enough people leave the overcrowded NYC and SF areas, taxes and rents will go back down there too (and then Texas will try to cash in).
