Go south, young man!
(My new American Thinker post)
As I recall, there was a slogan many years ago urging “Go west, young man.” The story behind the phrase is a bit complicated but the idea was to go west and seek a better life. And many people went west to seek land, fortune, gold and, generally, a better future.
The story has a new chapter, as my late father used to say. People are moving again and they are going to Mexico, according to a story on Daily Caller:
Now that Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and his cronies have ruined their state and inflation is crushing households, thousands of Californians are reversing the typical pattern and moving to Mexico.
Many of the emigres count on the fact that their salaries from the United States enable them to afford much more South of the border.
“I would say at least half are coming down from California,” Darrell Graham of Baja123 Real Estate Group told CNBC. “Suddenly the cost of taxes, the crime rates, the politics, all the things that people are unhappy with in California are wanting to come down to Mexico.”
“California continuously ranks high as one of the country’s most expensive states to live in,” CNBC noted. “The median asking price for a home in California is about $797,470 — only 25% of the state’s households could afford that in the fourth quarter of 2021.”
“Monthly rent in Mexico can average as little as $430 per month, while rents can average as high as $1,500 north of the border in San Diego,” The Daily Mail pointed out.
So, there you have it. Economic refugees going to Mexico rather than Texas?
I guess that these must be people who can work from home in Mexico and collect their salary in US dollars. I’ve met some people in Mexico City who work in financial services and do everything by phone or internet.
In the meantime, further confirmation that the Golden State is in decline and people want out.

A word about June 15
We remember June 15:
We remember former New York Governor Mario Cuomo who was born on this day in 1932. He died in 2015.
We remember singer songwriter Harry Nilson who was born in New York City on this day in 1941 and died in 1994. He was 52 and died from heart complications. His songs were just great.
We remember Dusty Baker who was born on this day in 1949 in Riverside, California. He was a great baseball player and now manager.
On this day in 1938, Johnny Vander Meer became the only pitcher in baseball history to throw two back-to-back no-hitters. Vander Meer went on to play 13 seasons with a 119-121 record.
"The chapel of love" is one of the most popular songs ever recorded. It was # 1 this week in 1964. It was also the only big hit by The Dixie Cups.

Happy # 73 Dusty Baker, great player and manager
Baker is a rare breed: a very good player who became a very good manager.
As a player, we remember his bat: .278 average, 242 HR, 1,013 RBI, 1,981 hits over 2,039 games with the Braves, Dodgers and a bit with the A's at the end. He played with the LA Dodgers in their 1977-81 championship run.
As a manager, he's won over 2,000 games, the 2002 NL pennant with Giants, the 2021 AL pennant with Astros and several division titles with the Cubs, Reds, Nationals.
Great player and manager.
