On November 5th, the presidential elections will be held in the U.S. The electoral campaign, as expected, is moving at full speed.
But among industrial policy, tariffs on China, and support for Ukraine, there is one issue that is gaining more and more weight in the political debate: the massive loss of residents in some Democratic strongholds like California and New York. In this video, we tell you all the details.

Visual Politik: “Why does San Francisco… the California capital…”
Sacramento: am I a joke to you?
Yes 😂
How can you trust the video if such a basic thing gets through the vetting process?
@sloppynyuszi the quality went way down once Simon left.
Most non Californians would guess Sac is the Capital. Sowwie 😂
@@BlueDirt_ProAggressivesac is the capital of California sowwie
You might be misaing the fact that yes you can steal up to $2000 without it being a felony, but the person you are stealing from can rightfully shoot you. So the cost of the same act in texas is vastly different than in california
it's like that one scene in Robocop... "What's it like being a rocket scientist?"
This so much.
Personally, this is why I leftt the bay area for a rural Virginia home: I can build my own home with my own timber, without neighbors that report me to the county for depreciating their property value. and find better work here. Basically, I don't value vineyards, restaurants, billionaires, and the golden gate bridge so I don't need to compete with others who do.
So no NIMBY's
You have started living life on your own terms, great for you man ^^
The answer is literally one sentence:
Housing is too expensive due too political capture by local real estate groups and NIMBY types
This
Yes but also all the subsidies being given out only raises home prices even more. How money works made a great video explaining the housing crisis.
one sentence.....they have turned blue states into a terrible place to live ...and thanks to their migration and voting there....they gonna turn red states into same terrible mess.
Also ultra strict building codes and overbearing bureaucracy makes it a pain in the rear for anyone to want to build single family homes.
How about criminal activity. Why is that not even part of the calculations. It's as if crazy dangerous people don't ruin property or cause people to flee.
Cost of living, blue states have higher housing costs.
Victim of their own success, people have wanted to live there, and new housing construction has not kept apace.
ding ding ding. This is not new. Cali has been way too expensive to survive since i was in grade school.
So ironic that progressive liberals hate building more homes. They care about poor people as long as they don't live near them
"no one goes to the beach on Labor day. It's too crowded." Yogi Bear
Doesn't texas actually have relatively high taxes too, just in property tax as opposed to income tax (which is unconstitutional in texas?)?
Sure the houses are cheaper, but I've heard the property tax rates are actually higher on average in texas.
Don’t forget huge numbers of religious christians have left because they are sick of the LGBT extremism and the closing of churches during the pandemic. They have left for red states with more like minded people.
But will probably still vote blue no matter what smh
@@eazypeazy33 on the surface that might seem correct however, the Idaho Republican party did a poll of recent move-ins to Idaho from the West Coast and found that 98% of those moving into Idaho were conservatives.
You're very welcome to leave and not come back. Many thanks!
They leave blue states to just turn red states blue 😂 AZ, GA and soon TX
that's somewhat true, but don't forget many of the red voters in Cali are going to states that align with their values
@@willywonka4340 why just target Cali.. I live in Sol Cali and around many red voters. They don't leave cause of the weather but hate that it's a very "Dem friendly" state. Honestly I think it's stupid to leave a state you love living just because of voting but America is a weird place
@@TheeRomantic Most Red voters are blue collar folks who can't afford the higher taxes and living costs with the Blue bureaucracy. And those who I know are also competitive shooters who can no longer allowed to use the type of guns legal everywhere else NOT blue politics. So if you see it from their points of view you can empathize their plight. I'm only putting up with this crap here in socal because 1. I can afford it (but for how long?) and 2. I'm a native and couldn't imagine myself anywhere else. 🤷♂️😁 I know that I don't have a chance in hell to turn CA to red again but I'll keep trying lol
This is absolutely true.
330 million Americans in the U.S. of those 330 million over 80% live either within in a city or beside one.
Let that sink in ... over 80% ... The issue is open land doesn't vote. People dont move to red states to invest in them. They move to them to retire and pass away.
There is a reason why Red States are ranked the worse for education, work, safety... People like rights ..
Even in red states that you mentioned have high crime rates, those crime rates come from cities that are very blue. For example: New Orleans, St. Louis, Birmingham, Memphis, etc… and we all know what the common denominator between all those cities are even if people refuse to admit/say it.
Red states have high crime rates in the rural areas as well
The basketball people are the common denominator and people refuse to acknowledge because they don't want to be labelled with the r word
@amayzus Virtually every city in the US is a blue city regardless if they're in a red state or a blue state. For every crime ridden blue city in red states like New Orleans and St. Louis, you get blue cities in blue states like San Diego, San Jose, Seattle, and New York that have low crime rates comparable to Europe. That is hardly any correlation between blue cities and high crime rates, rather a statistical coincidence since 90% of all large cities are liberal. The real issue isn't the fault of "blue cities" being soft on crimes, it's red states being gun happy and doing nothing to relieve poverty nor improve education.
I hated California. It felt like there was a committee somewhere saying "Do we have a law about this? No? Okay, shall we make it illegal or compulsory?" Now I'm back in the UK, even this place is too much and I'm looking to get a farm somewhere in Eastern Europe. Ironic for someone who grew up in the '80s to look to the former Eastern Bloc in search of freedom.
Indeed this is very worrisome. Don't know if it's safe to be in Eastern Europe when Putin is working on bringing them back to its former Soviet fold?
@@willywonka4340I'm in Eastern Europe and unless you're in Belarus and Ukraine, this is not an issue. My country is not much different from other Western European countries, we just don't have immigrants (just jpsees which is almost equally bad).
@@ginismoja2459 I can see that, the part about being safe from the mayhem there in Ukraine and Belarus. I'm thinking in terms of how far will Putin go. Will he be satisfied with Ukraine if he is to win, as in Ukraine losing the entire sovereignty to Russia? I really hope not. Too many unnecessary bloodshed for very unjustifiable motive. Anyway I digress. 😆 Yeah I recalled having a Gypsy family as neighbor here in socal when I was younger back in the 80s, they were the chill kind who were friendly and wouldn't have done any harm to anyone. Not to say that Gypsies are all the same. 🤷♂️ For what it's worth, thanks for your contribution to this discussion 😁
Whoah...! How times have changed, eh?
Which freedom? Like to pollute without limitation?
In Europe, when there are rules, it's for a reason and a good one.
There's no crime stats if they let them go...
This is some of the soundest logic that I have heared in a very long time; as of all languages you choose to speak facts😂
More factual than this channel. These progressives would never consider that
This is especially true for rape and cancer statistics 😅
However, murder statistics are more reliable since murders usually get reproted
@@philoslother4602 I get rape stats but why cancer?
“Louisiana, Arkansas, these are red states with high crime rates.”
And where is the crime located at in these localities? Blue areas with lots of ethnic minorities.
And then spin it up to be more like racist. Oh have I gave you an idea?
So, you're saying the blue cities in red states have much more ethnic minorities and crime than blue cities in blue states.
Yet somehow the cities with the highest amount of violent crime on a per-resident basis are almost exclusively in red or purple states, & state governments have more power than local governments. Hmmmmm, wonder what could be driving that then......
Any more populated place will have more crime. Per capita it’s more dangerous there due to higher carrying rates of guns and more sensitive reaction to perceived social slights.
If you can prove that then please send me some link....
I wish more of the Californians moving to red states would appreciate the culture that attracted them to their new home and acclimate to it. Otherwise, they're moving their problems with them and turning their new homes into the mess they moved away from. I saw this in my home state.
most Californians moving to Texas and Nevada are conservative.
Liberal Californians are moving to Arizona and Colorado
@patrickgallagher9069
I have heard from some conservative exCalifornians that moved to Texas that they hate it. Sure they have the bigger house, more guns (I’m not sure why), less taxes?, but they don’t identify with the culture, hate the weather, and don’t have the social support they built in the states they left. 🤷🏽♀️
To your point, they move with all their unaddressed mental baggage and expect the culture of the new place to be the same as their previous state
@@spacemario Austin and Houston would disagree.
Middle Tennessee is getting dumped full of them and they immediately start complaining and wanting to change things. Eventually the locals turn on them and they end up moving away. Good riddance.
@@spacemario not the ones moving to Austin
All of that exodus isn't just to red states but blue states too. There are a lot of NY workers that are moving across the Hudson to Jersey city, Newark or Bayonne because rent is cheaper.
That was so serface level on your part, way more you could have dived into but didn't. Your video felt more like a pr piece than anything worth while.
Because it didn’t blame illegals i bet. You people are so predictable
@@leftboxanderson5361how about criminality.. and incompetent DAs... You people are all the same.
Why do you claim that people are fleeing blue states in general when you only talk about Caifornia?
Because the video is click bate and isn’t even true, as a % of population more people from Florida move to California than Californians to Florida as an example
@@StrikeBolteafc ur reply was clickbait. overall, more people are fleeing blue states for red states, than vice versa.
@@markkay4224 partially because that blue states fund red states, funny how republicans talk about people on benefits when dems subsidise republican states plus more republicans are on benefits if it’s than democrats, maybe they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop leaching of blue states incomes but less people would move to the red states if that happened.
@@markkay4224 Intelligent people are fleeing blue states, the migrants are fleeing to blue states. The migrants outnumber Americans in most blue states now.
Include NY, NJ, IL then.
You’re clearly missing a lot of details which would lead to a different conclusion. Cali doesn’t enforce their limit, Texas does.
And in texas (or much of it), you can defend yourself and your property if things go sideways.
Doesn't texas actually have relatively high taxes too, just in property tax as opposed to income tax (which is unconstitutional in texas?)?
If you have a high enough income, then property tax that's 1% higher isn't going to outweigh that gain from lower income tax.
Plus, property values are lower in Texas. The Average home value is more than double in California. So even if the tax rate was identical, the tax you pay is not identical because of higher property values in California.
But anyway, the main push factor is regulation, not tax. Regulation is structured to benefit those who already own property at the expense of those aspiring toward becoming home owners. A young family is fortunate enough to get to that stage of life of wanting to purchase a home for their children to grow up in, and finds that to not be viable in California and start exploring other options.
Because they don’t want to suffer the consequences of their actions
100%
exactly that! and that is before i watched the video.
It's fun and click-baity to continue to talk about people moving from "blue" states, but the problem is that it over-politicizes universally socioeconomic issues. What's never addresssed is the slow death of small towns and rural areas; how some cities are paying people to move there; how industries are moving out of the small towns that rely solely on them and are off to Mexico, China, & other countries they can casually exploit without repercussions; how people have to travel further and further or rely on their local veterinarian for healthcare needs or emergencies; how farmlands are being scooped up by large corporations and how farm equipment is growing more proprietary so that even farming is becoming more expensive and difficultly competitive; how these towns are in the grasp of poverty, heavy drug use, and violence worse than "Chicago" or "Portland" or whichever favorite urban area is the topic of the day per capita. Their whole existence is ignored because it doesn't fit the "blue is bad" narrative that every corner of media picks from the low hanging fruit of what they consider news.
San Francisco and NYC has ALWAYS had higher priced housing. Also, SF is only about 45 sq miles & bumps up against hills and a buttload of water. It's full. NYC shares the same land issue. You can only put so much on finite land. In NYC, they're building upwards, but for the wealthy. A higher population means higher taxes, higher crime rates, more homelessness, etc., but it also means more prosperity, higher wages, more benefits. So, people who are bigger risk takers tend to move to these places where they can gamble it all and win the most.
People have always been nomadic here in the States - even in pre-colonial times. You go where the resources are. Back then, it was food. Post reconstruction, it was jobs without the overt racism. In the 50s onward, it's suburban sprawl & self-segregation. Now, it's affordability & remote jobs. Elderly move from NYC to FL. A lot of people move where either the weather is suitable (for them), the jobs are plentiful, or where they feel culturely "safe". While a great many wouldn't move at all. There are also individuals who have been forced to move, whether it's due to violence, govt actions, or acts of nature. There are plenty of "red" people in "blue" states like California - where Reagan and Arnie were governors, and plenty of "blue" people in "red" states like Texas where Houston and Austin make it purple at best/worst if not for gerrymandering.
People who move from/to places solely for politics are more of the problem than the solution. Politics is abstract, it's an ideal, it's a construct. It would be like moving out of an area because you don't like the state flag, lol. Most are moving to better enrich their lives. When corporations do it, it's "business savvy". We live in a capitalist society. The same applies for people. No one cares what political corner you believe in. People are just trying to survive snd do what's best for themselves and their kids.
They leave primarily due to lower costs of living… or so they hoped. Then they find the schools lacking and recurring costs like utilities and insurance to be significantly higher than they hoped, but are now stuck being priced out of their previous coastal state.
Also as so many other Californians join them, cost of living in the state they now call home have ballooned too
You get what you vote for...
As a NYer, this is why I have considered it:
-my property taxes in Nassau County, Long Island, NY are absolutely insane and it’s going towards ridiculous projects
-Manhattan’s DA has lowered the crime rate by not prosecuting crimes. He likes criminals rather than law abiding tax payers
-remote work means I don’t have to stay here
**And the kicker: our governor has declared that dismemberment is not a violent crime worthy of bail..that is ridiculous and insanity
After my kid is done with high school, if nothing changes, I will be leaving
At least you have a house near NYC, don’t sell it, I’d probably be with 2x or more in a decade. Just move somewhere else and rent it.
@@darthjarjar5309If everyone starts leaving the value will drop fast
Enjoy having your house blown away by hurricanes and tornadoes. It’s not all sunshine here in the south. Insurance rates are exploding, groceries are more expensive than my old state of Nevada, there’s been two near miss tornadoes, and property taxes have greatly increased. You will be making a big mistake, the boomers who moved down here from the northeast are already fleeing back.
@@Redd_Nebulanot gonna happen with NYC, the financial center of the world nearby.
But will you keep voting for the same insanity that ruined your state?
If everything is so great and that all reasons given are lies, than why are they leaving? It's the bureaucracy that forces people to leave. Because it take ten years to approve a building and then have the project cancelled because the shadow it casts interfere with a playground.
It's mainly the cost of living... blue states tend to have higher taxes because they tend to have way more and better social services especially for the poor .
They go to red states to vote democrats!!
@@MB-xw3nrhell naw, you would actually think that would be the case. But hell naw , we all know the politicians launder the money to themselves! 😂😂
There is no affordable housing since the government gave private equity tacit approval to destroy the real estate market in 2017. Especially in a state like California that is extremely overpopulated.
@@MB-xw3nr A major part of it is the aging of infrastructure. LA for example isn't a new city anymore. How do you think all of those pipes, powerlines, roads, schools, etc. get maintained and replaced? Money is required. In the U.S. we made the mistake of allowing our cities to sprawl out and we didn't keep them dense enough to be viable in the long run. T
U get what u voted for. Plz dont ruin other state
Perhaps California could do for poorer people what some states do for rich corporations: offer low or no taxes for a certain time period. Watch thousands of poor to middle class folks flood to California to have no state income tax and no local property tax.
The bottom 50% of the US already pays no taxes. Another 25% pays so little its meaningless. The upper 5% pays for them. That's not going to last long as 9 million successful people leave the US every year instead of seeing their hard work stolen from them.
Poorer people have plenty of options and opportunities. The fact they get free health insurance in California
People moving to better opportunity only to vote the same policies their original state had... :/
Yep and that's not good
In tennessee, we view california as a foreign strange place. Like it isnt even America.
Well!! Both of you are doing very well in dividing the country apart.
@@TC-zf1jiI’d beg to differ, I’m from California and leaving Cali for a place like Tennessee, Texas, N or S Carolina, or a ny state like that will be an upgrade
That's crazy to say because so many things that are widely known as American have come out of California. More than Tennessee I'm sure, and I'm from North Carolina right next door. Putting your fingers in your ears and saying "lalalalala" doesn't change reality.
@@cesarmadrigal4709until you get here and realize groceries cost more than the west coast, property taxes have exploded since every boomer has arrived, insurance rates have exploded, and you have to deal with constant hurricanes/flooding/tornadoes.
The masses of boomers moving here have ruined the affordability.
And Texas in particular has a 70 year old power grid that is going to cost the state many billions to upgrade. They wanted to go it alone from the feds and will be paying the price in coming years.
@@12time12 so I have already been there, I grew up in California. Joined the military, have family in Kansas who I’ve visited, I’ve gone back to visit my family in Cali and I’ve seen how other states such as Texas have it. Groceries are cheaper, gas is cheaper, cost of living overall is cheaper all while income being sufficient enough to get you that better life. California is a failed state and that’s from me who lived there for 23 years and has seen how other states live, if anyone has a first person point of view it’s me. Im just waiting to get stationed outside of California to enjoy the life that my sister has in a state like Kansas.
Where is your first hand experience from?
not just taxes, but taxes that doesn't go where they were supposedly being used as they were meant to be used. i.e. check the crooked politician's offshore Swiss bank accounts.
One of the most blatant examples out of California I remember off the top of my head was when San Fran supposedly spent 500 million on their homeless problem in a single year and yet it got drastically worse… how much of that money actually went towards the issue? And how much went to friends and family?
@@sisilotau2185 recently during one of his press conferences Gavin Newsom was asked by a reporter who voted for him about the missing 42 (or 24) "B"illion dollars that was allocated to deal with the homeless issues. He went off tangent and started blabbering about something else to divert the question, but seemingly upset, the same reporter asked again, where's the 💰?? Again, Gavin went elsewhere with his reply and that question was never answered. I can swear you can hear pin drop and sweat rolling down his face, and it was uncomfortably cringy if not hilarious 😂
Weird how you think you debunked the crime cause using stats, but couldn't tell the most obvious problem with using that data.
Police and enforcers in these "soft-on-crime" states don't even bother arresting or acting on smaller crime anymore so no reports are made. The vast majority of smaller crime is now going completely unreported.
Red state enforcers on the other hand, do something once the line is crossed which is why even with Texas's higher $2500 petty crime limit, if you cross that, you are actually going to face consequences instead of being arrested and out without cost less than 24 hours later.
He also kept on interchanging stats on San Fran with California is state as a whole.
If the victims don’t un alive the criminals with their legal phew phews.
Also most crime in Louisiana happens in Baton Rogue, New Orleans, and Shreveport, which are blue cities. Same is true with all red states, Missouri has most crime in KC and STL. Its more clear if you look at crime rates on a municipal level
@@bradleyanderson4315 Which, let's face the key fact.... if someone looking to steal something walks into a store, and sees a few people, and at least one of them has a gun on their hip... he's going to look somewhere else simply because he won't know if the others are armed as well... so why risk it?
Meanwhile, in California or NY, odds are pretty good that no one in that store will have a gun, even in their own homes... so yoink away.
They’ve been cracking down on “smaller crimes” across the state in recent times. Our LEO’s had to prioritize emergencies during and after COVID, hence why certain crimes weren’t worth their time.
He brought up red states with high crime rates but left out that these states are dominated by one huge blue city. Example such as New Orleans in Louisiana.
Lol, cope harder.
Oklahoma has Oklahoma City and another Tulsa both the majority of the population lives in and guess what those two cities have in common they both ran by democrats and the councils are dems to
GDP per capita cannot accurately describe the situation. If you live next to Warren Buffett or Jeff Bezos in the middle of nowhere, are you going to worth billions of dollars?
I think he’s partially right but at the same time I think he’s downplaying some of the things. Just to linger on one point that he said just so this comment wouldn’t be super long . Crime. San Francisco own local government has come out about the safety of its employees because of the crime. District attorneys and Mayors have been put on recall because of crime. Let alone the amount of stores and some cases hotels that left because of crime. I.e. in and out burger and the Hilton.
"they are so soft on crime that people have stopped talking about it."
That's an interesting way to look at this discrepancy.
A lot of it also isn't reported as a crime. The crime numbers in these states are pretty much complete bogus.
what do you eman?
@@marvin2678 Typically, most people saw a crime, called 911 to report it, Police came out and dealt with it. But after the "Summer of Love", the police in many major cities no longer have the manpower to dedicate to every 911 call like they previously could. As a result, the perceived notion is that reporting a crime will get no results anyway, so people don't report it. This in turn spurs the Defund crowd to say "See? We don't need the police!", and thus budgets get slashed, and it spirals from there.
The metric to watch however, is insurance claims (IE, have insurance claims spiked), and legal firearm sales. Because if both are going up in an area, then it's an indicator that something is VERY wrong in that area.
Somebody second guessing Fox News and people who benefit from bad mouthing other governments? Hearsay! I.. I.. I mean heresy!
I think this channel realized how much ADREV can be made by appealing to right wing viewers lol real original.....
blue missouri???
People are shocked they actually need to pay for the social programs they voted for
But that's the problem, the people who voted for the social programs don't pay, they elect people who will steal the money from people who actually work.
The problem is many of those social programs in those propositions are funded by debt. That is why I always vote no on them because while it is nice to do social programs, I can’t support debt funded social programs. Only debt I would agree to take is for productive investments like in infrastructure.
Property crime is higher in blue stats, Red states like Carolinas, Mountain States (MT/ID/UT), and West Virginia have less violent crime too than NY/CA/WA/OR/IL
The only times I was attacked or saw people shooting up drugs in public, was in the city. I prefer living in the suburbs, but I'd prefer a ranch in the middle of nowhere more.
Suburbs and rural areas by both design and population density make it far easier for druggies to get their fix out of public view. Rural meth addicts are still getting their fix even when you can't see them doing it.
So what's your point?
There are now problems living out in the middle of nowhere but YT will censor the reason. (Hint: border)
It’s because they don’t enforce their laws not because of the laws as written.
6:30 - “does not consider theft below $950 as a felony”
This is NOT necessarily the problem.
The problem is liberal prosecutors are declining to prosecute theft in Democrat controlled localities… and for this reason Police do not want to put their lives & bystander lives at risk in arresting criminals who will not be prosecuted.
This is the problem in many US Democrat run localities.
The liberals targeted the prosecutor roles in the Democrat controlled areas via elections, to short-cut & liberate themselves from the legislative laws [democratically elected by citizenry], the judicial system [who guarantees rights of the accused], the executive branch law enforcement [who puts their lives at risk in place of innocent civilians.]
It was an insidious action by liberals, to exploit a portion of the system which was designed to provide mercy for exceptional cases, by making the exception the rule. These Democrat prosecutors are evil, at their core.
Yes. The plainly obvious reason is remote work. Higher population drives higher cost of living, because more demand for less space equals greater costs. This drives local salaries higher as well. If people have an opportunity to earn California wages under flyover-state cost of living, they will jump at it.
The problem is your measuring crime. Most instances of shoplifting aren’t even reported in Cali or nyc. Murders and property crime do not parallel, that’s buffoonish.
Republican projection. You’d think you people would stop accusing people of being groomers after all your politicians, pastors and celebrities get caught “messaging” children
If I were a remote worker I would go live in a stable developing country where the average wage is USD 2-3 a day. You could save 90% of you salary and retire early.
You use Louisiana as an example of a red state with high crime, but you also fail to mention that New Orleans, the “murder capital” of the state has a solid Democrat government; the city council is 7 of 7 Democrat and they have elected a Democrat as Mayor every election since 1872.
Suspecious that he didnt talk about one other very big factor, a certeny "type" of "people" which make living there dangerous and hell
Poor people should get relocation assistance to move out if expensive stars. CA and NYC don't have adequate infrastructure to handle more housing.
Joke is most will move out but still vote for the socialists.
What socialists?
Don't forget that lots of red voters have had it and moved to red states. I know of many who did
You don't know what the word "socialism" means.
I don’t think the red states have many socialist to vote for. At best their democrats are somewhat more towards the center. Are there a lot of Bernie and warrens in Texas?
The joke is that Americans think the democrats are left wing.
I've had my rental car broken into twice in the week I was visiting California. Before that, I had never had my car broken into in my life. To pretend that California has more crime than tough on crime states like Florida is bullshit and the only reason Texas has a high crime rate is because it shares a border with Mexico, a fact which was completely ignored in your video. Furthermore, all the cities in red states you have named as exemples of cities with higher crime rates than blue states are cities ran by blue mayors, so it is a problem of soft on crime policies.
Whether something is classified as a felony or misdemeanor isn't really critical the concept of whether a state is tough on crime. It is whether prosecutors are willing to prosecute and whether they are willing to put people in jail or prison. Going to jail for a year for stealing $2000 worth of crap, isn't worth it, unless you are pretty sure you'll get away with a number of times.
And the thought of "My insides will become my outsides" is also quite the deterrent.
Wow you sure are desperate to help slow Joe aren’t you. “Republican state bad democratic state good” says the foreigner who has nothing to lose
9:00
Can't businesses sue the state for lost revenue from theft if they refuse to prosecute under $900? Perhaps a giant class action lawsuit of $400 billion would get the govt's attention to reverse this dangerous precedent.
Might as well pass a law saying if you murder less than 3 people, you won't be prosecuted. But don't you dare murder that 4th person.
And this goes for all states that refuse to prosecute for any amount
In general, you can't sue the government for such purposes. The Supreme Court has ruled that government can't even be sued for failure to protect people's lives, let alone property. At most you can sue them for direct negligence, but in most cases the concept of "qualified immunity" will kill the suit. If your house destroyed by a police raid even it was at a mistaken address the city typically won't pay out.
@richdobbs6595
Sounds like this might lead to vigilantism due to failure of govt.
@@Governor-General.of.Qanada Maybe eventually. But this situation has existed as settled law since at least 2005. This isn't going to be the issue that leads to overthrow of the Constitution of 1787, nor massive outpouring of folks on the the street.
This guy is the definition of fake news, or news twisted in such a way you think the opposite. A true manipulator. Each video is worse and worse than the previous
Maybe make a video on if these people migrating out of blue states still lean left and how their votes will affect how the states they emigrated from and immigrated to will vote in future elections
Like locusts they destroy their environment then flee to new grounds to destroy repeat ad infinitum.
The 2 different parties are like deciding weather to put the toilet paper on the front or back and never agree to a final decision 😆
You are not breaking down the crime statistics correctly. In Texas the cars are not getting broken into every day and the shops are not getting ransacked.
Gas lighting BS.
As usual this content just devolves into agenda-laden nonsense, gotta unsub
Too much regulation. We need both conserving force and innovative force. Flordia is an example of too much Conserving force and Cali is an example for too much innovative force. Having more of one than the other just leads to negative outcome.We need each other polarization will destroy us.
\
It's "divide and rule".
It doesn't mean much to talk about "regulation" in general. What matters is what the regulations are doing.
There actually isn't much polarization. If you ask people questions in ways that don't use the keywords of political talking points, the responses suddenly grow closer.
That said, we do need each other, obviously.
Many years ago I moved to San Francisco after college to find a job. One of my previous housemates had already moved there, so I moved in and we split the cost of his tiny apartment. Anyway, I would get up early every morning to go for interviews which meant going to bed by the lastest 10 or 11pm. One night I had trouble sleeping because of a group of hippies hanging out under my first floor window playing their drum at 1 in the morning. So I went out there to ask them to keep the volume level to a minimum. One thing led to another and before I knew it, I was engaged in a long conversation about their lives, why they're homeless, what they're doing in SF, etc.
This is what they told me: most of the homeless people in SF actually do not come from SF. The vast majority of them are out of state residents who consciously decided to come to San Fran because 1) the mild weather: it's not too hot and not too cold so you can very comfortably sleep outside, 2) the benefits: they get a monthly allowance from the State of CA as homeless individuals, 3) the soup kitchens: SF is dotted with soup kitchens which serve them free meals, 4) the healthcare: they get free healthcare from the state of CA, and 5) acceptance: the people of CA are pretty accepting of them and they aren't being harassed or forced to leave like they are in their home states. One guy came from NYC, another one came from Chicago, etc. They told me, why live on the streets in the freezing cold in Chicago when you can enjoy the mild, year-round weather of San Francisco? In addition many US cities give these homeless guys free bus tickets to anywhere in the U.S. just to get rid of them, and they almost always ask for bus tickets to SF.
Unlike many other states, they also get free healthcare in CA. Just go to any public hospital and as long as you can't pay, the state (meaning California taxpayers) picks up the bill. They were actually making fun of me for getting up early in the mornings going to job interviews. They live a great life on the streets, get cash from the State of CA for being homeless, get free food and free healthcare plus they can sleep in the park whenever they want to, wherever they want and they can't be forced to leave. These guys don't see themselves as victims and were actually HAPPY to be homeless in San Fran and said they wouldn't give it up for the world. That little chat REALLY opened my eyes!
the 3 biggest groups of homeless people in my experience are drug addicts who need help, people with mental illness and those that want to be homeless. As strange as the last one sounds, there are people that don't want the responsibility of a job, paying bills, or maintaining a apt/home. Its a mindset I don't understand but it is out there.
@@spencersharp8155 These guys belonged to the latter group. As a matter of fact, they gave me the impression that most of the homeless people in SF belong to this group. They're not interested in getting a job, getting an apartment, etc. They like their lives just the way it is, thank you.
This is true.
That's very very interesting.
lololol. the left wing bias is super strong here
Anything specific you can point to as verifiably inaccurate?
Body should care about red/blue. The only thing that matters is true/false.
Last straw, with your smug bs.. unsubscibing
So let me get this straight. You avoid taxes by moving to a place called...Taxes.
Oh. no views yet. nice
subtle way of saying, foist! 😂
When the hell did Americans forget that RED is the international colour of the LEFT?
(Answer: 2000 Presidential election when some twit at CBS news said, "Hey, you know what will be easy for Americans to remember...? _'R' for 'red'; 'R' for 'Republican'."_ )
Would have made more sense before the Teddy Roosevelt administration, when the GOP was still the solid progressive side.
who cares?
We do what we want. We have freedom after all
@@josephlandry8787 I see. And the rest of the world acknowledges red as the colour of the left because they don't have freedom? You couldn't have given a more trite, hackneyed, "American" answer. Naturally, you'll take that as a compliment, which is again, the most American thing you can possibly do.
Say, what about all those boys who were lost fighting the "Reds" in Korea and Vietnam? (What am I asking? You likely don't even know what that means, nor could even find those places on a map.)
@@josephlandry8787 Good joke
Moved to Texas from Canada fkn love it
Unsubbed. This is a lying channel.
This story has been over for 6 months now, Austin is now seeing people leave to go back to California. It’s been reversing for a while now.
Like Austin now has California’s cost of living-without the California weather
A lot of times it takes seeing to believe, I moved to Nashville from Louisiana. Within my first 6 months I met 14 women, 7 from Illinois, 3 from California, 1 from Massachusetts and 3 from Tennessee.
The exodus is real.
Oh, I think otherwise, all be it related. Jobs are moving from blue states to red ones, particularly to evade unionized labor (just look at Boeing) and people follow.
And it looks like the Governor of California will be replacing Biden! It's going to be such a show!
I like Gavin Newsom even less!
He’s good looking!.!.
6:09 "There is no clear correlation between crime rate and Democratic government."
Yes there is. The most crime-ridden parts of Republican states are usually the Democrat-run cities within those states.
And if you look into the history of the states you will find all the worse states either used to be long term democrat strongholds or still are. Mississippi, ...
No. Big cities in general have higher crime rates... it doesn't vary significantly between Democratic or Republican run cities. Unless you can provide clear statistics proving otherwise?
@@BowieZ I'm still waiting,...

Adding to the point about housing costs -
There are hundreds of abandoned and/or dilapidated buildings that could easily improve the crisis all over the country.. but governments and real estate groups refuse to renovate those buildings in favor of constructiing ridiculously expensive luxury neighborhoods instead
Also the crime rate in red / blue states is not accurate either since most crime in red states happens in blue counties. If you exclude the blue cities in red states the crime is concentrated in pockets of concentrated blue cities.
But isnt the biggest cities blue? Crime tend to be higher in those areas despite who runs it.
They don’t wanna talk about that though
That's actually false rural crime is just as high but it has less people
Louisiana and Arkansas have high crime rates because of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and West Memphis.
You are really comparing apples with pears when discussing crime. I suspect that you see something very different if you e.g. look at crime level trends rather than just current levels, if you compare CA with TX, or if you compare big cities rather than the states as a whole. The US rural society of the south, where government was weak, and traditional society was largely based on owning big herds of animals which could rapidly get stolen if you weren't prepared to shoot first to defend your property, is violent. Professor Richard E. Nisbett describes this in Culture of Honor: The Psychology of Violence in the South (Westview Press, 1996). This kind of Southern violence will hardly impact the people from California who settle in Houston or Dallas.
You guys missed a BIG one. Climate change. Many Californians have also "fled" to states like Minnesota, with less severe & less frequent natural disasters. Not to mention housing crisis os terrible everywhere nowadays. Partly due to not enough skilled workers to build homes as many left the industry after the 2008 recession like my husband did.
Also, MN last voted Republican in 1972 for Nixon, & was the only state in the union to vote Democrat in Reagan's election for a second term in 1984... but the Democratic candidate was from MN so😅
Looking at crime stats by states is meaningless. We compare stats by where criminals are arrested and prosected. That's done at the local level, and all of the Red states with high crime rates have large Democratic run cities. AR=Little Rock...LA.=New Orleans.... TN=Memphis.... GA=Atlanta
Cool Video ..... I am an American and I think you should be a little more specific. People aren't fleeing blue states they are fleeing BLUE CITIES ,there is a difference
Make more states blue…
Lol you look like someone who would say that
Nothing new to me. I moved to a red state for cost of living back in the 80s. For the past 20+ years I've worked for a CA company. Nice pay but still have the low cost of living. The politics are embarrassing, but I've always stayed away form politics.
Nimbyism is very much NOT a Dem factor. I can point to many Rep suburb cities of Atlanta which have the same problem. Of course they can just "import" workers from elsewhere as they're not the size of San Francisco. So you can look for the same thing to spring up elsewhere. Florida is already having housing issues with their insurance problem.
It's just not the high taxes, cost of living & housing cost but also alot places have built comercial real estate around the tech industry that. So when workers move away alot of office buildings tend to become unnecessary or too costly. Another issue is how decriminalization of drugs, theft & bail reform has been handled. Throw in Progressive Judges & DAs who don't deal with the worst case of theft, burglary & shoplifting. Finally there is all of this in top of demoralizing effect that defunding the police had on recruitment & law enforcement.
Those issues exist, glad he showed crime is highest in the South.
Glad they got to this at the end; The biggest reason people leave NY and California is the cost of living, specifically housing. Unless you're very successful in an industry that requires you to be in these places, you simply can't afford to live in anything bigger than a shoebox. Why stay in a city where you can never hope to buy a house if you can live in a mansion in Texas or the Midwest? Daycare and school is another major issue
If San Fran can fix its NINBY problem and start actually building more housing quickly, all the other problems will become negligible
0:57 Your argument is short sighted. Both TX and FL were once heavily Democrat. It's just a cycle playing out.
Soundquality is bad. Echohell. 1.4 mio subs, but soundquality like beginners.
Cost of housing. Period. And these guys are clueless as it is not about San Fran - but entire Silicon Valley / Bay Area.
Crime is an issue only if you can't afford a better neighborhood.
Lifestyle, community and other important parts of living are unmatched outside of the Bay Area for many - but not all - people.
Weather is better.
Also, schools kind of suck. But they are no better in Texas.
The people leaving are the ones that haven't won the stock option jackpot and are still trying to rent.
Another problem with California is that if you want to build a house, the companies that provide the materials and labor need to be LGTBQ friendly. So this creates monopolies because even if you have the cheapest materials, but you are not LGTBQ friendly, you can't sell you materials in California. California has a list of Sates where they will not do business with.
USA needs Chinese style "Hukou" where the locals have strong disincentive for problems in their own provinces and cannot change the boat easily. It makes much more sense in USA (than China) as Americans exercise their voting rights to create perma-blue States, and hence should also suffer from the misery it creates.
It's mostly housing costs. Even the taxes (as bad as they are) aren't as big a deal as financing a $900K house (the average home price in California). And those costs are high because blue states have an unholy alliance between urbanists, environmentalists, and labor unions (all key voting blocs for the Democratic party) that ensures that few houses get built and what does get built is very expensive. The whole neighborhood review thing they've implemented is one tool these people use but even that is really only a problem because the growth management laws they've implemented basically require most new development to happen in pre-existing neighborhoods rather than on empty land on the fringe (where most red state regions do most of their new construction).
With that said, if California's taxes are comparable to France or Sweden then that's just pathetic because for ordinary people the level of government benefits in California are nowhere comparable to what you'd get in either of those countries. It's not even appreciably better than what you'd get in most other US states.
I do not believe for a second that people move because of higher taxes, after all, they get something in return for it, from better roads to a library to a better safety net. If taxes were an immigration magnet, the Nordic, Germany and the Netherlands were emptied out. Crime is a factor, but only when it is violent and visible. People start moving, however, when housing is unaffordable or when there is a housing crisis. The second reason is the lack of job opportunities and the cost or availability of affordable healthcare. Of course, the GOP spin doctors will come up with tax, immigration and crime. They are lazy and they always do.
You're ignoring the fact that California grew in population in 2023. Many of those same remote workers are coming back to the state because companies are requiring everyone to go back to the office.
Probably because things like housing are massively higher in areas with higher population density...
I’ve lived in rural, suburban, and urban California, now live in The Town. There are crimes everywhere and of course you are more likely to see it with a larger population. I’d rather take a bad day in the urban core than a good day in the suburbs or rural areas. There’s just more services and providers. As a local I see mainly NIMBYism and bureaucracy as the main cause of lack of housing. you can build all the housing you want, but if there is no work, services, or transport you end up in Antioch.
Fed tax is 37% only on the money in the $578126+ bracket - it's progressive, same with NY tax.
I'm going go have to disagree with, NM isn't a republican state and Louisiana had a high violent crime. If you go to FBI crime watcher and change it to personal property California number sky rocket and has had the highest of property damage and personal theft in the last 3 years.
California especially San Francisco has a skewed GDP because of all the startup CEOs that live there. Honestly would love to see the gdp there if you exclude the top 1%
I live near Napa, Ca. It is expensive, but the weather is awesome and the scenery is gorgeous. Things like 300 days a year of sunshine are hard to put a price on. There are problems, but I'm staying.
Stick to Europe mate. Ur throwing out facts, but I live here and some of the things your saying are so misleading
