Why is Leftist Cali poorer than Rightist Texas?

[Nazeroth]

Higher taxes strict gun control etc etc

As if there aren't high taxes and strict gun control in New England, as if the South doesn't have a whole bevy of problems, and as if the infrastructure on the Eastern seaboard wasn't falling apart.

All I'm saying is that I've lived plenty of places in the US, visited plenty more, and there's not really anywhere with extraordinarily green grass, imo. Each region has it's nice perks and it's annoying flaws.

yeah but California sucks where it actually matters, like buying a home.

[Bombadil]

More to the point why is Cali such a trigger to the right, what is it that so offends their sensitivities.

[MineLegotia and Equestria]

Now, while I'm not the best person to comment on American stuff, it might possibly either due to rising taxes or increasing regulations. Both are bad for businesses and will result in businesses - if possible - fleeing an area. Which is what's happening to California. Texas on the other hand, looks like the best option because, well, no income tax.

[New haven america]

lol, the average poor-middle class person in the left area of California are middle-upper middle class in most other areas of the nation.

That heavily depends on the area of California. California as a whole isn't insanely that much richer than the nation as a whole.

Yes, that's why I specified the left areas of California.

Well for being the "bastion" of liberalism is sure fails to live up to it's name

Cries about inequalty= massive homeless problem

Cries about police=police brutality problem

Cries about firearms=strict gun control

California is like a annoying projecting leftist, that does just that: Projects

The cost of living expenses of California is what balances it out.

Yes, which is why they're poor in California but middle class in most other areas.

Because they don't worship at the altar of Colt and Browning, and because the state insists on treating minorities like people, apparently.

Americans are weird over how territorial they are, and their actual angry dislike not just for other states.. I was in Manhattan Beach wearing a SF t-shirt and a guy literally told me to fuck off back to Norcal.. I was like 'dude, I'm not American, I'm just a tourist..'

So weird.

it's because america is closer to a Union of independent nations

[The Blaatschapen]

California is leftist?

Really, silicon valley, where lots of billionaires made their money, is left wing?

[New haven america]

More to the point why is Cali such a trigger to the right, what is it that so offends their sensitivities.

Because it's the most economically powerful and populace state in the country (And 5th most powerful economic entity in the world) while also being largely liberal and progressive, which by right wing theory means that the state should be on the brink of collapse due to the supposed fact that left-wing policies are inherently meant to fail.

It triggers them because it's everything they're against as well as continually striding along when it should be failing in their opinion.

[The Lone Alliance]

More to the point why is Cali such a trigger to the right, what is it that so offends their sensitivities.

Because as OP pointed out Californians have started to flee their state to Right leaning states, bringing their values with them, and most Right wingers don't want to see their state become California.

(To be honest I'm sure even a lot of liberals and leftists don't want to see their state become another California.)

It is failing though, that's the problem, it has one of the highest costs of living in the nation as well as taxes. There is a reason many of us are leaving for places like Texas.

I would have left too if it wasn't for my family.

So...we shouldn’t treat minorities like human beings because it costs money to do so? Got it.

The cities in general are relatively left-wing by US standards, the more rural areas can be surprisingly just as regressive as anywhere else.

Authortarian technocrats parading as virtue signalling liberals like enslaving illegals to work as an underclass?

i guess.

Or you know, the state could actually put it's money where it's mouth is and fix the homeless problem, but that would require higher taxes and more tax payer funded meth i guess.

yeah but California sucks where it actually matters, like buying a home.

Home prices are high in large part because of demand to live in California.

There are also reasons why buying a home in California is particularly attractive to those who can afford it versus somewhere like Ohio, namely the appreciation that comes with the house.

there isn't a demand anymore that's the thing, people are LEAVING the state.

just go put your money where your mouth is if you hate it so much and bring your family with you

1. It is failing though, that's the problem, 2. it has one of the highest costs of living in the nation as well as taxes. 3. There is a reason many of us are leaving for places like Texas.

1. I wasn't aware being the 5th largest economic entity in the world counts as failing
2. So does Texas
3. Who wants to break the news to him that they're mostly moving to the democratic areas of Texas?

[Bloing]

wow this thread has really flared up

You do realize that there is still a high demand for housing right? People are going both ways, to be fair.

I mean, if they left and took their family with them they'd have more than enough to pay for it due to the price difference with the rest of the nation.
