Right up there with demolishing Fremont dragstrip later known as Baylands. The land then sat empty for 20+ years. I lived in the SILLYcon valley when it was an unspoiled area. Left in 94 when I could no longer tolerate the bureaucratic BS and growth that had turned what once was a garden of eden into hell. I can assure you its gotten much worse and more liberal.
I know more natives to the state that have bailed than people that have move there and some that want to bail but can't financially as they stayed too long. violin frown twocents

Yeah, but they get to use state (and probably Federal) money to do it and at the same time get rid of a business that caters to evil fossil fuel run engines. laugh2

Sadly it's a win-win for the people of California as far as they see it.


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

You can't even imagine how bad it is getting here. I've lived here since 1972. My dad got transferred out here when I was a kid. It sucks to watch a once great area go to sh!t. My wife and I want out when we retire, but don't know where to go.

Hey! Don't lump us all into that category. Some of us still have common sense.

We get a lot of Californians here in TN. 99% are great people which tells me the good ones are leaving and that can't be good for the California over the long term.

The problem we have is a lot of people move here from NY, LA, (insert city here) because they hated it there and are now trying to turn it into the cesspool they left. They start pushing for the same agenda's and stuff that made their old cities unlivable.

Check out TN when you retire. Not a bad place. up

I hear that they do not tax your retirement, if so that is damn near reason alone to move there.

Texas doesn't tax your retirement nor does it tax your income.

Yes no state incom tax here in Tennessee. Sales tax only but you only pay sales tax when you by something. Average sales tax is 9% depending on which county you live in. All my relatives in Michigan tell me 9% is robbery that it’s only 6% in Michigan. I just laugh at them and remind them the pay 6.5% state income tax plus the 6% sales tax when the purchase something. They just don’t get it. shruggy

Property tax is also low. I live on 7.5 acres, have a 3600 sq ft shop and 1900 sq ft house with a three car garage and only pay $1400 a year properly tax. I paid triple that on a .5 acre lot with a smaller house with two car garage when I left Michigan 13 years ago.

Spot on. Tenn is really favorable on all those points.

I was looking at texas... property taxes are ridiculous compared to other states in the region. Texas gets you there. I have many friends that are leaving texas because of property taxes.

Nebraska is not bad except for the property taxes which are on the high side nationally. But you can also homestead depending on age, what you buy and your income. Weather the last few years has been pretty decent but look around as you have a lot of choices twocents beer

They can build a bus stop anywhere. This is not about a bus stop.

Is there any kind of movement to get this stopped?

Good luck with that. The powers that be in California hate internal combustion engines. Also, there is very little interest in saving old buildings. Sure, there are historical buildings here and there, but most people want new and shiny things whether it makes sense or not.

Oh and the property taxes are insane! Ours are about $1500 a month. That’s not a typo.
