Right, I didn't mean that they don't have a valid complaint. I meant more that they were scapegoating CA buyers. I don't know the stats to know if they really are the reason things are going up. To that end, I think I agree that "sour grapes" is the wrong term. Perhaps I should say "scapegoating?"
- LinuxBender 3y agoI meant more that they were scapegoating CA Maybe. I think that is just symptomatic of the tech industry being mostly concentrated in CA so they get the blame. Tech is everywhere but I mostly see new California plates here. I was a CA transplant and moved to a dense Mormon community so they have been nice to me despite being from CA. Other parts aren't so nice to transplants. About 60% of the people here are from CA and that is climbing daily. We techies are certainly driving up property taxes. The state tax assessors love it they even come visit me and we've had conversations about this. The people, not so much.
