There has been a significant exodus from California. Many people ignored the concerns and issues of those of us who left. Now you pretend like there is or was no problem.
California neighbors one state with no state income tax.
California neighbors another state were the typical workers compensation premium for some classifications is/was 50% to 75% less.
Just to formulate an entity in California to do business, like an LLC or a corporation costs close to $1,000 in fees/taxes even if the entity had no profits. Compare that to Nevada.
The minimum wage is higher in California than in any other state.
The income tax rate is higher than in most states.
Regulatory standards are harder to comply with.
Doing business in California meant that it is not a question of if you are going to be sued, but when.
The business owner is treated like shit in unemployment compensation appeals, I never talked to a business owner who won a hearing.
Those points don't even touch on the costs to do business in the state, like higher gas prices, electricity, rents, time lost in traffic, poorly prepared to work employees, and a few other things.
