    California is a failed state, they're moving to Arizona in droves

    -Driving across Arizona, it's hard not to notice a surge in California license plates. The reason for this is becoming more apparent every day. California is a failed state.

    After nearly a decade of one-party rule, the once-Golden State is tarnished, possibly beyond repair. Listing all the problems facing our neighbors across the Colorado River would require several books, so I'll only highlight a few.

    The fifth-largest economy in the world and home to many of the greatest technology companies on Earth can't keep the lights on. The state's three largest utilities turned off power to more than 410,000 homes and businesses on Friday, Aug. 21, then again to half as many Saturday, Aug. 22...

    Documentary filmmaker Christopher Rufo's latest work reveals the tragic failure of the city's homeless policies. In "Chaos by the Bay," he shows the results of well-meaning progressive efforts, from decriminalizing homelessness to plying addicts with free drug paraphernalia, alcohol and cannabis. For the most part, rampant mental illness has been left untreated.

    City leaders have commandeered area hotels to provide free shelter since COVID-19 hit, but the numbers continue to rise. Between 2017 and 2019, the number of homeless jumped by 17%. According to experts, that number has risen by an additional 20% since the start of the pandemic.

    "I have never seen the level of frustration as high as it is now," city Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said. "I hear daily from people who say they are selling, they are leaving...

    The sad fact is, San Francisco has become unaffordable and unlivable at the same time.

    The harsh pandemic response has hurt other California cities as well. Gov. Newsom's arbitrary diktats have shuttered churches and gyms, but ignored massive Black Lives Matter protests and the advantage-taking rioters who followed in their wake...

    When I was in Phx/Scottsdale in 79-81, Arizona was a gathering place for those that were disgruntled with their home states. Michigan folk moved there in droves at that point in history. This is not surprising.

    California also has one of their chief yahoos trying to pass a law which would make a person liable to continue paying taxes to the state for 10 years if they leave. (Good luck trying to enforce that one). I would imagine that they cannot do anything to you unless you return there for a visit and they catch up to you. But then, who would want to go back anyhoo?

    California is like watching a "hoarders" tv show. Their home is so cluttered with filth they cannot clean it because they like it the way it is. California is cluttered with the filth of sin. And they like it that way, while others stare in amazement.
