More blue voters moving to red states, looks like this operation serves them many purposes.
OR - Could be red voters who were tied there til this happened, which also serves their purpose.
Maybe, but given the demographics of the areas affected, Id imagine the odd of the majority being blue voters is better.
I heard that the registration rate was something around 70-80% registered democrat in that area. Not exactly a bastion of conservatism. Still didn't deserve this but nonetheless, not many bluer areas for those people to move to.
They would NOT survive in Louisiana lol.
Different shade of red into a non shithole state dilutes the new state and is a net degradation of the once non shithole state.
No offense to red Cali people…it’s simply the nature of the situation. Nature is nature.
A lot of angry displaced people are going to be bringing all of their problems with them no matter where they go. On the one hand, imagine having your perfect little piece of paradise totally destroyed and all your belongings turned to ash - yet on the other hand, you already got your perfect piece of paradise, and the new neighbors move in ....
Knowing Hollywood - there will be books, there will be movies ...
Coming to a town near you...
Some would rather have the Haitians
I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about this. His SIL and her husband lost their home in the,Santa Rosa fire in 2016. They were in their early 60s and he pointed out, they couldn't wait 3-5 years for everything to sort out to rebuild. They took the insurance money and just started over buying a new house. But the losses here are 10x that of 2017.
Orange County is Red. Hmmmm https://voiceofoc.org/2025/01/huntington-beach-sues-california-over-sanctuary-laws/
feature not a flaw . . .
how many of those empty lots will ever have a single family home again?
Probably wise, since it's all extremely toxic now
I'm SHOCKED 😳.
/s lol
Sad.
Realistically, they'll do neither. There's people affected by fires in california from a decade ago that STILL don't have a home. They just signed up for government programs and live in government housing somewhere else in the state.
The people with money will go where they want (IE, the celebrities will stay there because they love the pedophile craphole and the rich business people will go where they want), but the average joe, liberal or conservative, has much fewer options.
Most people can't just pick up and move at the drop of a hat, ESPECIALLY after losing everything. All the stories you hear about liberals moving to some other state and overbidding on houses is because they were able to sell their massively overpriced coastal house in california which gave them the budget to do so.
These people can't do that. They have nothing, so the only thing they can rely on is any savings, assuming they have any. And thats gonna be drained pretty quickly on temp housing (hotels and the like) while they try to figure out WHAT to do.
It's kind of sad, but realistically, these people are probably gonna stay in california, but they're gonna end up in some craphole slum somewhere because it's they're only option as far as rent goes (whether its subsidized or not), because they probably DO still have jobs there, and it's not like they can go job hunting across the country without a means to actually travel to said job.
I highly doubt the majority will move to orange county either, it's one of the wealthiest (and most expensive) counties in the country. Even more so than LA county.
Besides, anyone who believes the words of a "celebrity realtor" is a moron anyway. This guy knows about as much as doorknob when it comes to normal real estate. He exclusively deals in $10 million+ celebrity houses in "exclusive" neighborhoods. They might sell one or two dozen houses a year, instead of the hundreds or thousands a normal realtor in southern california would.
TL;DR: This is a load of crap, and this fool doesn't know what he's talking about
