Hear my prayer: From Orange County to Phoenix, a 26 ft. truck is estimated to cost $1,465. The same truck going in the opposite direction is estimated to cost $101.

But the downside is that means you now have some Orange County sewage in Phoenix.
Our prayer should be that they all stay in California. Build a wall at that border too.
The “exodus” just means that the cancer is metastasizing.
There are people moving into LA and Orange County – the homeless ones crapping in the streets. Enjoy!
The devilish details are even more amusing. Low tax Idaho, Montana, and Nevada are increasingly the homes of former Californians. And, a lot of THOSE Californians are retired California public employees. I golfed in Arizona with a retired CHP officer this last February. He called it “Taxifornia”, and claimed that living in the outskirts of Phoenix saved him $10K per year vs living just north of Redding. Boise, Coeur d’alene, and Sandpoint regions are chock full of Californians who pulled up stakes, and very large numbers of them are living well on a Calpers pension. Reno is home to many former life-long Californians, and our museum guide in Carson City a few years back was a retired CalTrans worker. His sidekick, a former CHP officer. Lake Tahoe is a real eye opener, too. All the high dollar lakefront residential properties are on the Nevada lakeshore. Driving around the north end, there is a stark line where the true upscale properties end, right at the Cal-Neva state line.
The same way lots of Quebec government employees live like royalty in Florida in retirement communities with French signs, enjoying their own newspaper (Le Soleil de Floride) and their own branches of Quebec banks.
Oh, it will be a great day when the US military governments of liberated California and Quebec seize the pension funds and use the money to give long-suffering taxpayers real tax relief.
In 1998, my grandmother passed-away (age 93) in Sun City (Phoenix) AZ. I flew to Phoenix, rented a U-Haul truck to bring some of the furnishings of my youth that had tremendous personal value to me. There was a similar exodus (from CA) taking place at that time. I paid a total of $66 for a 20ft box truck … one way … from Phoenix to the SF Bay Area. I was stunned at the absurdly low price. They couldn’t rent that truck to me fast-enough.
BTW … in my uber-wealthy enclave … we cannot FIND enough building contractors, and the price of new construction has spiked-up to approx. $500-600/sq.ft. Go to college to earn a high wage? Rubbish. Get your Contractors license.
jeez kenji, you shoulda charged THEM for getting the rig *back* to the ‘starting point*.
No kidding! But since I thought I’d already hit the lotto of truck rentals … I just signed on the dotted line as fast as I could write.
Oh and BTW … no mileage charge.
Typical liberal locusts. Destroy one area previously built up by makers, then move on to the next area and destroy it.
Phoenix is already Californicated. Leftists took control of council and the mayor’s office in the last election . We are an ‘unofficial’ sanctuary city. Thanks California, couldn’t keep your goddam ruination to yourself…
The big problem is they always seem to take their idiotic ideas with them and ruin where ever they go.
As a U-Haul dealer in Montana, we have seen one customer hire a 26 foot truck as a local contract to drive all the way down to California empty, then all the way back, because it was cheaper than hiring it on a one way rental originating in California. That is taking into account the additional fuel cost to drive down there empty, and the 69 cents per mile charge. I believe the savings was around $1000.
