Single best thing we did to secure a sound retirement. I was 42 at the time. The quality of life is so much better both in financial health, school quality and business friendly to small business out of state. Looking back we should have done it much sooner. California is on a slow walk to destruction. You can’t tax yourself to prosperity. Without high tech California is toast.

Your ‘Rules for Radicals’ sarcasm schtick is getting a little dated, no?

The poor are always among us. If mass immigration is encouraged, then government must take care of the poor.

Also, there is no such thing as a minimum wage….there are only minimum jobs wrought by slaver globalists, corporate food barons, slum lords, big box store moguls….the service economy is demeaning and explotive taking advantage of unsuspecting immigrants, the unskilled precious young, defenseless single moms.

Dumbed down minimum jobs have more value when thoughtfully restructured setting up workers for productive futures instead of squeezing every little nickle out of the masses as “the” business model”.

Never ever tip……you encourage the institutionalizing of minimum jobs and economic slavery.

Help workers who must each tedious day beg for tin cup tips by encouraging them to seek respectable and dignified employment only….

Comrades you are the solution!

Many show no desire to do much more than live in the US, send money back to their beloved homeland.They do not embrace US norms, do not trust law enforcement and harbor criminals.
Forget housing, this is a good reason to leave, because there is no end to them.

Looking at the population increase and the number of housing units built, CA is likely short about 40,000 units annually. Just multiply those two numbers and you have a $20 billion housing shortfall annually. Oddly enough, the most direct source of money is a fee on transactions which will raise costs and the other is a ballot measure to raise $4 billion dollars for low income housing. That amount of money barely even covers the cost of regulations on home buyers ($85K per unit times 40,000 units needed is $3.4 billion).
The legislature seems to be doing things to make it look like they are not ignoring the problem but they are just working at the margins and not solving anything.
