Sorry if I sound bitter here, I feel like I was chased out of my own hometown by progressive locusts, so I'm a bit salty about it. Does your son enjoy skyrocketing costs of living coupled with unresponsive services, crumbling infrastructure (my neighborhood in West Seattle was literally cut off by a bridge closure, still is in fact), rising crime, and pervasive trash and vandalism?

Ouch on the neighborhood.

On a lot of other things I have to admit he’s usually oblivious.

But I will also admit it may not be a good thing for the original residents when Californian’s start selecting their city as their alternative to rising costs in CA.

They're all progressive? I've met few real estate people who lean left, save for a friend of my late mom's.
But I absolutely agree - gentrification is evil, and leaves poor and even middle class people with fewer and fewer options to live anywhere. Unfortunately, one of the reasons why there is less and less affordable and low income housing is because ordinary people say, "Not in my neighborhood," if someone wants to build low income apartment complexes.

Why are so many people fleeing?


I’ve already contradicted your assumptions on why: cost of living. It’s a necessary adjustment to being housing supply and population back into a more reasonable ratio. There are always people moving in and out of any state, but the reason it’s become a net outflow is purely demographic, no matter what words different people utter as the leave.

Shoot, my own son is one of those who has moved out of state, as has a large circle of those he went to high school with. The group is now all in the same equally liberal city, just cheaper.

Well if you are enjoying the state thats fantastic.
I know of quite a few people who think differently. My personal idea of a good place to live is probably a bit different than yours. My wife and I are soon moving to a suburban area outside of Tulsa because what was once a beautiful, safe and friendly city has now becoming a dirty, crime ridden cesspool. Much of America is going through such a transformation.


Live where it makes you happy, but stop publicly bashing places you don’t seem to be able to understand. It is an ignorant and inaccurate, cheap shot political debate tactic.

The problem is how Democrats run these places. Look at Chicago with nearly 100 people a week getting shot. Detroit which used to be a great city and is now in ruins.
The Left is very good at campaigns and getting elected but extremely poor at the job of actual governance.

I suggest you spend some time with statistics from cities comparable in size and demographics and realize that the ones run by Republicans don’t look any better than the ones run by Democrats.

It isn’t a party problem.

Quote:
SACRAMENTO, CA—Larry Elder's campaign for governor of California was thrown into turmoil today after Gavin Newsom's anti-recall campaign produced never-before-seen yearbook photos showing Larry Elder wearing blackface.

"This is beyond the pale," said French Chef Pierre D’issoir, who is running Newsom's campaign. "Not only is Larry Elder totally a white supremacist, but we now have proof that he wore blackface as a young man in college! Absolument honteux!"

Newsom will be spending $12 million in predominately black areas of Southern California to remind black voters that Elder is a fake black person—and that pasty white millionaire, winery owner, and French cuisine connoisseur Gavin Newsom is a better choice for the black community than Larry Elder.

"Sometimes we need to spend millions of dollars to remind minorities what's best for them," said Newsom. "Right now, what's best for them is being locked in their homes and given forced vaccinations. Larry Elder will try to come in and offer to lower their taxes, give them jobs, and heal their communities, but the thing that really matters here is that he wore blackface."

The scandal deepened later that afternoon when Larry Elder made an appearance, still wearing blackface.

And the only affordable parts of the country are the Deep South and the Heartland.

Chicago has almost 100 people getting shot each weekend. Show me a comparable Republican run city.

It can be pointed out that whole Republican states like Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and others are at the very bottom of the list when it comes to infant mortality, healthcare, education, and state services for the needy. Plus Covid infections and deaths are absolutely out of control compared to blue states. Elder wants to base his Covid policies on those of those red state hellholes.

You have an inappropriate statistic. Look per capita.

Do you know what per capita means?

Is a city of 1,000,000 that had 100 murders more safe or less safe in your opinion than a city of 10,000 that had 20 murders? 100 is more than 20, after all.

But your risk of being a victim is much higher in the smaller city. Murder is a bigger problem in the smaller city in my example.

As much as everyone loves to talk about Chicago, it only rates 24th on the list of the most dangerous cities in the US.

Another list shows Chicago, population 2.7M, as having 24.13 murders per 100,000 residents, 1098.86 all crimes combined.

I can’t find any cities of comparable size with Republican mayors.

Of smaller cities with Republican mayors, Anchorage (300K) has a higher crime rate (1203.29) but a much lower murder rate (9.12).

Stockton, CA (300K) has a Republican mayor and an even higher crime rate (1414.56) and a murder rate (17.77) only a little lower than Chicago’s.

Tulsa (400K, Republican mayor) isn’t too far behind. Crime 1040.83; murder 17.29.

But the truly horrifying numbers come from St. Louis, MO (300K) with overall crime at 2082.29 and murder at 66.07. Sadly, with a Democrat as mayor, with this disclosure I am hurting my own point. But, heck, I can admit it when I can’t get the data to tell the story I thought it would. Although I’ve read lots of thoughtful analysis on why crime v political party is a false correlation, I’ll admit that is more difficult and simply suggest that maybe St. Louis would work better in your nightmare stories.

We like Chicago because it has such a long history of Democratic party corruption going back decades, along with one of the worst police departments in the country, and is generally such a great example of Democratic hypocrisy when it comes to a whole host of issues they like to complain about while pretending they had nothing to do with. They also had a total ban on handguns up until 2012, which was a nice kicker, even though they'd always tried to blame neighboring states (who oddly didn't suffer from the same crime problems despite having all those spare guns around).

Also, their current mayor is like a Babylon Bee parody of a woke liberal, and looks like Admiral Ackbar about to smell something fishy.

It will be interesting to see if the local news media organisations condemn that sort of behaviour, or implicitly condone it by not reporting on it.

It's also "educational" to see such a "progressive" state being so concerned over the possibility of an "African American" governor, and the ways they react to this.

Not to turn this into the media thread redux, but I imagine the reaction would be quite different if a black Democrat were running for office and a conservative activist in a monkey mask threw something at their head, I suspect it would be wall to wall coverage and mentioned off hand for months. Remember the stink when Ron DeSantis was running against Andrew Gillum in Florida and said something to the effect of "we've got a good thing going here, don't monkey it up by electing this guy" and the media ran with it like he'd whipped on a Klan hood in the middle of a debate?
