The figure I gave of 8092 WAS for the city of Los Angeles. The population density of Los Angeles County is considerably lower: 2420 people per square mile.

The Metro Area, is the populated region as I said, not the underpopulated mountain. There are two different types of area involved. The Metro area, and the wild area.

Just like in New York, they don't include the water between the islands as an example when counting the sq. miles. They count the metro populated areas.

Didn't this guy above just post the same thing? Coincidence?

BINGO.

All the chatter of how UNappealing the weather and landscape of Texas is, should be a clue that California's taxes are so ridiculous, that many companies have been willing to leave the more appealing weather and landscape just to get some relief.

F.Y.I., some other states are currently looking at eliminating their state income taxes. North Carolina is looking at eliminating both income and corporate taxes, after realizing their high corporate tax rate has hurt them over the last 20 years. Texas may soon have more competition.

As far as start-ups, it seems California is losing it's edge - Report: Is California Losing Start-ups to Other States? | Inc.com

It's so bad you keep your business here?

Put your money where your mouth is and move the business to TN? You seem to be in both camps somewhat.

I also have a facility in TX and in TN. I am currently keeping the CA office open for a variety of reasons including allowing the employees to have jobs. I would prefer NOT to lay them off.
