    Try leaving the country.

We have a beautiful home (casa) paid for and taxes - well try less that $100 USD. Water bill - with large pool - $50 USD a month - electricity (we use solar) but try $40 USD every 2 months People? Friendly The place is safe unless you like doing drugs; this is not the mainland. Easy travel? San Jose Cabo San Lucas airport is an international hub city. Direct flights to Atlanta, LA, San Jose CA, San Diego, Houston, Dallas, Nashville - the list go on. We have been here 13 GREAT years. So - think outside the box - live far less expensive with a higher quality of life, put a little adventure in your life - try Baja Sur, MX.

It's like still believing in santa after seeing your mom stuffing presents under the tree. My own state of AZ (Republican) is horrible. We're almost always # 48 on best run states lists, right behind CA at 49. There is however one thing partisan that remains pretty consistent. Democratic states do a better job of both policing and preventing public corruption. We're talking degrees here though not good and bad. On top of that it's been republican aligned groups taking cases to court to weaken the countries public corruption laws. Again though it's not like Democrats put up much of a fight to stop it or more likely, agreed not to fight the efforts in private.

Now thanks to everyone moving here (and I dont blame them exactly our economy is booming we have lots of jobs, but the state and counties are not controlling it) it has made traffic an absolute nightmare (they solve the issues with new roads, exits and round abouts and then build more homes and back to square one again) , the trees are torn down by hundreds of acres to make housing for all these people moving here and its ruining what we had. To make it all worse these people then move here and want to then turn our state into what they fled from by creating higher taxes to have what they had there and electing the same types of politicians with the same agendas the same mentality that created the mess they left.

      There is a net movement of people moving out. It's almost 200k a year. Most of the people who are moving out simply can't afford to live in California. Or at least they aren't spinning their wheels so much. Many of the people who are moving in have higher incomes. I can believe that. I live in the SF Bay Area and the middle class here is now made up mainly by the higher income level of the middle class. Surprisingly a significant percentage of people moving to California are from Texas.

By the time they got back to NJ, they decided to move here, sold their house and had a house built in a new subdivision at the time near me for less than $200k and bigger than they had in NJ.

      People say the taxes are high in NJ and they are, they just raised the tolls on all the toll roads again and they raised the tax on tobacco again, cigarettes are at about 10 bucks a pack now, two things I'm affected by, because I use tobacco and I drive a descent amount, however in comparison to places like New York and Philadelphia, the tax rate is way down and the one thing people forget are that incomes in this state are a lot higher than many other states, New Jersey has always been known as the powerhouse of the US economy, Bush 1 said it when he visited, its true, whatever happens in NJ will usually be the trend for the rest of the country. Not sure how cheap gas is at the moment with covid 19 going on in other states, but at the moment I'm paying $1.51 a gallon, about $20 bucks to fill my tank and my job isn't effected by covid 19. Like he said, a lot of people are escaping nearby states for NJ. Many live in NJ and commute to work in NY or PA and keep a much larger piece of their paycheck. For those reasons, New Jersey did not make the list and even though it didn't, its a known fact, lots of people are leaving this state fast, just not at the pace large enough to make that list.
      New Jersey is also the only state thst still has 100% full service gas stations. That provides a descent part time job while in school and on the Turnpike, its providing people with little education a descent paying job with benefits, just to pump gas, something people do themselves in almost every other state.

  • @lomgshorts3
    @lomgshorts3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Why did I leave the Rochester NY area? It is called "eminent domain", where the state or City takes your land without compensation (I think 1/10 of the value is no compensation!) and left me with 1/4 of a farm. So I searched the Southern states for a comfortable parcel of land, bought it and sold what was left for a tidy "nest egg", and MOVED to Alabama. We had bought 100 acres with a dilapidated farmhouse on it, renovated it, and planted pine trees on the land. Now, after years have passed, the pines are mature for harvesting. I now am looking for the best price on my trees and re-planting. After that is done, I am retiring, maybe my Son will take up tree farming. Yes, Birmingham is growing close to my "farm", but it will take a while for that to become a problem. Yes, NY was a great place to go fishing, and camping in the Adirondacks, but eminant domain is bullshit and should never be used to break up a family farm to sell it to a concrete and asphalt manufacturer, ruin the ecology, and then close and ruin a town's economy. Here, I will never have to worry about it in my lifetime, and Alabama is a great state to adopt as my home.

The feeling was that music had got too complicated and dark. People wanted a return to simpler and happier music. People wanted a return to more innocent times. The Watergate Crisis and the fall of Vietnam to communism meant that many Americans felt disillusioned. Jimmy Carter was a failed President.
