Puerto Rico makes a pitch for Amazon?s HQ2.

Wrong, That's a business owning, property tax paying, income tax paying, sales tax paying contributor who has his own insurance that HE pays for and who doesn't take social security or medicare and contributes to numerous charities and schools. Thats not a win for anyone. He is replaced by what?
Property tax on a million dollar house has no meaning in CA thanks to prop 13. He could be paying $2,000 or $20,000.
The old people I know don't spend $$ even if they can. So sales tax they generate is minuscule.
If he is a business owner who creates jobs, I assume the business will be sold and the jobs will stay.
He will be replaced by young working, income generating, job creating people, hopefully.
Amazon has a stock market cap of $500 billion. Why would they care about a few billion in incentives?
The workers they attract will determine if they plateau and fade in a few decades like most big tech (after bezos is gone) or if they?re the exception that can turn into a 1-2 trillion mkt cap co.

This is one of my neighbors. He posted this tonight. He lives in a multi million dollar waterfront property. This tax paying producer is just sick of it, and he?s not alone. I have several clients and associates who are either in the process or seriously considering this. Who will be left?
At 60 years old now and having been a once proud Long Beach, CA guy things have changed. I have aggressively planned, downsized, donated and sold off anything and everything big time this year as my tipping point has finally been reached here in my home town of Long Beach and in the State of California. I am moving out and moving on to places where I can enjoy a new lifestyle free from the insanity that is the City of Long Beach and the State of CA. I am lucky in that I can do this as I am in a place in life where a I can actually do this without disrupting the lives of people close to me.
My Local hometown Long Beach city sales tax is 10.25%, now tied for #1 in the USA. Ridiculous. CA State Income taxes are also off the charts now at 14%. Ridiculous. CA Gasoline taxes have recently been raised astronomically for no reason other than a disguised tactic of pure redistribution of wealth by super majority elites that are in place here in this once great state. Ridiculous. These taxes are onerous and abusive.
My home local community is overrun now with homeless people with little to nothing being done about it. The local road and street structure and conditions where I live is third rate and embarrassing.
Sanctuary status also being declared by our local city and state governments to others here illegally is not fair to us long time actual contributors to our community.
No regrets, no worries. Just done with the madness and moving on.

It's no secret that California has a net migration to other states. Our population keeps growing for two reasons:
A) Strong net migration from other countries (many with enough cash to buy Irvine home for cash)
B) More births than deaths
If we want to lower the cost of living here, we'd need to somehow stop all of the foreigners with loads of cash pricing out the locals.

Sounds like a win-win for the 60 year old to be moving out of state since he sounds like he's not working anymore. Costs of treating old age illnesses is expensive. Hopefully he will move to a place with good doctors.

Well since he is not yet of ss or Medicare age I would hope he doesn't take it (assuming he is as rich as you implt).morekaos said:

So Cali is homeless and immigrant friendly but not business friendly?
That's not so bad.

Growing homeless camps contrast with West Coast tech wealth
San Diego now scrubs its sidewalks with bleach to counter a deadly hepatitis A outbreak. In Anaheim, 400 people sleep along a bike path in the shadow of Angel Stadium. Organizers in Portland lit incense at an outdoor food festival to cover up the stench of urine in a parking lot where vendors set up shop.
