What I appreciate about Graham the most, is that even though NOW he is very very wealthy, he didn't come from much so he very much went through the entire process of starting somewhere and experiencing many lessons, and now sharing them with us.

Thank you for the notes for shedding all CA DMV related items, I thought I could take my time. I now have a MAY appointment but might have to try to do a walk up, yikes.
PA. Most things don’t require the actual dmv. Online, independent companies attached to the state. When you go to the dmv it’s a ghost town, walk right up. Pre COVID. Moved to Florida. Stupid line. Took 90 minutes for DL. I feel bad for the states where you have to go in for every little thing.
Food for thought: Remember that California versus the other states are the way they are because of their fiscal policy. When people move out from California, they should consider a change to their policy mindset. If people moving out from California want to keep their old ideals, they need to remember that it comes at a very high cost. A large part of these ideals and fiscal policies are driven by the voters. Some would argue that how one votes can impact fiscal policy.
Yep, California has a huge wealth gap issue. As usual, California is just a little ahead of the curve, but as you see more Tesla's and Peloton's pop up in your area, watch out for the wealth gap issue to rear it's head in your neighborhood. You'll see the rich Californian's taking their wealth out of state to avoid the taxes. They'll take their wealth "creation" businesses to your area and enhance the wealth gap. For example, if a wealthy real estate investor leaves LA and heads to, say, NV, they will gradually pull local wealth up to the top. They'll outbid local investors, raise prices, and then rent those properties back to locals at higher than current market prices. In summary, if you hate what you see in California, you might actually hate capitalism. Because what it does, in the end, is push all the wealth to the very top, leaving the vast majority broke and destitute.
Please pay attention to this , it’s very important that there are lots of scammers out there ripping peoples of their money , but Mrs Rita helped me recover all my loss, God will reward you abundantly
Just remember: Don't bring your stupid politics to where you moved so that it doesn't turn into the CA that you had to leave. Said differently, you created the problems in CA with your vote. So either stay and fix it, or leave it with the state you destroyed.
@@dgc0120 People dont learn man. Generally speaking people wont change. Texas is going to go blue in the next few years and within 10-15 texases citys are gonna be just like commiefornia
Pretty sure you're hinting at the fact that they're already working on it right? lol because if you're not then I shall inform for the goodness of informing others who might not be aware. California is working on a law that would allow them to tax you, even if you leave California up to 10yrs after you've left California and this would be retroactive so anyone who has already left would be chased after. Now the odds of that being enforced, I'm not sure what they would have to do because that's insane despotic BS that Commiefornia is trying to push but we're already in a dystopian nightmare where everything fake is pushed as the truth.
Which means that everyone else living in the state of poverty thinks it's the social norm and widely accepted. To actually take the steps to deviate from that norm would indicate to everyone else that you think you're special, don't want to be with them, and oddly enough BAD for not wanting to accept what is normal to "everyone". They will feel butt hurt and may even attack you for it all the while you're just trying to escape the herd mentality of poor people. After everything is said and done, being "that person" who breaks out of the chain of poverty or whatever established matrix system/culture is no easy task.
@Christopher Perry.. And when you become a millionaire, rather than be vengeful towards your family be distant so they'd have to travel afar in order to ask you for help that you won't owe them.

@@GrahamStephan I made several trips to the DMV even on Saturday and they chased me away because I was out of state, than Christmas came along, and guess what no lines, everyone Christmas shopping and there was no line, but that same guy came by and said DMV was not taking out of state people. The next day I was third in line got in, but forgot a piece of paper work and had to come back, I met the guy telling me DMV wasn't taking out of state people and I told him I forgot a piece of paper work from yesterday and he let me in. I made it, sure was cold.

I related to this video big time, I was living in Seattle. I could barely afford a studio apartment, I felt suffocated all the time. The homeless crisis is just awful. So I packed up and moved to Oklahoma City. While I love the lower cost of living, I plan to move to Dallas to fit more of my lifestyle. Honestly uprooting out of a state I grew up in was a culture shock, but it's one of the best decisions I've made. I'm glad you are enjoying the new lifestyle!
@@brinawidmer That's a good point. But one of the complications is moving all the stuff to the other unit, in addition to having to wait for his current tenants to leave. But if he is willing to move all of his stuff to the other unit and the tenants leave naturally it's a good idea. But then again the time it would take to move all the stuff isn't worth his time. lol.

@@Holyshiszle California has been losing more people than gaining in the last 20 years so I don't know about all that. People have only been moving there because of the weather and the famous people, but there's a price limit to that before people start to wise up to the fact that neither of those things is worth the crazy cost of living.
@@GhostofTrufflePast Not sure where you got your information but California has a population of almost 40 million people and has been increasing year after year for at least 10 years. This isn't including undocumented people.
Grew up in vegas. It’s fantastic. Nobody understands how “easy” and cheap it is to live there. The lifestyle is incredible. 15 minutes away from some of the best hotels, casinos and restaurants in the world is a suburban paradise where many people raise families. Working class citizens who mind their own business. No judgment.
Get cactus in the backyard instead of palm trees!! Hawaii is a rainforest so that’s why it looks the way it does.. Las Vegas has already run out of water, so it imports all its water from nearby communities and it wastes so much of it. No need to add more to that by getting palm trees!

Yup! but the real kicker is we don't see any real benefit from the higher taxes. You'd think we would have the cleanest state, maybe with some kind of healthcare, absolutely no homeless on the streets. but nope. we pay more and get less benefits than other places. I plan on leaving this dump within the next few years.
Honestly he probably will get solar and has those new fancy efficient windows. My mother in law has a 2000+sqft house with both of those things & her energy bill is less than $50 even in summer.
The best of both worlds in real estate. Invest in the place with big land value and small houses, live in the place with cheap land value and large houses.
Leaving CA in 2019 was the best decision we've made. The timing was impeccable too. We escaped blackouts, crazy lockdowns, full-time remote learning, to name a few.
@@christopherhutchens8077 not sure if its the norm but I feel like I adopted the I don't care about voting from living in CA and have noticed that voting is huge in every other state I have been to. For me CA was basically food, beaches, traffic, and fires.
@@NgaBalkan Because republicans are better? Both are bad, all politicians are bad, repub or democrat. I oddly cant find a single politician I can confidently say I support 100%.
They probably don't need to. They're gonna have tons of additional income from the property and sales taxes from all the new residents. Or maybe a 1% income tax? I can live with that
@tony They will start taxing when everyone who lives in CA moves to NV and votes in the same types of people (radical leftists) into office that they intend on leaving behind. Its sad really....
Well if more people move, more taxes are being collected in other areas that are taxed. That being if the majority moving there have above living wages.
new developments have tons of subsidies and cost very little for the city. but in 10 or 15 years the city will need to repair everything and find out they have not been collecting taxes.
The republicans kept taxes low in Nevada and now it's barely flipped blue this year due to new residents from California. Democrats raise taxes. Don't ruin one state and move to another and make the same mistakes.
Thank you for your analysis. We live in San Francisco area and have been considering to leave but it's not easy. Cannot wait for your 1 year after analysis to see if you really enjoyed Las Vegas or miss LA.

Hey Graham :) I know it can be awkward to talk about all of your "good deeds" that you're able to do with money, but since you brought up projects and causes that you look forward to supporting, I would be really interested to see a video about your philanthropic views and how you approach it, and the effects you've been able to see from it or look forward to seeing.
We left California 10 years ago for a lot of the same reasons. Every so often we go back for a week to visit family and when we leave it just confirms we made the right decision.
Just please keep your Californian mindset in California. Theres a reason you left, don't bring the opinions you had that affected the government decisions in California when you leave. LEAVE YOUR CALIFORNIA MINDSET IN CALIFORNIA, beyond that cheers!
@@Music4DaSol There's a reason that California was thriving under one of the largest state surpluses under Republican leadership and now that it's been under Democrat control for a few decades, it has one of the largest state deficits in the country. Monetary irresponsibility and bad policies are not sustainable, thus the recent record-breaking exodus.
@@Music4DaSol The mindset of relying on the government to solve all the world's problems, it results in excessive regulation and overreach. Cali is becoming destitute due to ignorant politicians trying to micromanage every aspect of society. This not only costs a shitload of money up front in taxes, but reaps untold amount of damages in terms of lost potential business. People are putting emphasis on voting habits because once a law or regulation is passed, it's very hard to undo.
@@Music4DaSol No, not just Republican. There's 2 kinds of Republicans, the moderate and the conservative. Change mindset to vote Conservative Republican. A moderate Republican is just another democrat.
@@Law19157 that's Dumb. that's why Dems eat Republicans for lunch every election...because they have a big tent. Most people leave California because lack of jobs and/or housing prices.....rarely is it strictly politics. People immigrate or "emigrate" for opportunities or if they are hungry. Also the Republican party was founded in California and it still is the state with the second most Republican votes, so watch your mouth. Clark County isn't the most Conservative place lolololol....you know there's Casino's here right? It's more Libertarian.

It's a bit more complicated than just "dEmOnRaTs bAaaddd". California has plenty of problems, but the profits they bring into the nation carry other, less prosperous states.
@@aloevera3317 "It's a bit more complicated than that". Yes, yes its. However that stereotype does comes from somewhere. I do need to ask, are those "profits" really worth it? Can a state be profitable AND not be the shithole everyone hates?
@@aloevera3317 I'm sorry, it's not more complicated than that. Half of Graham's video was dedicated to ridiculous zoning laws, taxes, and regulations which caused California to become unlivable in. All three of these things are 100% controlled by the government. Don't act like the California government isn't the reason that state is going to hell. Just take a look at Texas. Texas is booming in EVERYTHING - tech, ag, energy, etc. and it still remains the most livable state in the nation. Oh wait, did I mention Texas is DEEP RED? Literally has one of the most extreme right wing governors in office right now with a republican state senate, and EVERYONE is moving there. So yes, it is that simple. Democrats and progressive politics/culture have destroyed California. The only reason Oregon, Washington, and other blue states are surviving is because there remains a strong republican presence culturally and in office to balance out the left's insanity in those states. The day your state has little to no republican representation to balance out democrat insanity, you can kiss your state's ass goodbye.

If only all the Californians leaving to come to this beautiful state don't bring the sh * t politics. Those that don't ACTUALLY realize that the result of LA becoming a sh * t hole is the democratic politics are extremely naive. There's no way you have the highest taxes in the country yet have no money to spend on programs for addiction and homelessness, the roads look like a third-world country, and the disparity between rich and poor there is astronomical. Oddly enough, LA represents all the things the common-man democrat vote against. I see it happening. Used to cruise into work uneventful. Now, I see at least one or two a **hole drivers rushing through traffic in a BMW like their time is more valuable than any other.

As someone living in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where people are really used to living in smaller apartments... that much space for just two people like you have in Vegas seems sooooo excessive, even if it’s cheaper! Not just having to fill all that space with STUFF but also all the energy needed to power all that space. But congrats dude, you have a BEAUTIFUL HOME! 🙌
I left 5 years ago. I DO NOT regret anything about that decision. Where I moved to, a very rural area in a very rural state, I got to know my neighbors better in a few weeks than I got to know my California neighbors in 15 years. As a single older man that, is nice.
Yup. There’s a reason it’s known as Commiefornia. It’s like living in China but in America. Horrific taxes, draconian lockdown laws devoid of science, homeless who have free reign, etc
Fyi that’s the same processor for move from any state to another. Nothing to do with California. If you wanna move from Georgia to Florida. Same process.
@@vicmanthome6605 Nope but I lived in LA for nearly a year in 2016. Can't believe I didn't even mention the horrific traffic and sprawl. Statistically the worst traffic of any city in the world, according to Inrix.

This is how some Californians have in advantage. Their dollar works harder in California. When they move into a state with "proper" income tax and policies their dollar can afford them more opportunity. This is a positive for them but a negative for the natives that live wherever the migration flows.
@@rosethorns1893 Partly true and partly not. Prices are but one way to ration things that are of limited supply (ie. water front homes). But they are not the only force at work. There's also tax policy, zoning rules, laws and regulations. San Francisco has horrible regulations, that basically require you to build low income housing as part of your new development AND very high hurdles to get approved to build anything; won't allow high rises, etc. The end result is that the only way to build a new building that is profitable is to build super luxury units. BUT then you have the issue with low income units (and the politics around gentrification). Prices for beach front will always be more than desert. BUT what's really driving the costs up in CA (to astronomical prices) are the regulations, taxes, zoning, permits, etc.
@@edwinalvarez1619 Gentification comes in multiple forms. If more people start moving to LV then prices will go up. However they will not necessarily increase to CA level. The main issue in CA isn't the number of people that want to live there, but the horrible regulations. If LV has sound policy the. Prices can increase but need not be astronomical. For example, Charlotte and Nashville are major cities but the cost of living is way lower than San Francisco, Chicago or Manhattan.
@@rosethorns1893 I don't disagree :) But that's not gentrification per say, just standard issue human stupidity. I live in the greater Seattle area and the Seattle City Council is run by idiots who purpose (and sometimes pass) crazy laws. I'm actually at a cross roads politically, because if people keep voting for these fools then that means they make up > 51% of the voting population (I know that voter turn out is horrible), which means that this crazy train has no brakes :( If that's the guess it's going to be soon be time to move; and ultimately might have to move up retirement / ex pat...
True but will the cost of living eventually price out locals given their income? It need not go to CA levels but it can go high enough to price someone who makes $30k-$45k I've seen it here in NYC. We seem to be at a crossroads as a nation. We need to rethink what kind of society we want as a nation instead of 50 states doing their own decisions all the time.
Reminder to Californians moving out of state: Voting Democrat is what turned one of the greatest states into a hell hole. Keep that in mind when voting. Don't turn the new state you're moving to into what you are fleeing from.
It's _very_ hard to argue against $400k in annual tax savings alone

Are you basically asking Californians to leave California's ways in California?
Yep, California has a huge wealth gap issue.

You'll see the rich Californian's taking their wealth out of state to avoid the taxes. They'll take their wealth "creation" businesses to your area and enhance the wealth gap. For example, if a wealthy real estate investor leaves LA and heads to, say, NV, they will gradually pull local wealth up to the top. They'll outbid local investors, raise prices, and then rent those properties back to locals at higher than current market prices. In summary, if you hate what you see in California, you might actually hate capitalism. Because what it does, in the end, is push all the wealth to the very top, leaving the vast majority broke and destitute.

Soon enough, California will start and try to find ways to tax everyone that's leaving. Oh... wait...

(or taxes on anything of any value)
* - Void where prohibited. Your mileage and taxation will vary.
Just remember: Don't bring your stupid politics to where you moved so that it doesn't turn into the CA that you had to leave.
Said differently, you created the problems in CA with your vote. So either stay and fix it, or leave it with the state you destroyed.
@@dgc0120 People dont learn man. Generally speaking people wont change. Texas is going to go blue in the next few years and within 10-15 texases citys are gonna be just like commiefornia
Pretty sure you're hinting at the fact that they're already working on it right? lol
because if you're not then I shall inform for the goodness of informing others who might not be aware. California is working on a law that would allow them to tax you, even if you leave California up to 10yrs after you've left California and this would be retroactive so anyone who has already left would be chased after.
Now the odds of that being enforced, I'm not sure what they would have to do because that's insane despotic BS that Commiefornia is trying to push but we're already in a dystopian nightmare where everything fake is pushed as the truth.
@@dgc0120 Yeah... that won't happen. Liberalism is a disease and metal disorder
If you stay in your LA house for more "vacation " time, CA may still go after you for taxes, even that you already moved to NV. Just FYI.

*" every family has a person who breaks the chain of poverty. I hope you will be that person!! "*
Which means that everyone else living in the state of poverty thinks it's the social norm and widely accepted. To actually take the steps to deviate from that norm would indicate to everyone else that you think you're special, don't want to be with them, and oddly enough BAD for not wanting to accept what is normal to "everyone". They will feel butt hurt and may even attack you for it all the while you're just trying to escape the herd mentality of poor people. After everything is said and done, being "that person" who breaks out of the chain of poverty or whatever established matrix system/culture is no easy task.

@tony They will start taxing when everyone who lives in CA moves to NV and votes in the same types of people (radical leftists) into office that they intend on leaving behind. Its sad really....
Well if more people move, more taxes are being collected in other areas that are taxed. That being if the majority moving there have above living wages.
new developments have tons of subsidies and cost very little for the city. but in 10 or 15 years the city will need to repair everything and find out they have not been collecting taxes.
The republicans kept taxes low in Nevada and now it's barely flipped blue this year due to new residents from California. Democrats raise taxes. Don't ruin one state and move to another and make the same mistakes.

@@aloevera3317 I'm sorry, it's not more complicated than that. Half of Graham's video was dedicated to ridiculous zoning laws, taxes, and regulations which caused California to become unlivable in. All three of these things are 100% controlled by the government. Don't act like the California government isn't the reason that state is going to hell. Just take a look at Texas. Texas is booming in EVERYTHING - tech, ag, energy, etc. and it still remains the most livable state in the nation. Oh wait, did I mention Texas is DEEP RED? Literally has one of the most extreme right wing governors in office right now with a republican state senate, and EVERYONE is moving there.
So yes, it is that simple. Democrats and progressive politics/culture have destroyed California. The only reason Oregon, Washington, and other blue states are surviving is because there remains a strong republican presence culturally and in office to balance out the left's insanity in those states. The day your state has little to no republican representation to balance out democrat insanity, you can kiss your state's ass goodbye.

There's no way you have the highest taxes in the country yet have no money to spend on programs for addiction and homelessness, the roads look like a third-world country, and the disparity between rich and poor there is astronomical.

@@ac2395 Europe knows the difference between a shooting range and a school ;)
You're right, of course. I just wish Americans would get smaller houses and make larger cars again! I want a Pontiac Grand Safari station wagon.
@@joshuawilliams2487 I guess “space” is all relative! ;)
I left 5 years ago. I DO NOT regret anything about that decision. Where I moved to, a very rural area in a very rural state, I got to know my neighbors better in a few weeks than I got to know my California neighbors in 15 years. As a single older man that, is nice.
California sounds like a dictatorship with that whole giving up your citizenship thing.
Yup. There’s a reason it’s known as Commiefornia. It’s like living in China but in America. Horrific taxes, draconian lockdown laws devoid of science, homeless who have free reign, etc
@@Frederick0220 do you even live in Los Angeles or California??
Fyi that’s the same processor for move from any state to another. Nothing to do with California. If you wanna move from Georgia to Florida. Same process.
@@vicmanthome6605 Nope but I lived in LA for nearly a year in 2016. Can't believe I didn't even mention the horrific traffic and sprawl. Statistically the worst traffic of any city in the world, according to Inrix.
I'm moving to FL soon, hopefully. Everything is open. No income tax. Beautiful scenery.
i hope your not voting for what you fled...
Keep Florida Red.
Don’t worry. I come from a red state. 100% red. Not too far from FL. Would never vote blue. Not trying to ruin the states I live in 💯
Can't wait to try the hiking around Red Rock!
@@Slimothy Florida a purple state
I want to watch the July-Why-Is-It-130-Degrees vlog 😂
We did exactly the same moving from Silicon Valley to Vegas in August and it's dope! Welcome!
The great thing about being in the military is that I'm so used to picking up and moving every few years. I don't think I could stay put in one place for more than 3-4 years!
I went from Cali to east coast from the military
This is how some Californians have in advantage. Their dollar works harder in California. When they move into a state with "proper" income tax and policies their dollar can afford them more opportunity. This is a positive for them but a negative for the natives that live wherever the migration flows.
@@rosethorns1893 Partly true and partly not. Prices are but one way to ration things that are of limited supply (ie. water front homes). But they are not the only force at work. There's also tax policy, zoning rules, laws and regulations. San Francisco has horrible regulations, that basically require you to build low income housing as part of your new development AND very high hurdles to get approved to build anything; won't allow high rises, etc. The end result is that the only way to build a new building that is profitable is to build super luxury units. BUT then you have the issue with low income units (and the politics around gentrification). Prices for beach front will always be more than desert. BUT what's really driving the costs up in CA (to astronomical prices) are the regulations, taxes, zoning, permits, etc.
Sounds like gentrification to me, California price increase is coming to Las Vegas and other affordable cities.
@@edwinalvarez1619 Gentification comes in multiple forms. If more people start moving to LV then prices will go up. However they will not necessarily increase to CA level. The main issue in CA isn't the number of people that want to live there, but the horrible regulations. If LV has sound policy the. Prices can increase but need not be astronomical.
For example, Charlotte and Nashville are major cities but the cost of living is way lower than San Francisco, Chicago or Manhattan.
@@rosethorns1893 I don't disagree :) But that's not gentrification per say, just standard issue human stupidity. I live in the greater Seattle area and the Seattle City Council is run by idiots who purpose (and sometimes pass) crazy laws.
I'm actually at a cross roads politically, because if people keep voting for these fools then that means they make up > 51% of the voting population (I know that voter turn out is horrible), which means that this crazy train has no brakes :( If that's the guess it's going to be soon be time to move; and ultimately might have to move up retirement / ex pat...
True but will the cost of living eventually price out locals given their income? It need not go to CA levels but it can go high enough to price someone who makes $30k-$45k I've seen it here in NYC. We seem to be at a crossroads as a nation. We need to rethink what kind of society we want as a nation instead of 50 states doing their own decisions all the time.
Graham who buys 3 meals a month really is talking about food being cheaper lmao
I did the same, moved from LA to Vegas years ago. Been great up until the virus hit our economy. Hopefully comes back quickly, need it.

"I know I haven't experienced everything in Vegas yet" - like the summer!
Plus actual everyday traffic. This is COVID lack-of traffic right now.
Jesus that’s one thing, that place gets hot as hell in the summer, atleast last time I went lmao
@@SuMMeRFLi5 its nothing compared to LA though
Reminder to Californians moving out of state: Voting Democrat is what turned one of the greatest states into a hell hole. Keep that in mind when voting. Don't turn the new state you're moving to into what you are fleeing from.
💯
Interesting how hard Cali makes it to leave. Almost like they know its coming.
What he experienced is what everyone who moves to a new state experiences. Duh, Graham!
bro I love your transparency and articulation of complex subjects.
