Maybe you should go educate yourself about what Liberalism is before appointing yourself the racism police on Hackernews.
I'm a liberal and I've said I prefer not having more racists in California with illiberal sentiment. That is the opposite of racist.
There is a long history of America enforcing white racial integrity which you seem to be naive to. As a native Californian I think it's fair to be weary.
I stand by not wanting more transplants in my state and it's not just me.
I hate racists too which is why I prefer not having them in my state.
Do you think it's really all about taxes? It's not.
The prevailing rhetoric of California being "bad" is mostly political and has racist anti-liberal roots.
By shutting down counter views you're allowing those racist viewpoints to prosper.
And by the way, none of your rhetoric counters what is historical fact.
The plurality of California are not Hispanic by pure accident.
Lastly, it should be possible to have a rational discussion about demographics on this site without people over reacting and name calling.
California indigenous who settled and mestizos who colonized share the same haplogroup d dna.
They are the same people.
And for what it's worth the massive anglo/white immigration into California has been tantamount to ethnic replacement - not just in California but all over this continent.
So excuse me if I don't cry a river over fewer transplants.
This is the type of ignorance I'm talking about.
The first people to colonize California were mestizo and mulato - generations after the conquistadores in Mexico.
California is our state.
DeFi is being able to trade unregulated equities or lend on their collateral on decentralized exchanges with transactions guaranteed by code.
In other words, it's for degens that think avoiding taxes on shitcoin trading is peak crypto.
There are other interesting things on blockchains that can be done outside of decentralized finance. But trading shitcoins is what people are getting off on right now.
It reminds me of how porn is almost always first in new technology adoption.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And maybe America and certainly California don't need half the country moving to just one state.
Toyota for example is set to introduce prototypes with solid state batteries in 2021.
Most consumers will opt for their familiar and reliable Camry that happens to run on batteries.
Tesla will need something new to entice consumers. But, I just don't see much more innovation outside battery tech happening.
In the coming years there will be so much competition in this space.
And then you have Elon snubbing California, one of the largest consumer markets in the space.
I'd short.
We'd sooner install our own state digital currency before allowing dollar billionaires to bully us.
"Reality has a way of asserting itself."
Nobody likes taxes and if you can either avoid them or recoup them through subsidies it makes you "smart."
Where is the evidence for this?
Effectively, Elon has avoided future California capital gains taxes by moving. Those are the facts of his move.
Personally, I would rather pay a few points extra on capital gains and income taxes to avoid Texas.
Just look at what the Texas AG is doing right now:

And those at higher locations will be more costly because they'd be both desirable and scarce.
If your theory were true all homes would be priced on some square footage price constant. They're not.
We don't take home values from the Detroit market, Beverly Hills market and San Antonio market to price a house in New York.
Real estate is deflationary because each asset is unique - like fine art or a 1 in millions baseball card misprint.
Normally, real estate markets are tracked in isolation.
> the price of real estate in the US has not changed.
That's just ludicrous.
Companies are for the benefit of people.
When companies become a detriment to public health and wellbeing they need to be regulated.
