WalMart Rant

[notabitail]

I used to live in California. Left about 16+ years ago, never looked back. Lived in the dark, never ran A/C, still had ridiculous electric bills, military family with 3 kids just trying to get by. California is SO broken. I have paid for others as well on occasion, sometimes it's hard to do without embarrassing or humiliating them (unintentionally). One of the first things I heard when I moved to Florida was "Welcome to the free world." It's tough for people everywhere right now, some places are tougher than others. All we can do is try to be part of the light and not part of the darkness, however we are able.

Which part of CA?

I come from SoCal. The Parents have said that it's actually more expensive over here (very far west Texas) compared to California. Property taxes keep going up.

The property tax in California is ridiculous. It doesn't help that the governor made a law that charges people a fine for moving out of the state of California. Talk about a rant being required

Oh boy. Guess you gotta do something to keep them in there.

I lived in Temecula. Then we bought property in East Texas on Lake Palestine. Second year property taxes soared. No protections from any kind of increase they want to do. Put that on the market and moved to Florida. Been here since, no plans to leave.

When was that fine put in place? That's absurd.

My parents bought our house in the early 2000s. Tax barely went up according to them, at least for our house.

That got implemented a couple of years ago. It was when we were dealing with so many wildfires caused by humans, the electric company, thunderstorms causing lightning strikes and severe drought.

I looked it up and it doesn't look like they have a tax or fine for leaving the state.
