Have seen more than several business people in CA mention moving out;
and that way [1] less gov regulation,[2] less taxes
You have captured the California success story!Terrel L. Shields said:California was a nice agricultural state in the 30's. It turned into an over-regulated, over-built, over-priced hell hole that average people could not afford. The affluent developers, seeing little opportunity to milk more cash from the cow, have moved on to other places where they will develop at the expense of the state. So places the California developers are now are seeing prices for property skyrocket, local builders go bankrupt (kinda like Poker, the guy with the most chips is going to outlast those with few chips usually), the taxes skyrocket, crime goes up, the quality of life goes down, so over-regulation is sure to follow....
My brother says that the Californians that moved to Reno either do their business over the Internet or consult from there. I suspect telecommuting is having its impact. However, some small manufacturers have moved facilities and employees to Reno.Steve Owen said:Maybe so. A couple of years ago someone at a MAAC meeting brought up the effect of the internet on rural Missouri properties. The basic idea being that now a lot of people can do their job from any location... and they might choose a location that is cheaper to live.
Still, I don't expect to see Missouri become the new Seattle (Californians moving in and driving up prices) anytime soon.
