"Gavin Is Done" - State Farm's ULTIMATUM To California Could End Newsom’s Presidential Hopes

California, my home, is ruined. It’s ruined by incompetent, corrupt people making terrible policies. It’s heartbreaking.

People that never lived in Cali have no idea how amazing it was back in my day. (80s and 90s Bay Area) It really had a special energy and excitement no matter what we went thru. I hate being tribal, but Dems totally ruined it.

My older family tells me there were NO forest fires in the 1970's, 60's, 50's. They also told me these high / hot temperatures are nothing new to California!

I'm so sick of prices going up on EVERYTHING in California 🤬🤬🤬

I’m a Californian all my life and for the life of me I cannot understand why and how Gavin Newsom is still in office when we all cannot deny he’s destroyed California!

I am so tired of all this BS in California!!!!!

I have lived in California my entire 65 years and California used to be a great place to live. I purchased my first house in Huntington Beach when I was 20 for $89k. It was 1500 sq ft. Today that same house with no upgrades other than paint is worth $1.1 million. I purchased several homes, all within Orange County from 1980-2000 for $147k to $325k. Today they are worth. $1.1 mil to 2.2 mil. My property taxes were about 1 to 1.2% of the purchase price. Today, I can’t afford to buy any of my prior houses again and the property taxes have almost doubled on new construction. When I purchase my current house in 2007, my homeowners insurance was $500/month. Today it’s more than doubled. Everything is far more expensive in California and our problems are far worse. Crime has skyrocketed, homelessness has skyrocketed, illegals here have skyrocketed and California has one of the highest gas prices in America because they have the highest gas tax. The major reason California has gone from a great place to live to a place people can’t afford and don’t want to live is because of liberal policies. The media and celebrities have become far more outspoken against conservatives and the things that are right and good. Outspoken about the police, jail and the justice system. Every decision made by politicians and liberals have been bad for California and especially the taxpayers of California. In my city, you see tons of houses and businesses decorated at Christmas, but you rarely see the American flag on homes or businesses, even on the 4th of July! We are no longer a state of patriotic Americans that put our country and the US citizens first. If there was a major military operation such as after 9/11, do you think there would be the same number of people volunteering to sign up for the military? After Pearl Harbor, every available boy from the ages of 16 wanted to fight for this country. They even found a way to join after they were classified as not fit. How many do you think would be willing to fight and die for this country today if we were attacked? It’s not just California, patriotism is a problem throughout the country, with a large blame going to the educators, media and parents. It saddens me that people don’t believe in the ideals which made this country great and, that states like California have become so anti-America. I only hope people wise up and realize the current path is not good for our future.

What I'm most upset about is the people leaving California are bringing their failed ideas and policies to other cities. Colorado has been dealing with this since the early 90's and every year we're getting more and more state legislative bills that are ruining this state.

Newsom 24 BILLION to support 200,000 homeless, and the money is missing. No accountability

I'm a Californian and I don't know anyone who likes Newsome. I have no idea how he was elected ...and survived the recall. His policies is destroying our amazing state.

I bought my house in CA in 1987 for $117,000. It’s now appraised at $1,187,000. 37 years and the cost of housing has jumped that much. It’s just an average 3 bedroom home, 1,178 square feet with a 2 car garage. Nothing extravagant. I don’t see how the younger generation can afford to live here.

We lived in San Diego area for several years, and heard from multiple lifelong California residents how shitty the state has become over the last 20 or so years. Corrupt policies, corrupt politicians and endless regulations and laws that target the middle class have made it almost impossible to live there unless you're making over a six figure income every year with multiple sources of revenue. Glad to be back home in Texas.

Newsom belongs in prison.

The prices have gone up at least 50%. I've had to raise my labor price 50%.I've been in construction for 48yrs, I'm self-employed All thanks to Governor Newsom. He absolutely sucks, god forbid if he gets in as POTUS 😮

I have NO sympathy for California. They even had a chance to recall newsome, and they refused. You voted for it, you got it.

I am a contractor in Texas. Costs have gone up more than 30% over 5 years. Lumber fluctuates, but labor is closely related to food costs. We all know about food costs.

I’m a builder and I call BS on “31% more to rebuild than in 2019”. Folks it’s way over 50% more in labor and materials to build any house than it was pre-Covid…. Idk where they got those numbers but I have been building homes for 2 decades and know the numbers.

The rest of the United States has been subsidizing California’s unsustainably low homeowner insurance rates for DECADES. Thank you State Farm for finally taking a stand. Now please follow through.

Live in Georgia , just got back from CA and the GAS prices omg 5 bucks on average, GA is $315-$340. Two steaks at a grocery store (not large) costs $80!!!! How do people live there ???

As a California home owner, our original insurance company was charging about $750 per year pre pandemic, then went up to $1,600 and then went up again to $6,500 to renew the policy. We have a home owners insurance crisis in California. This is real.
