People are too poor to buy 7 dollars a gallon of gas and sky rocketing crime... good one.. and no I don't have to.. I live in Florida which was one of the most states people moved to.

My gas is 430, crime is increasing everywhere. Stop basing your opinions off Grandma's Facebook posts.

Lol crime is increasing at the rate of California? Why are shops closing up in San Francisco and LA? it's a cesspool.

LA sure. Have you ever left Florida have you been to California?

Republican counties in California have higher crime trends and violent crime rates than the Democratic counties.
Good luck reconciling that one - and if you manage it, we can move on to the top 10 worst crime-ridden cities, and talk about how 8 of them are highly Republican cities.
Trust me, arguing that big cities or Democrats = crime is not an argument you can win.

Fellow Floridian here, how you enjoying your home insurance rates?
LSHDnato t1_iy8duav wrote
Better than california. That's why people are moving here from California.. as the person in the first comment said... those people are poor if they can't afford it.

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"

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.

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…
