Yes!  I have a friend who lives in the Bay area.  I'll be with him in Vegas.  I have a friend who lives in Belmont Shore, and he will be in Vegas.  I have a friend who used to have a place in Belmont Shore until 3 years ago.......my same friend who just move out of the Lincoln Park, Chicago area.  He will be in Vegas.  I have another friend who lives in Pacific Beach, and he will be in Vegas.

 

Yes, I've asked people who live there.  Plus I was at a bar in Pacific Beach, CA in late April/early May this year.  The place is called Lahaina.  My friends Pete and Dave were golfing so I Ubered to the bar after my flight landed.  I asked people there.

 

Yes, I've asked people.  Yes, I've read what people are saying.  Apparantly Kevin finds it surpising that people don't like crime, homelessness, drug addicts, closed down businesses and high taxes.  I knew that even before I asked lots of people, and their answers confirmed what I knew.

 

Apparantly I'm a master of the obvious.

Actually, I forgot Fish, my friend from Fountain Valley.  Here's the take with five/six or so friends from California.  Dave's wife wanted to move out for all things discussed, but he didn't want to.  She got sick with cancer and died 6-8 weeks back.....he has no plans to leave.  Fish and wife have no plans to leave.  Graby/wife have no plans to leave.  Steve left, but frankly not for the reasons discussed.  Bay area Jay moves out within a couple of months for every reason discussed.  He's moving to Fishers, Indiana!

 

They each have a few friends who are considering vacating California for all things discussed.

And that is what percentage of all the folks moving from California? 0.00002%?

Another kevin lie.  Actually it is almost 2%

 

The California exodus to other states is even worse than we realized; the state’s population dropped by more than 500,000 people between April 2020 and July 2022, with the number of residents leaving surpassing those moving in by nearly 700,000 the Los Angeles Times reported.

NY is worse at 2.5%
