Firstly...Santa Ana is Not a Wealthy City in Orange County. All the Beach Communities plus Anaheim Hills, Orange Hills, Tustin Ranch are the Wealthy areas.
You must have your facts wrong bro. There are way wealthier neighborhoods than Santa Ana. Try Villa Park or New port Beach but it sure ain't Ghetto Ana. Good Luck
Reasons People Are Leaving "The Golden State" Under Governor Gavin Newsom Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom assumed office on January 7, 2019. His second term will end on January 4, 2027. This is an overview based on people leaving the state. Gavin Newsom has been involved in California politics for 27 years. Do you think that he might be part of the problem? People are leaving CALIFORNIA for various reasons, driven by both economic and personal factors. Governor Newsom has done nothing to turn this around. Gavin just keeps signing progressive liberal bills about everything “under the sun” and does not listen to the concerns of Californians. He is now facing a second recall. HIGH COST OF LIVING: Housing Costs: California's housing market is notoriously expensive. While other states such as New York and Hawaii also have high housing costs, California's combination of high prices, limited supply, and significant income disparity makes it the state with the highest housing prices relative to income. Drivers in California are paying the highest prices in the nation for gas this summer. TAXES: The state with the highest taxes in the nation is California. This includes a combination of state income tax, sales tax, and property tax. California has a progressive income tax system with the highest top marginal tax rate in the country, reaching up to 13.3% for high-income earners. The state has a base sales tax rate of 7.25%, which is among the highest in the nation. Local jurisdictions can add their own sales taxes, leading to combined rates that can exceed 10% in some areas. While California's property tax rates are not the highest in the nation, the HIGH PROPERTY VALUES result in significant property tax bills. As of 2024, the average cost of a house in California varies significantly depending on the region, but statewide, the median home price is approximately $760,000. HOUSING SHORTAGE: Limited housing supply and strict zoning laws have led to a significant housing shortage, making it difficult for many people to find affordable housing options. In 2023, California saw approximately 110,000 housing starts. This figure includes both single-family and multi-family housing units. HOMELESSNESS CRISIS: The state has a high rate of homelessness, particularly in urban areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco, contributing to concerns about safety and quality of life. California has the largest number of homeless people in the United States. As of the latest available data in 2023, California ACCOUNTED for about 30% of the nation’s homeless population. Over the past 5 years California has spent $24 billion to tackle this problem. Instead of solving the problem the homeless population has grown from 151,000 to 181,000. This increase occurred over a period of three years, from 2020 to 2023. The mild climate in many parts of California can make living outdoors more feasible than in states with harsher weather conditions, attracting homeless individuals from other regions. NATURAL DISASTERS: "California frequently experiences natural disasters such as wildfires, floods, earthquakes, and landslides. Residents are advised to be prepared for these environmental hazards, which are often exacerbated by extreme weather events and climate change." California typically experiences the largest number of wildfires and acres burned annually compared to other states in the United States. California is also frequently cited as the state that experiences the most severe and widespread droughts in the United States. Annual earthquake damages in the US are estimated at $14.7 billion, up from $7.5 billion in 2017. California accounts for $9.6 billion of the annual losses, followed by Washington ($1.2 billion) and Oregon ($745 million). San Andreas - are you also waking up? QUALITY OF LIFE: Issues like traffic congestion, long commute times, and pollution in major cities can negatively impact the quality of life for many Californians. Otherwise, California tends to rank in the middle to upper tier among U.S. states. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES ELSEWHERE: Other states offer comparable or better job opportunities, often with lower costs of living and better business climates, attracting Californians to relocate. California’s economy has shown signs of strain recently. The state is in the middle of back-to-back multi-billion dollar budget deficits because of declines in state tax revenue. California’s unemployment rate is 5.3%, which is above the national average and the highest of any state. POLITICAL CLIMATE: Some residents are dissatisfied with California's political climate, which they feel is too liberal or not aligned with their personal beliefs and values. California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation July 15, 2024 that bans California school staff from informing parents about changes in their child’s preferred gender identity without the student’s consent. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: High business taxes and stringent regulations can make it challenging for businesses to thrive, leading companies and entrepreneurs to move to states with more favorable business environments. Recently Elon Musk decided to move two major headquarters, X and SpaceX, from California to Texas. On Apr 1, 2024 - the California State Legislature and Governor arbitrarily decided that the minimum wage for California fast food workers should be $20 an hour, or 25% above the state's $16 level. RETIREMENT: Many retirees seek to stretch their retirement savings further by moving to states with lower living costs and better tax benefits. These factors collectively contribute to the trend of people leaving California in search of more affordable, less stressful living conditions, and better opportunities elsewhere.
The only thing Gavin cared about was collecting his paycheck and re-election for Governor of California. He’s nothing but another POS democrat politician!
If you want to clean up the camps, start providing opportunities for those currently living in them. Help them get back on their feet, instead of just brushing them away.
So let's be real here.... Newsoms policies is what made the excessive amount of homeless. The Supreme Court is allowing them to clean up the camps, and who voted for this allowance? LOL oh the REPUBLICAN justices lmfao 😂 Not a single Democrat justice votes yes. You fucking Democrats are so beyond stupid and here are the Republicans saving your asses again, just like they will in 2025-2029 with Trump... If you vote blue, you should be embarrassed by your idiocy
It’s amazing how you can call someone you don’t know personally and have never met even once “the worst person ever”. Before judging others on failed relationships and personal issues, you should look in the mirror. Karma is a bitch, especially to those with a judgmental soul 🤡🤡🤡
Youre an IdIoT. I really tried to not say that but fr you need to grow up. You dont speak for any of us. This is your OWN personal opinion that im sure no one else believes. Her looking for her happiness dont mean shes a gold digger and that basic ass comment "many people cant stand her, shes the most hated celebrity ever" is an extreme exaggeration. Stfu
