High housing prices are only just one of the many reasons American citizens are moving away from California.

California real estate has been much higher than the rest of the country...for the last 50 years. There's this thing called demand...

But in recent years, there is another factor driving up real estate and rent prices across many other areas of the country: Big investment firms buying up the market. That isn't a California issue. That is unconstrained capitalism at work.

No doubt ... “blue” states tend to be less fiscally stable. The massive over spending of Federal government is absolutely effecting the entire country ... yet they (both parties) don't do much to stop it .... they just keep printing money and putting more debt on the tax payers.

Those “unstable” states are the reason we can afford things like Mississippi.

It used to be... I trusted the news until just a few years ago (2015 to be exact).
So you trusted them until they started heavily criticizing the guy you liked?

Maybe we should consider trimming the fat. How much do you think we could get for it?
