People are moving from California to Florida because they prefer our home insurance crisis?

Cheap gas. Cheap everything. No income tax. Over 400k people moved here what do you expect? Move to California if it's cheaper and they have no "crisis"

ThePurplePanzy t1_iy8f73q wrote

Explain to me why the gas is cheaper here, because I seriously doubt you understand it in any form. Start with this simple question: how does California get its gas compared to Florida?

And no, people didn't move because it's cheaper. They moved because of lax pandemic restrictions. If people were just generally moving here because it is cheap, you would see red and blue both coming, but that's not what's happening. There's some other factors like a growing tech industry in Miami, but its mostly COVID restrictions.

And yeah, no income tax is nice. Florida has had that for forever though and it isn't tied to why people are currently moving.

Cali is currently running at a surplus, so it's not like they are fiscally drowning.

So then move out of the state. Go to California if it's so much better.

ThePurplePanzy t1_iy8g85l wrote

Ah yes, the classic: "just move!".

Let me ring up all my family and see if I can coordinate a mass move. We stay here due to both my wife and I having family close. I'll have to get my employer to agree to a relocation away from the state I specialize in. After that I will need to sell my house while coordinating the move of a dog, cats, and chickens. My kids will have to say goodbye their friends and school.

Like bro, if I could freely move, I wouldn't be living in this country lol.

The majority of people leaving reported an annual income of less than $100,000, while the state has seen an influx of those making $100,000 and more

Poor people are leaving California while wealthy are moving in…

CA did just become the world's 4th largest economy, overtaking Germany. They even beat out Texas' joblessness rate.

>Still, with just 40 million people, the California economy is punching above its weight on the world stage. Job creation is a particularly strong area, with unemployment falling to 3.9% in July, the lowest since data was compiled in 1976, before rising to 4.1% in August. The gap separating the state from the US national rate of 3.5% is the narrowest since August 2021 and for the first time since 2006, California's joblessness dipped below Texas (the largest two states for non-farm payrolls).

Growing up back east I was raised that a earthquake was gonna separate California from the US and it was gonna float away…

When I told my family and friends that I’m selling everything and moving to California they thought I was crazy.. “your crazy, your gonna get killed, what are you gonna do? Fires, earthquakes!! Ahhh” you’ll be back..

20+ years here and I have some incredible opportunities that would have never happened anywhere else… I came here with legit nothing, and have an entire world to show for it. (Homes,cars, kids, businesses,)

My friends and family I still talk to are back home still doing the same shit they were when I left…

I have always thought, they were the crazy ones continuing to go through the same shit instead of taking a chance on something new..

At the end of the day, now I pray that California will break off an float away, as long Vegas can come with us. 🫶

Even at the height of the oil price spike gas was not $7-8. The average around CA is about $5, but even here in LA county I haven't paid that much per gallon in months.

Sure, but as a Californian, did you factor in the cost of you having to buy waders to swim through a sea of dirty gov-supplied drug needles to the gas pump, the the dozens of homeless drug addicts surrounding the pump that you are required by law to give your money to, and the cost of your legislated penis removal in order to buy gas while someone yells at you for being white? /s, but I mean consider the type of drooling moron you are replying to lol.

40 million people in the state and they should give a shit about less than 1% leaving? That sounds like less than expected after the mass exodus from cities during and after covid.

RobWallStreet t1_iy8uoc7 wrote

I would like to point out.

California 40 million people - 97,437 covid deaths

Florida 22 million people - 82,875 covid deaths

So California has 18 million more people but only had 14,562 more deaths..

So maybe relocating due to the fact that some states didn’t take a global pandemic seriously may not be the best way to gage where to move.

But they are correct, the gas is a $1 cheaper…
