Californians leaving for Nevada. Cheaper and happier

Revelations 18:23:’For the merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.’

Important Takeaways:

  • Californians are pouring into Nevada. Not everyone is happy about it
  • California residents and companies have poured into northern Nevada since Tesla began building its battery pack factory in a business park outside Reno in 2014.
  • In the last three years, the pandemic pushed another wave of Californians into northern Nevada. Here, they can retire or work from home or the ski slopes while keeping close ties to the San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles
  • The migrants are seeking to re-create a California lifestyle — a technology hub with comfortable communities, economic growth and mountain views — without California’s problems.
  • More than 85,000 people traded California driver’s licenses for Nevada licenses in 2021 and 2022
  • But Californians have found their state’s troubles here too. Streets in northern Nevada are becoming congested; city services, strained. Locals are getting priced out of houses and apartments by Californians who can pay higher rents or drop larger down payments. Nevadans are struggling with homelessness and drug addiction; lines for food and housing assistance are growing. The state’s public schools record some of the lowest standardized test scores in the country.

Palisades Tahoe

Luke 21:25-26 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

  • “The winds were ripping this morning,” meteorologist Justin Collins with weather service’s Reno office told SFGATE over the phone.
  • Collins reported that gusts were hitting around 120 mph on the peaks around Tahoe Basin, maxing out at a fearsome 150 mph at Tahoe Palisades near Highway 89.
  • A backcountry avalanche warning has also been implemented in the region — between Highway 49 to the north and Highway 4 to the south
