Moving to California used to be THE DREAM. Even 10 years ago.
Now it costs 4X more to rent a moving truck to leave the state vs move to it, as demand is so high to get out.
That’s how fast Democrats can destroy a state.
It used to be the dream when whites were the vast majority of citizens there. But now it's very "diverse" and soon there will be more hispanics there than anything else, if that hasn't happened already.
They're used to Hispanics by now. It's more likely the high taxes, ridiculous pro-crime policies, letting homeless shit everywhere, and COVID-19 lockdowns driving the mass exit. The government is 100% corrupt.
The high end jobs are the dream. Actually living there has been unpleasant for long enough for Pixar to use it as a setpiece for a movie about dealing with emotional trauma
The actual geography there is wonderful. Great weather and you can go from the beach to the mountains in a few hours. Making living there unpleasant is quite the incredible achievement.
There are awful parts of California, but there are also parts of California that are arguably better than any other part of the continental US. (depending on your goals and purposes)
I can't explain why people live in the awful parts, but they might as well move to a cheaper hell hole in another state, for all the good being in California is doing them.
The worst is the people who welcome the people and companies coming from the Bay Area.
It is like watching a state busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre
You can't just shoot them, so what are you going to do?
Require people live in a state for a minimum of 5-10 years before letting them vote in a state or local election, and for federal elections require they vote absentee in the last jurisdiction in which they met those criteria.
Also deport.
Secede.
With all the blues coming over there won't be enough votes to secede soon.
Californian tax.
And yet the California housing market is still on fire in cities like SF and LA. Wonder who's buying all that property if it's not people moving there from other states?
Hmmmmm.
Can someone tell me the Mandarin for "All your base are belong to us?"
Yep, up 38% YOY here. It's the people fleeing the hell hole cities in the bay area.
They'd actually be like 6th or 7th (I assume they're parroting an older stat because lol at updating one's beliefs in the face of new facts), and the fact that if it were a country it would be roughly the fifth largest first world country, so they are essentially bragging about not driving themselves into third world status- yet. Also California is as close to heaven on Earth as exists and people are fleeing. No king who has ever lived would not abandon their kingdom if they were offered California. None. And it has been shit up.
They've been largely been coasting of the backs of the retirement fund of the states largest employer. Which is the universities.
You're pretty on point tbh.
Would be significantly cheaper to just rent the truck TX->CA, pick up the truck, drive it to CA, load it up, drive back to TX, unload, and then drive it back to CA again to drop it off.
Assuming that the time spent isn't a deal-breaker.
The tweet suggests this wouldn't be possible. The prices he checked were for Santa Monica, CA and Phoenix, AZ. The rental agreement has maximums for days used and miles traveled. The agreement allows for 455 miles and the trip between the two cities is about 390 miles. I suspect they're going to charge an additional fee for going over that limit and for going over triple the limit, I would suspect that limit is going to be pretty hefty.
For one-way rentals they include a certain amount of mileage and days in the rental and charge $0.40/mile for every mile over and $40/day for every day over. Then of course there's the extra gas, and those trucks even empty don't get very good gas mileage.
I did some quick calculations on Santa Monica to Austin, and the numbers ended up being a wash assuming a 1400 mile trip and 8 mile/gallon mileage @ $3/gallon. Not accounting for the extra hassle and risk of getting into an accident.
For trailers this can work, because they don't charge mileage on those. I know someone who did an in-town rental and drove it to another state to pick up some stuff because it was cheaper that way.
we don't want you ruining everywhere else.
Get the price up to $420,000. Upfront payment only.
Probably thought he was getting bargain with how low housing/rent prices were going.
Man, I'd hate to be a California lesbian right now!
They're gonna have to figure out new third dates.
supply and demand
Too many people want to GTFO of that shithole...
