We've Got a California Problem
April 26, 2022
People are fleeing states like California and New York in droves… What gives? As new residents pile in the neighborhood, Ron piles some dogs on the grill and questions why life in California is becoming unlivable. Seamus explains how restrictive taxes, zoning laws, and other mysterious policies are forcing residents away from once-wonderful states.
