As long as folks can "lock in" these low interest rates with "fixed rate" loans then there's no problem. At least not from the threat of rising interest rates.

The California exodus has shown no sign of slowing down as 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 rain that fell on California in recent weeks could have supplied the state’s water needs for 10 years — if it had been captured and stored. Unfortunately, most of the water is being left to drain to the Pacific Ocean.

California received some 32 trillion gallons of water in three weeks of “atmospheric river” storms across the state, according to Fox News. In 2014, the state used 42 million acre feet, or about 1.4 trillion gallons, annually, according to the Desert Sun, citing the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). (A more recent figure from USGS suggests the state withdraws up to 28,800 gallons per day, or about 1 trillion per year, from the environment.)

Given that the state only taps half of its water supply for human uses, about 16 trillion gallons of the rain that fell on California in the last few weeks could theoretically be directed to human use — if it were stored. That means that enough rain fell to supply the state’s water needs for at least another decade — and maybe longer.

However, the state’s water storage capacity is only 43 million acre feet, matching about one year’s human use. Given that most reservoirs — even in the ongoing extreme drought — have some water in them, not all of the 43 million acre feet of storage space is available to capture the ongoing rains — and some dams’ floodgates have been opened. More than 95% of the rain that is falling on the state is simply being allowed to wash out to sea.

California’s budget deficit has skyrocketed to $68 billion mainly due to months of unexpectly low tax revenues, according to a new analysis from the Legislative Analyst’s Office released on Thursday.

The latest deficit figure far exceeds the $14.3 billion estimate from June, according to Politico. The shortfall could potentially lead “Gov. Gavin Newsom and lawmakers to make spending cuts on a scale that few term-limited elected officials in Sacramento have faced” during the next legislative year, the report said.

California is suffering from the major financial impact of people and businesses fleeing the Democrat-led state.

As the mass exodus to red states continues, California is now faced with a devastating budget crisis caused by the “severe revenue decline.”

Under Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s watch, California now has a record $68 billion budget deficit.

Worryingly, Newsom believes that California should be a blueprint for how the rest of the country should be run.

The state’s budget deficit has grown exponentially in just a few months’ time, according to California’s non-partisan Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) report released Thursday.

The deficit has soared by more than $54 billion from just $14.3 billion in June.

And while the deficit isn’t the largest to ever face the state as a percentage of overall spending, it is the largest in terms of real dollars.

The LAO’s report made no mention of the billions in tax revenue lost by California due to the exodus of its people and businesses. ...

California saw its first-ever population decline in 2020 when the state imposed rigid lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

From January 2020 to July 2022, the state lost well over half a million people, with the number of residents leaving surpassing those moving in by almost 700,000.

Haven't done it in a while. Uhaul will practically pay you to drive a truck or trailer into CA. One of the cooler free metrics you can use to check out migration patterns.

You know how fucked California is when they offered it to Xi as a pre-softened KommieKunt colony with insane, abusive appointed electorate and fake elections, in return for money to keep the foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC afloat. Xi turned them down. He brushed off the politicians, the CCP flags lining the streets, and the lisping promises of the traitors and treasonistas. He was primarily interested in the tech leaders, Blackrock, and Vanguard. Meetings with vaseline robot boy Newsom and the other Orc pols were perfunctory.

I live in the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County. Likely one of the nicest places to live in the nation, or at least it was. Multiple murders, home invasion robberies, mall takeovers, and random violent brutal assaults along with an overflow of homeless from City of Los Angeles have rendered it no longer the case. In particular a recent brutal murder of a woman in her 60’s out walking her dog by a transient with a sledge hammer, has local Nextdoor abuzz.

And in truly self defeating, delusional liberal style, there are a few posters with “then get out, we don’t want you” type comments along with another ignorantly hammering the “but stats show crime is dropping line that he hears from liberal propagandists without any interest in why that might be despite empirical evidence to the contrary.

California is a shithole. My wife grew up in the hood and said she felt safer there because the OG’s would look out for the neighborhood. I mentioned this to a few coworkers who lived in rougher areas and they confirmed it. They said the gangsters didn’t want the young guys going after the long time residents.

She won’t go anywhere here after dark by herself anymore.

I’ve go six more years and it cannot come soon enough. My childhood in an ethnically diverse suburb in the San Gabriel Valley, 9 miles east of downtown LA, was magical. Now it’s fucking crap. Fuck this place, fuck Gavin Newsom, fuck the Democrats and those that vote for the .

The law was met with celebration by everyone still living in California, as they were all gay already.
