I was born in SF as were my parents and two of my four grandparents. I am the last of my line who still lives on the SF Peninsula .. some have moved out of state and many moved to central CA.... Haven't you had enough of Kalifornia. There are plenty of other states in the USA. Take Washington State, it's not over crowded and has zero percent capital gains tax rates. Would you let outsiders drive you out of your home or would you stay and fight to keep it? California is a laboratory for the rest of the country. NY and Chicago/Illinois are close too. Cities going bankrupt We show the rest of you what happens when you tax everything possible and let government salaries and benefits grow without bound.. You get people retiring in their 50s with less than 20 years service... while the productive, working taxpayers who only get Social Security work into their 70s in many cases to afford retirement. Then they cut money to things we care about, education, and new taxes come up with promises to fund education... It is amazing to see the stock markets of the world go up with all the unfunded liabilities of taxpayers everywhere. I guess Jim Rogers said it best in Jim Rogers Market Outlook - CNBC Summary He explained the US and China, all governments, make up the numbers so he doesn't pay attention to them. Rogers said governments will try to stimulate growth by printing money. He said they are not very smart people, that is why they work for the government. He said that when they print, real assets will go through the roof.
