An influx of people is not going to make things more expensive unless there is a shortage of housing. Which there is because of restrictive zoning. CA has some awful problems-- homelessness, high rent, traffic. The reason all these problems happened is because the rich homeowners in CA tried to exclude everybody else from their city (which is still happening). So they made it illegal to build more housing, and clearly that leads to a housing shortage. PLEASE do not make the same mistake in Texas.

It is possible . You just have to be willing to live in a place where no one wants to live in with a low col.

And what are those mistakes? The NYC and CA economies became overheated such that there were so many people making good money, housing prices skyrocketed, not enough new housing was built, traffic became very congested, and so lots of people decide to cash-out and move elsewhere. So now Atlanta is getting a taste of the same. It is quite unlike the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s, when people were truly desperate. The big problem is that California is too generous and became a magnet for homeless people.

Thank you for making this valid point. Overall, I feel fortunate to be living in California. But as retirement nears, I'm seriously thinking of relocating out of the US; too many angry souls with no critical thinking skills (maybe I'm spending too much time in the comment sections🥴). The fact that corporations donate billions to politicians means the politicians are beholding to the corporations first, not their constituents. This impacts the physical and emotional health of those of us living in the states (low federal standards for food ingredients, lack of mental health services, etc.). And why are housing prices increasing? Most want to target Californians for their woes. Who sets the price when selling a home? Their neighbors do. Greed from top to bottom😔 Thank you again and much respect.

California’s insane policies and taxes are what is driving people and corporations out of the state. When Democrats achieved a stranglehold on political power, the insane policies and taxation began. Coincidence??? I don’t think so.

That’s the case with nearly ever state. Any relatively desirable area has boomed tremendously due to housing demand and low interest rates. Hedge funds buying 1 in 7 homes sold last year has also fueled the supply crunch.

Right wingers complain about the taxes to advance an ideological agenda, of course. But there are plenty of “red” states that have high taxes too (I live in one). The real issue in NY, CA, et al. isn’t so much the cost of taxes, but the cost of everything else, which results from the enormous economic rents that landlords (in the broadest sense of the term) extract from the populace.

Rich people pay capital gains taxes... Which are 15%. And most of the time they can afford accountants and tax lawyers to help shield most of their income from taxes. That's why they don't mind high tax states.

@@Farhankhan_the1 no its not. Luis Rossman has debunked that claim multiple times. Rents are going up because there are less people will ing to pay those rents. The commercial real estate companies can't lower rents because doing so would decrease the value of their assets and could lead to them defaulting with their banks. Thus, they are now raising rent on those who have stayed in an attempt to cover the loss in overall occupancy.

Yes!

ditch the income tax, slightly increase the sales tax and you remove all tax loopholes.

It’s true and frustrating as a poor or middle class person that the super rich don’t pay taxes at as high of a rate as poorer people. However, this is a global issue and phenomenon. Yes even in Nordic countries the super rich commonly find ways to pay a lower percentage of income taxes than their lower and middle class counterparts. And it likely has to do with 2 things. 1) Part of the result of becoming rich through business is being willing to take huge risks. So we structure things to motivate people to take the risk of leading a business by not having to be taxed as much. If the business is successful, all of the people they hire and the products or services can be taxed at a decent rate. Also, 2) the more money someone makes, the greater incentive and resources that person has to save every percentage possible by using tricks. Many tricks aren’t even something that the United States alone can fix but require international laws and regulation. And those in particular are really difficult to pass. We can and should do more to address some issues. But in some ways it’s a losing battle to focus so much on the percentage of taxes paid for the income of the super wealthy. It might make more sense to tax expensive homes or luxury cars or expensive art or renovation projects or gold or inherited wealth. There could be a premium tax for buying a large quantity of resources which increases someone’s carbon footprint. Especially if it isn’t even for business. It’s not as if really wealthy people make most of their money from their paycheck. Usually the vast majority of their wealth is in the form of stocks or assets.

States don't create innovative companies. Innovative people do, and California continues to attract a lot of young, innovative people from mostly Asian countries, which is why the loss of several companies attracted by Texas' tax incentives is not hurting California much. In fact, a lot of Californians are pleased that the state has achieved a level of stability instead of the runaway growth (and escalating costs) that had been occurring. Watch as cities like Austin, Phoenix, Tampa, etc. see their infrastructure stretched to the limits because of all the growth, and their quality of life is in decline because of this. States lure tech companies because they tend to offer lots of high-paying, low-polluting jobs which will bolster the tax base and create "good growth". What I've noticed in Texas is that the roads cannot keep-up with the rapidly growing population, cities have to expand outward onto land that used to be green, and a lot of formerly free roads/highways are becoming toll roads.

@@matt75hooper You must know a thing or two about hitting the wall and having your best pal being a cat.

California is a paradise the beaches the mountains everything is gorgeous

@@raymelendez6525t’s a paradise all right, i love waking up to the smell of Poop from vagrants using the public sidewalk as a latrine. outside of my apartment window as i drink my coffee and stepping on 4 heroin needles as i walk my daily commute, then get attacked by several homeless junkies that are high out of there mind. Wonderful place.

Family is more important than taxes. Glad you got a win win.

I left NYC in 2002 for Texas. Best thing I EVER did. Life was so affordable. Schools for my boys were awesome, light traffic. Fast forward today, the secret is out. And its all going down hill. Crowded, and it has gotten extremely expensive. Not to mention that those coming now are changing the political ground, forgetting the reason the got here.

@@JJ-mn8md I left LA in 2002 too and yeah everyone and their mother is now moving to Dallas

“There”. Not “their”

@@kanegrey7697 wrong

Same here in TN

Lol I’m in south Florida too! Palm Beach is ridiculous a 3bedroom apt is renting for 6K a month plus $175 for parking space and $250 per pet monthly. What a disaster. I purchased in 2008 thank god!

I hear You

Terrible

Oh wow

Agreed. My area is bombarded with CA and Texans have moved here. I'm in SE FL. This has driven our housing costs!!

You must rent the Lando that you put your motorhome on and that can be expensive

Where do you park though? Some parks are insisting the motor homes they will accept be no less than 10 years old. Many areas don't even allow motor homes. It seems most dwellings have issues these days. Perhaps allowing some type of "Tiny House" devopements could be a remedy. McMansions seem so 'Passe'... OR.. perhaps there are simply too many people on this planet? Personally... I can't take seriously any country that can not even create affordable housing for its citizens.

@@faithrada too many people, people NEED TO STOP BREEDING!

@@ladybug5859 and they only allow you to stay for a short time - that is what I have found anyhow.

What premonitions?

People get paid 30% more but then have to pay 50% more for housing.

I think it works better in Europe and Canada, because whole countries have strong labour regulations and taxes are very similar wherever you go.

@@AleksandrStrizhevskiy supply and demand baby

I don’t think the tax structure is the problem. The problem is how that revenue is spent. We need to build more housing (of all kinds) here in CA. That would bring down the cost of buying a home & even the cost of renting one. We also need to better our public transportation here in LA. That would help lower traffic. We’ve already seen that building or expanding highways doesn’t lower traffic.

Paid more? In what sense? California has one of the lowest home ownership rates and highest homeless rate If you were to adjust for cost of living California would have the highest poverty rate

Wow,I am hearing Florida is so much cheaper and better than New York.

@Donald Thompson Yes,I know.

Florida is still inexpensive compared to Cali. And minimum wage doesn’t mean matter since wages are determined by supply & demand, not arbitrary laws.

@@TheSterlingArcher16 It’s well on its way to be more expensive and it already is for most working class people. Real estate is also determined by supply and demand, yet YIMBY’s are almost as bad in FL and TX. They’re just Red YIMBY’s and not blue YIMBY’s.

Really? Wow

We need taxes. What we need is more transparency into what they are being spent on and choice on what our taxes go to. I am ok paying more in taxes as long as I continue to benefit from them

@@BRYANWORTHINGTON well, you gotta pay for all those other states not carrying their weight. how would you feel if you had more insight into where your taxes were going or if you could choose where your money went?

Trust me in southern states you pay taxes….but they are not called taxes but fees on everything that normal people use. Personally I would rather pay taxes for actual infrastructure including education than fake fees for nothing. I can say this because I was marooned in the south for two decades fled back home to the Chicago area 20 years ago. I love living in the Great Lakes area and for the most part am not living in an oven.

People think 39.3 million people will just disappear over night 😂😂🙄

I like the Californians that are staying. They seem more preoccupied with beach weather and surfing than making an extra 10 cents on the dollar. It's my vibe )

Texas, Florida, New Mexico and Arizona all have the weather you're describing, but to some variances of course. It is hot, hot hot all summer long in those places. In Austin it gets hot in April and does not let up until October.

staying out of the sun is good. less skin cancer, slower aging.

In Texas, you get winter and summer in the same week, sometimes weather season changes from morning to evening, lol

Um, the Governor DeSadness is an all out GQP Republican who just picked a huge fight with one of the number one employers in Florida, Disney World. But failure is due to liberal policies??? Can you explain what specific policies? I tend to view policies as intelligent and well thought out, or not. Not as left or right.

Hahhahahaaha. Those liberals are the reasons for Florida being an expensive dump…. Right. Florida has been overwhelmingly republican. Here’s an idea, maybe stop blaming political parties and look at the big picture.

You seem uneducated. Stop commenting on UKposts. High rents are a result of free market capitalism. Socialist policies such as rent control are meant to curb rising rents.

Dude, Florida is not being destroyed. Your Governor is a Klanman, your guns are rampant, you can put a baby in any woman you choose and get away with it, AND you get to do it all while enjoying sunlight.

This comment is just silly Tom.

Exactly… Florida is the California of 30 years ago and on a familiar path of careless growth… dense multifamily housing and real transit infrastructure is going to be key to absorb the mass growth in a sustainable way
