The Great California Exodus (New Manhattan Institute Study)
by Tom Gray & Robert Scardamalia
For decades after World War II, California was a destination for Americans in search of a better life. In many people’s minds, it was the state with more jobs, more space, more sunlight, and more opportunity. They voted with their feet, and California grew spectacularly (its population increased by 137 percent between 1960 and 2010). However, this golden age of migration into the state is over. For the past two decades, California has been sending more people to other American states than it receives from them. Since 1990, the state has lost nearly 3.4 million residents through this migration.
This study describes the great ongoing California exodus, using data from the Census, the Internal Revenue Service, the state’s Department of Finance, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and other sources. We map in detail where in California the migrants come from, and where they go when they leave the state. We then analyze the data to determine the likely causes of California’s decline and the lessons that its decline holds for other states. (end of excerpt)
The demographic change that followed shows foreign persons replacing exiting citizens (illegal immigration from South of our border) has not been good for California’s economy, crime rate, schools, healthcare and prison population. We’re broke! Our schools are failing, our credit rating is embarrassing, taxation is the highest and threatening to go higher, thank you liberals, mission accomplished … read the full story here:
Help Keep Chico Clean – Don’t Feed the Panhandlers
by Jack
The bums are out in force, have you noticed? Chico’s like a bum magnet! And these are not old or disabled people, overcome by a run of bad luck! These are more often than not, young, able-bodied people. Some are ex-cons seeking a shortcut in life again, or they’re professional drifters or just petty criminals working the system – begging for spare change when they are not stealing something.
If you go by the Chico Mall the bums have all the exits covered, smiling and waving, holding up their “gimme money” signs. I guess waving is the new gimmick. Because they are all doing it. And then over the freeway bridge by Petco, they are working those corners too, and they’re doing the same act! Good grief… these are healthy young people who could be working! But, they would sooner beg than work. They have smokes with them, typically a dog on a rope. They work in shifts, and they seem to have a well rehearsed routine…this is their career.
You may wonder, why beg when we have have so much free stuff for them already? Because Bunky, in addition to all the free stuff they still need money for drugs and booze. Nobody needs food, they got food. Nobody needs shelter, they got shelter. Nobody needs clothing or shoes…they got first rate hand me downs from a dozen places. When they need a change of clothes they just go get some from any number of places and then throw the old clothes away in a lot or under a bridge where they camp during their non-begging hours.
I was sitting at the stop light on 20th street near the Mall when this young lady rolls down her window and passes a bill to the panhandler. An hour or so later in another area of the downtown I saw another young woman at the stoplight hand a panhandler a hamburger… his sign said he was hungry. He was not hungry, the hamburger was tossed in the dirt! She just bought it to give to him and he takes it then shows his disdain for her kindness by throwing the burger in the dirt!
We’re sick and tired of these bums from far off places coming here looking for a free ride. They get drunk then the cops have to deal with them. They are always stabbin, robbin and stinkin up the town and we’re sick of it and we’re mad at the idiots who give them a financial reason to come here.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH…if you see somebody giving them money tell them what you think about it. Or if you don’t wish to talk, I suppose you could tie a small note on a large brick and toss it through their windshield.
Ramblings on Chico City Council Campaign
1) Some council candidates have talked about protecting the green line. Some have added the gold line. I believe the Blue Line is just as important. That’s the group of men and women who protect us from the non-law abiding folks causing the tension many of us feel walking around downtown and other places. A community that doesn’t feel safe shuts itself inside and isn’t a community at all. Support our public safety officers as strongly as the environment of which they are a part. They’re equally important.
2) Commercial airliners have safety mechanisms built in that warn the pilot prior to a catastrophe (crash). If the City of Chico had such a device it would be blaring: “PULL UP, PULL UP, PULL UP!”
