Californians dreaming of leaving

Breitbart:
Majority of California Residents Want to Leave: Poll

The results are sobering. Nearly two-thirds, 62%, of respondents said they believed the best days of California were in the past.

...
Nearly three-fourths of residents, 72%, say “cost and availability of housing is a very serious issue for California” — rising to 76% in the Bay Area.

And 62% of residents say “homelessness is a very serious issue for California. The proportion in the Bay Area is the same.

SFGate.com notes: “It appears the housing and homelessness crises have led to a pessimistic outlook.”

The housing crisis in California is mainly caused by regulations that prevent the building of new housing stock and the insistence on open spaces.  This has driven up the cost of existing homes and caused many to use camping tents as "affordable housing."  Others actually are living in their cars or old RVs.  It has also led to a lack of sanitation and outbreak of third world diseases.

Despite the overregulation of the housing market the poll also found that a majority in the state also believe the tech industry should be more regulated.

Californians are following a trend in moving to low tax states.
