Californians Choose Sin Over Scum; Newsom Still Can’t Catch On
Gavin Newsom thinks he can be the president of the United States; that, my friends, is the epitome of delusional. This is a clown who wakes up every day and looks out over a wasteland. A wasteland that once upon a time was a beautiful state. Always liberal, yes. Always full of crackpots and weirdness, yes. Always expensive, yes. Occupied by mostly liberal lunatics, who elected someone worse than themselves? No.
Under Newsom, people and corporations have been fleeing the state in droves for years, and his response is to keep wasting money, raise taxes, and arrogantly ignore the real needs of the state’s citizens.
The most recent trend is for people to flee from Newsom’s scum and to run towards sin, “Sin City,” that is, Las Vegas. The Las Vegas real estate market is experiencing an influx of Californians amid the state’s consideration of a one-time 5 percent tax on their assets. The potential “wealth tax” has prompted many Californians to look for new places to live.
According to Realtor.com, more than 23 percent of listing views in the Las Vegas market come from Los Angeles. San Jose, California, ranks second, accounting for 8 percent of listing views in Las Vegas. Riverside, California, ranks third, with 4 percent of views originating from the area.
Tania Jhayem, a luxury real estate agent in Las Vegas, has observed a trend of Californians relocating to her city, according to Realtor.com.
“There has been a noticeable increase in affluent buyers relocating from California. Many of these clients are selling higher-priced homes in coastal markets and bringing significant equity with them, which allows them to purchase luxury properties here either with large down payments or all cash.”
In Los Angeles, the average home costs $1.03 million, while in San Jose it is even higher at $1.2 million. Las Vegas’ median listing price is now $465,000 — less than half as much as those two California cities.
Beyond the relatively lower real estate costs, Californians moving to Nevada will see several other financial benefits, according to Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones.
“With no state income tax and far greater buying power, Vegas allows Californians to upgrade in home size, quality, or location in ways that are increasingly out of reach in coastal California markets.”
For Jhayem’s clients, these incentives are among the factors that draw them to Las Vegas.
“Taxes and overall cost of living are major drivers, and Nevada’s lack of state income tax continues to be one of the most frequently cited reasons for the move.”
“For some clients, it’s purely financial. They can sell a $2 million to $3 million home in California and purchase a comparable or larger property in Las Vegas for less while reducing their ongoing tax burden.”
In addition to death by taxes, Newsom continues to pump money into wasteful projects, like a recent bill he signed on Wednesday, giving $90 million in tax dollars to Planned Parenthood, marking just the latest infusion of cash from the Golden State to the murderers of children.
Newsom’s office said the $90 million came in the form of “one-time emergency funds for Planned Parenthood and other clinics providing reproductive health care services.”
A $90 million “emergency fund” for Planned Parenthood? What is the emergency?
President Trump cut funding to these slaughterhouses, and Newsom can’t stop portraying himself as some sort of a liberal crusader at the expense of the taxpayers in his state.
Taxes, waste, and unbridled radical liberalism are the only things that will remain of Newsom’s legacy. It’s a hard truth, but California has allowed liberal politicians to destroy what it once was. Now its former residents are scattering to greener pastures elsewhere, which is a good thing as long as they leave their political affiliations behind.
