For those of you trying to leave CA . . .

[PlumLoco]

A buddy just sent this froma FB page that his wife uses in their search. Is this for real?

 

[cofooter]

Hard to believe even if it is true but I doubt it............

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

They want to stop us they’ll have to build a wall.

I’m sure they’d rather build that one than one on the southern border. Talk about fucked up priorities.

How could California law restrict what they do in South Carolina? This is somebody messing with them. Or they don't want anymore Californicators ruining their area, LOL

Why not real estate info?

I do know that I see on a number of real estate ads in magazines, the nonsolicitation notice in the small print on the bottom of the ad

The Facebook page shows a picture of two dudes. I think someone is creatively discriminating.

Maybe the have the new agent commission law miss understood?

Why would anyone want to leave CA?

 

[angiebaby]

I'm skeptical, but I wouldn't be suprised if they initiate an exit tax somehow. Atlas Shrugged is one of their instruction manuals, after all.

South Africa did (maybe still does) this. Wealthy whites were free to leave, but your money stayed behind. Certainly prevented white flight.

If Gavin ever finds out about that, he will be all over it.

Well it might fix the real estate markets in at least a dozen states for all the locals currently priced out of their own areas if the CA money dried up.

 

[oldman]

For the last 40 years I've watched guys from all over the country come to California and work 9 or 10 months of the year. Cuss the state and its Sh*tty politics while sending money back to any number of the other 49 states, where they call home because their state had a depressed economy, they watched their friends and family be unemployed.

But I spend nearly 50 years working in the state and choose to take my winnings and move to a depressed state, and I'm a bad guy?

I don't agree with the state or the politics, but you can't deny money is made here. I'm sorry my windfall might screw up your housing market.

Gavin knows he has a problem, but he is part of it, so his fix is to try and f*ck people on the way out.

 

[Sharp Shooter]

Yeah, I'm not buyin it. As far as the weather, who else was "real surfing" over the holiday weekend in 70 degrees? Don't all respond at once.

 

[DUN]

Another case of, "The whole country can move on into CA, but God forbid a native decide to leave."

Gotta be fake though right? A home builder doesn't care who buys said home and California has no say in the matter, especially out of state.

As a refugee from Cali that moved to AZ in '12, I really don't mind the influx of retirees. That said, I moved here when the economy was still crap, and paid off the house.

Unfortunately, the unrealized capital gains thing...that's when I'll start cussing.

It's not a bad life..

Unfortunately, the unrealized capital gains thing...that's when I'll start cussing.

Our earned dollar is taxed more times than it should be. ( once is too many) But taxing us on money we could make should be against the law. It shouldn't even be considered.

I don't fault anyone for jumping ship, as long as you move and adapt. Don't complain and try to change your new home.

 

[dread Pirate]

Chainsaw parts as well

 

[oldman]

Chainsaw parts as well

There is a huge list of odd benign parts they refuse to ship to California for our own safety, I just hauled a combo sink/faucet from Utah because the faucet included flowed too much water.

I could buy them separate, but the sink alone without the faucet was $100 more.

I don't agree with my state, but I have to be a realist about the income.

I make pretty good money relative to the nation, the climate is great, and the work is endless. it's been that way for 40 years.

You're not really selling it with the lack of sun in these pics

But alas, the average "Beach Californian" thinks this ^ is peak weather!

I always thought good beach weather involved the sun. To each their own, I guess.

Amazon won't ship me a Holosun red dot for my pistol. I haven't figured that one out yet.

Certain exotic leathers are a no-no. Like python, which isn't endangered.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

That sounds like a SC rule more than a CA one.

When we purchased our new house in AZ back in 09 we had to sign several pieces of paper that we intended to live in the house and were not essentially straw purchasers for an investment company. These policies were directly aimed at companies that would purchase up housing stock, which seemed odd at the time considering the economic climate. Evidently it was a policy left over from pre-2008 housing boom.

Pay attention. Gavin has tried twice! Both times have failed but it sounds like he is gearing up for a third attempt. His idea is to tax you on your income and/or pension if you earned it while living in California, regardless if you have moved out of state.

 

[Sportin' Wood]

Life is a series of tradeoffs. No matter if we want to believe it or not, we trade in most ever action. Our trades are normally perceived as trading something of less value for more. Weather may be more valuable than freedom for some, convenience more valuable that cost and so on. The wonderful thing about our country is that you have the freedom to move about to best align your values and make trades that you perceive as attractive. It would be a terrible thing to see a state tell it's citizens that they can't participate in this freedom, I find the thought hard to believe, I hope it is not real or that something is missing, like a Californian who wants to purchase a Tenn property as a tax shelter.

I'm going to post this on one of my real estate sites and see if there is any truth to it. With all the crazies in the world, I don't know if I will get to the bottom of it, or create stir, but I will post my findings.

Can anyone find anything online to reference what this guy is talking about?

I could not purchase a fuel pump for my 1997 Mercruiser and have it shipped here. I ended up shipping it to a postal place in Parker.

This is all over Amazon for Business anyway. From faucets to nearly all automotive parts that could touch oil or gas and a million things inbetween.

This was for Heater Hose. So fucking stupid.

Yeah, it was horrible! You can see the misery's written all over my face as I came into the beach. It does get crowded especially on a 3 day holiday weekend, but no different than the channel or Pirates cove or Parker or Vegas....


Sorry for my wife's lousy quality phone pics.

My neighbor moved out wife loved it he thought it was ok kids hated it. They sold their home here in CA. and this was about 6 months ago . Now they are trying to move back into Ca. Our neighborhood actually. But homes are $400k higher and nothing available .actually it was a year ago damn time flies.

Cute little waves, boards and wetsuits…
Come on over to da aina if you want to surf waves without wetsuits year round.

Went out to watch the day begin a few weeks ago.

 

[Tooms22]

I get it, people who hate California (even the ones who live here) can't find anything to be positive about. Life is what you make it.

Lived in Newport Beach no less than 75 yard from the sand for four years in college. I've been in SoCal for 24 years.

It was always interesting to me that California beach living isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I talk to people who come to California to spend time at the beach and they say they didn't know it was overcast and almost cold except for July 1 - September 30. It's kind of a Montana short summer. When it's sunny and 75-85, the beaches are great. It's just not as often as advertised.

Just kinda pointing out that overcast and 70 isn't most people's beach weather. So the "Who else got to go surfing in undesirable weather like me?!" doesn't really have the effect on the masses. It comes off like AZ people saying oh 122 degrees is completely fine, I like the heat. I call bullshit on enjoying ass sweat just from walking to your car after work.

It's like some odd, California bias about the general consensus on good weather. This isn't hating on you or not finding anything positive about California. It looks like an awesome time for you and the family. Just can't be a fan of Seattle weather (Currently 67 and overcast there) at a SoCal beach on Labor Day Weekend.

I grew up 15 min from Huntington. I appreciate the marine layer more now that I’m 50 min away. When I was mtn biking in Claremont this morning I was especially missing that marine layer.

I respect your view and appreciate the post. Some of my beach friends absolutely hate the morning cover as well. Not really comparable to Seattle though lol -peace!

Bro gotta completely disagree with you on this. First off chances are the sun came out and it was a hot afternoon in the photos @Sharpshooter posted above. Secondly, having lived right on the 1 yard line of the beach farther North myself for 35 years I can tell you without a doubt that the best weather is September through the end of February as long as it isn’t raining or blowing thru after a storm. Spring weather is the worst IMO. July and Aug are foggy for sure. The other thing to note is there are a hell of a lot of other places in California besides So Cal so as far as the crowding issues, so don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater …here’s a random phone pic from October showing what the beach looks like whether you’re in SD county or Ocean Beach SF in the fall and winter.
