And California is an incredibly successful economy and people dream of living there.
- airforce1 1y agoThen why is everyone fleeing to escape the high taxes and crime? California is losing house seats at the present. Also, I don't know if you can really credit the left's supermajority for the success of SV... CA's politics have pivoted over the years. Look at an election map of CA in 1980 and you'll see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_United_States_presidential_election_in_California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_United_States_presidentia...
- fundad 1y agoEveryone is fleeing? Sounds incorrect. There are people still living in California, many moving in and even more who dream of living in California.
- squigz 1y agoThey're fleeing to escape high taxes and crime? Are you sure about that? https://www.ppic.org/publication/californias-population/ https://www.ppic.org/publication/californias-population/
- VirusNewbie 1y agoI live in California and I do think there's a lot going for it, but do you think the government is efficient? Are you really making that argument?
- fundad 1y agoYea. California’s government delivers a lot of services that protect ecosystems, a healthy economy and quality of life. All three of those examples are mutually beneficial. You can disagree with some services but that’s because the state does so much, for example I think there is too much wasted on the carceral and military side.
