From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/news-why-joe-rogan-move-texas\">Joe Rogan<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/why-did-elon-musk-move-texas-wealth-tax-capital-gains-2021-11\">Elon Musk<\/a>, the Golden State is losing some of its most notable individuals due to a plethora of counterproductive policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kavanaugh cites<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/jackie-avant-death-raises-alarm-la\/\"> crime<\/a>, homelessness, and anti-business policies as some of the main reasons for leaving, \u201cI would never let my kids walk (alone) in Brentwood,\u201d said Kavanaugh, \u201chow many times do you have to be out in Los Angeles and see feces in the streets before you just don\u2019t want to be here anymore?\u201d It is not just the ultra-rich who are leaving, many who are in the middle class are leaving too. West Hollywood Resident Jake Lee, a former special effects technician, is leaving his career and moving his family to North Dallas. Lee said that the crime, COVID lockdowns, and tax policies drove him to Texas, &#8220;The final straw was this school lockdown that my (14-year-old) daughter had to endure for a year and a half through 7th and 8th grade, which was truly devastating&#8221;. Lee also said that remote learning lead to an increase in cyber-bullying among her classmates.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The degradation of L.A.\u2019s formerly flashy aesthetic is only increasing, as demonstrated by the sea of trash surrounding the railroad tracks in downtown L.A. Thousands of littered packages from looted trains passing through Los Angeles even provoked outrage from Gov. Gavin Newsom, \u201cWhat the hell is going on?\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, it looked like a third-world country\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of the general ugliness that has defined L.A. over the past decade, living and working in the city is not only dangerous, but expensive and impractical. California is the most regulated state in the entire country with over 390,000 regulatory restrictions, and when you account for the absurdly high capital gains tax (highest in the US) it becomes clear why Musk\u2019s Tesla and SpaceX are now a part of Texas\u2019s economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by William Hale Liberal policy and urban chaos has been pushing people out of California for years, but this exodus is especially prevalent in once glamorous cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco.\u00a0 Hollywood is known around the world as the center of entertainment and celebrity lifestyle, but recent trends in the media business&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8075,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 -
