Hey

ok

Stupid video - back when CA had 33 million people, guys like you were saying everyone was leaving. Now we have almost 40 million. CA has the 4th largest economy and will overtake Japan in 6 years to become #3. Oracle, HP & tesla have not left CA, they've only opened an office or factory in Texas - all of their talent is in CA. You MAGA's need to focus on why red states are so poor.

Unrelated question to Casual Scholar: What would be your solution(s) to the above problems you mentioned? How would you reverse this if given the ability to do so?

Actually, every state loses people including CA. According to the Census Bureau California does lose more than any other state. But remember California is huge. So, that outflow translates to an average annual 1.55 percent of California residents moving out of state. NO STATE HAD A LOWER PER CAPITA MOVEMENT RATE THAN CALIFORNIA. Californians are the least likely to move out! Next best state for keeping its citizens? Texas at 1.6 percent annually, then Ohio and Michigan at 1.8 percent. Note: about 2.3 percent of Americans moved across state lines annually. Worst exit rates? Energy-rich states in cold climates: Alaska 11.6 percent, Wyoming 5.4 percent and North Dakota 3.89 percent. Although California has had net out-migration among most demographic groups, it has gained among those with higher incomes ($110,000 per year or more) and higher levels of education (graduate degrees). College-educated 18 to 35-year-olds led the way among those moving to California from its top feeder states (New York, Illinois, and New Jersey). (aka high achievers). Families with kids and those with only a high school education predominate among those moving from California to its top destination states (Texas, Arizona, and Nevada). (aka low achievers). California usually gets a huge number of high-quality legal immigrants (200,000 per year) but this has slowed down considerably due to Trump's anti-immigrant policies & pandemic restrictions in recent years. This led to California losing its population for the first time in history in the 2020 census. Even so, California gained 6% population over the 2010 census. The most trusted measure of economic strength says California is the world-beater among democracies. The state’s gross domestic product increased 21% during the past five years (2016-2021), dwarfing No. 2 New York (14%) and No. 3 Texas (12%), according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gains added $530 billion to the Golden State, 30% more than the increase for New York and Texas combined and equivalent to the entire economy of Sweden. Among the five largest economies, California outperforms the U.S., Japan and Germany with a growth rate exceeded only by China. Does that sound like businesses are leaving California? Most states would LOVE to have businesses leaving like California.

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

@@hunter-bourke21 Please tell me how can I connect to your advisor. My funds are being murdered by inflation, therefore I'm looking for a more profitable investing strategy to put them to work.

Sure, the financial advisor that guides me is Mary Onita Wier and she's renowned and has quite a following. So it shouldn't be a hassle finding her. Just look her up.

Thanks for sharing this, I googled *Mary Onita Wier* and after going through her resume, I can tell she's a pro. I emailed her and I'm waiting on her reply.

You have to take interest into account, in ‘74 it would have been about 7.5% 30 year interest. And by 1980 closer to 12-15%.

If you are new to the market, I recommend seeking professional assistance. The most effective approach to creating a well-organized portfolio is to begin with a professional who is knowledgeable about the turbulent yet profitable market.

Over the past three years, I have been working with a professional who has provided daily guidance on my investment decisions. With their expert analysis, I have realized gains of over $1 million. Their insights have helped me avoid losses and capitalize on market breakthroughs, particularly during downtrends.

@@MarkFreeman-xi3rk How can I contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?

Can't divulge much, it's only right you do your due diligence. I'm been guided by “Margaret Johnson Arndt” and most likely, the internet is where to find her deets.

Time is market is worth more than timing the market. Indexes are the safest easiest bet. If your asking basic advice you have no business picking stocks. Open a brokerage account and by index’s or index based etfs. Google is your friend. Also don’t pay attention to it. 90% of people leave the market at a loss within a year. And it’s all because they look at it see red and s themselves. There’s no such thing as 10% annual returns of whatever people advertise. There’s negative 20%, up 39%, negative 15%, up 19%. That magical 10% is an avg over decades. Not a stable you can live if this and rely on anywhere near exact numbers. If you over invest and got no stomach you will end up 20-50% down and leave at a loss. Don’t invest in the market if your not planning on cashing out in 15 plus years. If you want 1-5 year stable returns with no rollercoaster fund a decent cd, dividend, or foreign bank account and settle for 5-7% reuturn (3-4% after taxes, inflation, exchange, etc).

Thank you.

For sure, and I'm not even actually from CA. I came from a place that had several typhoons a year, sometimes up in the Cat 3-4 levels. After living in CA for several years, yeah, it's hard to imagine dealing with weather that isn't just hot. I live inland, so the temperature is brutal in summer, but it literally never rains, storms, or anything.

A bit generic of a statement, maybe if you talk about where the vast majority of people live then yes it's true, but California has areas that get really hot, really cold, snow, etc.

Yeah but I think a roof and food is a strong motivator.

CA is the future of US: mostly Haves and have nots. Very few (comfortably) in the middle.

It is the same everywhere. Housing is only affordable for the upper class forcing the lower middle class is just struggling to survive. This is why soome are trynig to stop lower middle class people from voting in this country. Sooner or later as their numberincrease, the upper class will have to start paying their share in taxes. Didn't mean to go off topic, but it isn't really off topic.

@@jameslinzmeier368 it's not so much/or only the upper middle class, it's all these investment firms, banks, basically wall street who came out the 2008 recession flushed with cash with a housing market ripe for their taking. Much like now with fed raising interest rates drving the real estate market down. Housing clearance sale for those who don't need financing. I still can't fathom how banks leveraging/creating money out of thin air at 23-28 to 1 found themselves in financial trouble. Give the average citizen the same power and I'm willing to bet we'd fair better than these industry geniuses. The financial geniuses label applies only because they actually got off unblemished whilst most sheeple argued about issues which affected their feelings/ego (purple teletubbies/sesame street characters) as opposed to personally affecting heir day to day life.

the same thing is happening n the rest of the US but the cost of living in Cali is so high vs the rest that your middle class is upper middle to barely in the upper class. Im in Texas and since Texans have traditionally vacationed year-round in Colo, it is a semi-love-hate relationship. Now Colorado residents say at least Texans go home when their vacation is over. Its the purchasing power a Cali exile brings with them lets them outbid most instate residents where ever they decide to resettle. hen they want to make that place more like Cali. Usually not to the extreme but some things that are normal in Cali are jarring to people living elsewhere.

@@jameslinzmeier368 I think there is plenty of money to go around, people just need to work harder to gain more skills to produce higher quality labor. If you think asking someone for ID is to prevent them from voting, you are wrong. It's to keep non citizens from voting. Who shouldn't be voting in the first place.

I would recommend Colorado. Usually has pretty good weather, though alittle more crazy (no one beats California) with occasional hail in the summer and freak rainstorms flash floods. Has good public lands with great outdoors. Has a decent job market with some higher income industries. And biggest benefit of all is lots of empty land and plenty of affordable brand new constructed housing. Plus the taxes are reasonable and government is pretty moderate. Also has a good airport with good connections. Biggest negatives: far away from anywhere you might want to travel to, especially if you like traveling out of country. And the infrastructure in center of denver is badly planned. It's like a small city grid that grew way too large and now its a massive gridlock. The food options are very meh. Everything shuts down and closes by 8pm, even gas stations close down at like midnight. But if Calfiornia is too expensive, colorado would be #1 on my list.

@@chrisblue4652 I'd say Colorado, Austin, and NYC are the most common places for people I know who have left. And I think it basically comes down to whether you can tolerate cold weather. Californians don winter coats when it hits 65 degrees, haha.

If 10% of the people talking about moving out actually do, then cost of living (housing) will drop enough that it the rest won’t. The video doesn’t really get into the people leaving are lower income and education than the people coming in, which is good and bad, and that companies moving hq out is meaningless really. These companies aren’t growing or it’s just a token number of jobs moving with them. Most of Tesla and SpaceX eng are still in CA for example.

I doubt it. Being homeless isn't something that normal people do willingly, because it involves eating literal garbage.

Yo remember the the red-orange skies that looked like a horror film, everyone masked up, no school. I was a tiny kid but I remember that time.

I remember the Cedar fire in 2003. I was 8 or 9 and I remember the ridge of the mountains in front of our home glowing red and orange. We didn't have to evacuate for that one, but we did in with the Witch Creek fire a few years later. That one got to within 10 feet of our home and burned down one of our horse corrals. Now, I live in San Antonio, Texas. Honestly, I was never really afraid of wildfire. I know it really sucked for those who lost homes or died, but for me it was somewhat of an adventure. I was a kid, so I just made the most of it. It completely tore through a mobile home park across our street. That became a neat site to visit until they cleaned it up and built super expensive homes there. I wish I could go back, but the cost of living simply makes it impossible. I complain about $3/gal gas right now in Texas. In California, I never once saw it get that low. The government simply imposes too many taxes, too many regulations, and spends far too much. If that could change, California could easily become the best state in the nation. Instead, it's one of the worst.

@@christiandauz3742 I do agree on transportation, but I see a much bigger issue. Its the fact that some people in the local(to places like Santa Cruz) economy have access to basically free money. When credit for companies, real estate buyers, VC investors etc is basically free or is so cheap as to be free, all that money ends up in the hands of workers, founders, managers etc of those entities that can borrow cheap. So if you had tons of very cheap money at your disposal, what would you do? Buy real estate, that's what you do. Our money is broken, and some people have access to such cheap money that it almost doesn't matter to them. For everyone else, all they see is real estate, cars, rent etc going up in price at 10+% per year. This is because THEIR money doesn't come so easy, or free. It's all because the cost of borrowing has been basically free since 2008.

Agree, I think it's rather overblown to be honest

I agree. California have its fair share of problems, sure, but it also got other upsides - just like anywhere else. The internet is too sensationalistic sometimes.

It's overblown but things are going that way. Overall crime is lower in California than many states, but this is changing. Homelessness is so widespread that it changes the daily lives of not only its victims but everyone. And housing costs being so unsustainable and rising so quickly and consistantly will warp the economy more and more. This will further reduce quality of life even for those who can afford good housing because there will be fewer and fewer people working in necessarily low-paying (or even moderate-paying) service jobs that the economy runs on. California, by many metrics, has had a very high quality of life. But rising homelessness, rising crime, and rising home prices will lead the state further snd further doenhill, even apart from all the controversial political issues.

@@MetalSandman999 I think it's like that everywhere now though. Big cities in Texas are pretty expensive now. Florida is getting expensive compared to even 2 years ago. I feel like everywhere is likely going to decline in quality of life as prices, particularly housing, keep increasing. Unless we all move back to small towns and work at the gas station or supermarket, we're all in for a hit I'm afraid, not just California.

@@MetalSandman999 idk was raised in Southwrn Florida and been to LA. I have never ever seen so many homeless mentally I’ll people on the street Also been to several cities , Philadelphia was insane. Holy shit

The problem isn't just single-family homes. When we see new high density housing built, whether apartments to rent or condos to own, they tend to be expensive luxury housing. In theory, if you built enough housing on a macro scale than the cost goes down across the board. But you would have to build tons of new housing to have that affect. Meanwhile, what is built doesn't give much option to the middle class renters and buyers who maybe could get by paying $2,000 per month or $500 to buy, but can't afford paying 50-100% more for housing that caters to the wealthy.

Prop 13 is a big reason for this. Municipalities don't want to build dense housing because they end up lowering per-capita property tax revenue.

Nothing will change. The voters here keep getting dumber.

Exactly! This is a huge country we have! People may benefit to spread out more.

I have noticed Nashville TN has become very attractive for a multitude of reasons.

Good for you

Great job. Just don't vote for the same effed up policies that you escaped from.

@@ecinaz I never did vote that way, or fit in with the average Californian!! I absolutely love our constitution and my right to bear arms!!

@@Stupid_you_so_stoopid_UHF Cali is ruining AZ. I live in liberal Tucson which is only like 30% conservative, but I can't believe that Hobbs won. I'm still in shock.

Nebraska as well. My grand parents on my moms side are Mennonite farmers from Nebraska. They went to Fresno, reedley, and dinuba in 1934

@@35t10b That too. I only mentioned the migrants from Oklahoma and Arkansas because that's where my family's from.

I would think about diversifying your research on this topic because this video is very biased and does not even begin to tell the picture of the economic complexities in current day California.

Which part of WA? Hopefully the eastern part.

The thing is when people originally moved to California there was a good time where people can rise up ranks, and there is still opportunity today for that to happen still if you take proper advantage of it. For people moving out for cheaper areas eventually the population will became unstable and due to how those states are structure the housing market will definitely collapse faster. There no Florida dream or Texas dream it just cheap that you have to live there but will it always be like that where there heading it doesn't look like a lifelong investment.

It didn't just happen by accident. California's poverty issues are caused by socialist-progressive policies and were easily and actively predicted.

@@andrewgoss6486 I didn't know corporation buying up property to price gouge, and home Airbnb are progressive policies. When that bill that happen decades ago caused by progressive polices that force single housing, and limited the government power to have California to have too much NIMBY power that halted any future project that can change the neighborhood for the better. I didn't know that was a progressive California sounded more like a Reagan or Dems neo liberal California that spread everywhere. Also why is Florida problems exploding way quicker as there population grow more and more faster in such a shorter time that California's did in in decades. sounds like there housing market ain't as great as California. I didn't know Florida is a progressive state.

@@mattliehr3124 Yes it way worse.

@@andrewgoss6486Did you miss the part in the video in which the beginning of Cali’s problems began with the decentralization of housing on coastal areas to benefit the rich? The transition to large single family homes wrecked the infrastructure already built there, ie: private ownership kinda started the downfall of those huge economic areas of cali. Sure you’d like to say “muh taxes”, but that isn’t really the case here. The taxes are a consequence of bad economic policy and privatization. Good infrastructure really plays a huge role in a population’s ability to function correctly, and the snowball effect of bad policies can really ruin things for a nation/state.

It's hard to leave CALIFORNIA WEATHER! AFTER - 34 DEGREES IN DENVER I LEFT. HE WHO GOES, WILL COME BACK! The

@@DakotaofRaptors Yes, is Kongou

Just PLEASE dont vote for the same ideas that ruined california when you move

Garden City, Kansas is a place for alot of native California's are moving to because affordable housing and good schools and ranked 2nd best place to do business in the state of Kansas. Garden City, KS is booming because of what's going on in California and Garden City, KS is expecting to reach 100K population in 30 to 40yrs time.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)

I appreciate the info you added here. This is why I watch multiple videos/docs on any important topic and then supplement w/ articles. It will be nice to have a one-place-for-all info quality of videos/docs (even if we have to pay for them)

Fewer students doesn't necessarily mean smaller class sizes. As teachers quit or are laid off, there can still be more students for every remaining teacher even if the total number of students declines.

“Grim” will be the outlook for California for the foreseeable future.

And also illegal aliens who harass and steal from the locals and make them want to move to other states.

@@crand20033 I live in California and have never been harassed by illegals or know anyone who has been. Illegals by and large are the hardest working easiest to get along with people you would ever meet. Some of the AH who take advantage of them are another story.

@@matthewhuszarik4173 I lived in Huntington Park and had a lot of trouble with the illegal immigrant gang members there. I was burglarized at night at gunpoint, one spit at me while i was walking by, and one stole my new bicycle. I saw some stealing a car and taking it apart. They were always causing graffiti and crime. Terrible place.

@@crand20033 You live in a real bad area? My sister lives in Scherman Oaks and has never had any problems. Mother in law lives in Oxnard and never any problems. We live in Santa Barbara and it is the same. How do you know these gang members are illegal and not US citizens? I have found all the for sure illegals I have dealt with are hard working, respectful, quite, and don’t make waves.

@@matthewhuszarik4173 They come in with no money and have to rob, burglarize and steal. Honduras and El Salvador are very dangerous countries. Murder capitals of the world. You can view videos on youtube about the gangs, drugs and murders there. Plus it's the worst place to be a woman because Hispanics are hotheads too that get angry easily so the women are dangerous too. Highest homicide rates are: Tijuana Mexico 2,367 1,763,197 134.24, 2. Juárez Mexico 1,522 1,455,923 104.54, 3. Uruapan Mexico 30

Not really. According to WalletHub the best state in the country for “quality of education” is Massachusetts followed by California, according to research released (January 21, 2019) by WalletHub. The study was part of WalletHub’s annual ranking of the “Most & Least Educated States in America.” This year’s ranking combined two categories - educational attainment and quality of education - broken down by 20 “relevant metrics.” Massachusetts placed first in both categories followed by California. Taxes in CA are relatively low actually. 1. Money Geek rates CA # 13 best state for taxes with grade of B as of 6/23/2021. 2. GoBankingRates ranks CA # 11 for tax friendly for the middle class as of 2/12/2019. 3. Kiplinger rates CA as "most Tax Friendly" as of Nov. 2019. 4. WalletHub as # 16 best state for property tax in the country as 2/23/2021. 5. WalletHub ranks CA # 34 least for combined sales & excise taxes as 3/21/2021. 6. Kiplinger rates CA as "tax friendly" for retirees as of 12/2020. 7. CA does not tax social security. 8. No CA estate or inheritance tax. 9. Prescription drugs & groceries are not taxed in CA. 10. No CA tax on unemployment benefits.

@@bigdickblack1505 bro you're going against the narrative !! California sucks!!! (I like and am moving back to California soon so I am just joking)

@@bigdickblack1505 I’m my Massachusetts and I think the ranking is heavily reliant on Boston, and if they include higher education then it’s definitely number #1 they have Harvard MIT and Northeastern, the western part of the state is like most of the country just common core basic stuff, we also have a lot of really old private schools that bring the rating way up, deerfield academy has been here since 1780 something and has crazy alumni like the current king and prince of Jordan

Most people leaving are doing so for political reasons. Honestly, we need them to go.

CA literally just edged out Germany to become the 4th largest economy in the ENTIRE WORLD. It also has some of the best universities for physics and mathematics, such as UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSB, Stanford, Ca Institute of Technology, and outputs the largest agriculture yield of any state. A few cities suck, but the entire state is still a behemoth

Same experience. Building anything in CA is double the building cost at a minimum.

Thank you! I really appreciate that and I’m glad you enjoyed!

Economic cause and effect are often better understood through the lens of partisanship. At least the current state of things.

“Didn’t feel partisan” “notorious environmental regulations”

It also shows he's never been to California before.

@@CasualScholar It is wrong to take so much Tax from rich. CA is driving them away. it is very unfair. IM not rich either.

There are many reasons that Silicon Valley was built in California. UC Berkeley, Stanford, Lawrence Livermore Laboratories and the purposeful accumulation of very bright people and very-well financed research facilities created the atmosphere that nurtured Apple, Google, Intel, and all the rest. The same thing can be said about Massachusetts and MIT and North Carolina's Research Triangle. There's more reasons to invest in colleges and universities than creating football teams that win bowl games.

What has those woke / leftist values done to your state? Liberalism is like a plague, it kills whatever it touches.

What “values”?

@@agricola No kidding. Plus they keep voting in these extreme far left progressives that institute policies that have put California in mess they are in today. Then they whine about homelessness, high taxes, lack of affordable housing, poor education and countless other problems, yet when election time comes they keep voting for the same type of candidates that will continue this trend. They seem unable to vote any other way, so they deserve what they voted for.

Middle class is 70K in California

@@vikm1341 - $70K is pretty much middle class everywhere, not just in California. And taking into account that a salary of $200K will barely get you inside the most ordinary house when you buy, people don't start to move well beyond average until their income approaches half a million. And maybe 25% less in many other states.

Just dont vote for the same policies in Texas that ruined California

texas and california both suck, so does every state with a population over 3 million

Please don't California the beautiful state of Texas

@Faggot Rotten Republican shills, in reality you need to acknowledge home owners who want less property developments are not your friends

Where do you live now? Is it better?

My parents took us out when I was 5 back in 2005 lol, they left for a lot of reasons but crime, taxes and politics being the big 3.

The thing is, if places like Austin start attracting high paying businesses lured by low taxes, then the same problems will recreate there. You're going to have housing prices skyrocket from the influx of high paid workers, you're going to have inequality rise, and homeless population increase. And we've seen this in Austin in recent years. Then to accommodate the higher population growth you're going to have to raise taxes to build all these new roads and infrastructure, schools, etc. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The more tech hubs, the better. I'm happy to see some mention that large state investments in colleges can bring forth an innovative, productive and prosperous economy. There's more to it than having low taxes, little regulation, small and weak government, and minimum spending on education and public infrastructure.

That's funny, because both Austin and MIami are some of the worst possible places you could move to right now in terms of long term sustainability ala their increasing forecast for natural disasters. As soon as those tech hubs are built up they'll come tearing back down.

@@rexx9496 Prices have already gone up insanely in Austin. And property taxes will kill you there, way, way higher than California. So yes, it will happen soon where the homes are basically the same cost as in California.

My company does about $10B in revenue a year and a majority of the work force is remote,

not likely.

California continues to have the highest GDP per year of nearly every US state tho. How is that not bright?

The local government definitely needs to be stripped of their power🤷‍♂️

punch drunk

@@edmundmcgrath213 I don’t get physical on people mate.

Yeah, and at least here in Oregon, a good portion of that is Californians fleeing their rotting state to Oregon. Since their housing is almost double the cost of the national average, they can come in and snap up housing away from native Oregonians.

@@cramer4506 Not sure if you have been following the housing market. But literally every state has seen sharp increase in home purchases. Low supply, and high demand for houses. America needs to build more homes if if wants to solve the housing problems.

@@travelgo3720 That's cool and all, but housing costs in California are literally almost double the national average. Which means theirs has spiked far more than can just be attributed to the troubles in the housing market alone.

@@cramer4506 yeah that’s why they go. I bet a lot of owners are happy about that. If it makes you feel better the real estate isn’t dropping in ca.

@@cramer4506 this isn't unique to California it's a west coast phenomena, the geography on the west coast isn't conducive to cheap housing winch elevates the price. Notice how Vancouver BC has the exact same problems as California, Oregon, and Washington. That tells you it's a geographic problem more than the state or even country itself.

Will never happen, it's too pack. Just like a gymnasium, a place can only hold a certain amount of people.
