I find it interesting that moon-bats are the first ones to cry it's Bushes Fault or now the new mantra is "Romney...." but when these posts come up we rarely see them raise a key-stroke.
Don't blame all Californians for the failures of individual cities. We're doing just fine here in Palm Springs.
Whew! I was worried when someone mentioned "depopulation" that might mean many will head here but if they have well-off cities closer by, then you get them.

Too late, they are leaving CA in droves. The Golden State has lost it's luster.
Two exceptional reasons are Stanford and Cal, both with very diverse student bodies, with some 40% of them being Asians from the USA as well as from the Far East.
Are you in denial that CA has money problems that could bleed over to the corporates out there ?
Keep raising taxes and quality of life suffers. They all won't pick up and leave overnight but there have been defections out of the state.
The people usually go first as it's easier to just pick up and move. Corporates have to plan.
Many of those Silicon valley titans have established huge outposts outside of CA in recent years, with Denver, Phoenix & SLC among them.
California's ultra-progressive tax code is another major albatross around the neck of the buffoons in Suckramento, as well as Governor Gravy Train & his Moonbeam Express train to nowhere.

I agree. Apple has a development lab in Austin for the mobile devices.
Apple always kept development in CA and usually just opened customer support centers outside of CA.
I was surprised to see development come to Austin. And they've expanded there as well in the past year.
And there is no lack of talent here in Austin for those jobs.
Blizzard, another CA bastion of game development, has expanded their Austin customer service center to include development now as well.
The funny thing, the thing which you'll never hear any of our right wing friends admit to (mostly because they're stupid and don't know what they're talking about), but it has only been die hard conservative towns in red districts which have declared bankruptcy. Yep, none of the liberal areas on the coast have declared bankruptcy, only the crap hole inland red districts have experienced that.
Of course if we go back far enough some coastal areas have declared bankruptcy in the past (like die hard conservative Orange County) but by and large the problem is currently just found in rather undesirable inland areas which are conservative strongholds. Why are those places declaring bankruptcy? Simple, they speculated and lost or rather the city governments heavily subsidized out of state developers who gambled and lost. I'll see if I can find one of my posts from the California subforum which might educated some of the ignorant raving loons who have been posting in this thread.
