Number 1 Billionaires wont leave lol and number 2 it doesnt matter because the companies they run still do business here and we can tax the fudge out of them.

  I'm sure they can find another sunny, coastal state with a friendly government, the infrastructure, the talent, their mansions, the lovely weather, and the sixth largest economy in the US. That should be trivial.

    South Florida is sunny coastal area with a friendly government, lots of mansions, lovely weather, large economy.

      lovely weather* * outside of the frequent storms and hurricanes

      A tiny economy compared to Florida, a deeply right wing government and culture, it’s already fully built up with no room for newcomers, hurricanes and rising sea levels also make it an insane choice. Please be serious.

        I'm sorry but you think people are not going to move to florida because of hurricanes. Please be serious. Also the left wing progressive culture is working wonders for California. It's a wonder everyone that can is leaving.

        I don't believe that the whole billionaire-led VC industry in California is going to relocate to Florida, in part because of the weather, in part because of the cost, and many other factors. As far as "everyone leaving" California, I don't think that's true, but I'm on the other side of the country and it doesn't bother me either way.

        Florida, Texas, Nashville - there are lot of better places to live outside of NYC and SF in 2025. Let's revisit in a year after the weather tax shakes out.

        I was just on a ski-trip in Aspen. just about 75% of people I met there were “just in Miami” or “just in Key West” (mostly Miami) but “came up for Christmas and New Years” Billionaires have a “home State” as much as I have hair (you probably are guessing correctly now that I am bald…)

    yea, that’s super hard… every government is friendly to billionaires (you should know this by now), the infrastructure is a weird one but unless they are moving to Zimbabwe they should be Ok, weather in California is weird one considering last few days but plenty of amazing weather elsewhere (billionaires - as you should probably know - have just like a few houses to enjoy whatever weather they want, just saw few last week in Aspen skiing)… so yea, I see how your comment makes a lot of sense :)

    Looking at Tesla and that billionaire, Texas is that destination, and while we can easily find a list of reasons not to move to Texas, at the end of the day, as a business climate, you can build things and start businesses there with way less overhead. How's that Bay Area housing crisis in going? Build anything yet?
