Leaving California: What’s the best state to move to in 2023?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:14:38 GMT

During the past two years, 1.6 million Californians left for other states.I figured they might want some help choosing a new place to live. So, I embarked on my “Leaving California” voyage — seven columns ranking the potential of other states for ex-Californian wannabes.My trusty spreadsheet examined stats on state economies, demographics, health, climate and politics to weigh appropriate landing spots. The 49 other states were graded for costs, wellness, jobs, fun, culture and safety. And just to make sure I didn’t goof, other “best state” rankings also were reviewed.What did I learn? When those seven scorecards were combined, the top state for an exiting Californian was New Hampshire. It scored three, top-five grades among the seven rankings.Next on my scorecard for a highly compatible California exit were Utah, Minnesota, Utah, Idaho, and Washington.At the other end of this spectrum, the top state to avoid was Mississippi. It had four grades in the bottom five. The next lowest we...

Too long and too expensing: PG&E’s plan to bury power lines and prevent wildfires faces opposition

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:14:38 GMT

By ADAM BEAM | Associated PressVACAVILLE — Pacific Gas & Electric — one of the nation’s largest utilities whose equipment has sparked some of California’s deadliest wildfires — wants to bury power lines in some of its most at-risk areas to prevent destructive blazes like the 2018 Paradise fire that killed 85 people.But state regulators are balking at the utility’s plan because it would take too long and cost $5.9 billion. The company’s customers — who already have some of the highest rates in the country — would have to pay for it.Regulators want PG&E to put a protective cover over many of its overhead power lines instead of burying them. The cover approach is cheaper, but riskier. PG&E says burying a power line reduces the chance it will start a wildfire by 99% because it can’t be blown down by wind storms. The protective cover, which would better insulate the power line should it fall to the ground, would reduce that chance by 62%.“We’re not going to live with 35% risk...

Stock market today: Tech pulls Wall Street lower on fears about the downside of a too-strong economy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:14:38 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is slipping Tuesday following the latest signal the U.S. economy may still be too strong for the Federal Reserve’s liking.The S&P 500 was 0.6% lower in early trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 64 points, or 0.2%, as of 9:40 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 1.1% lower.Financial markets have been shaky in recent weeks due to worries about war in the Middle East and its potential impact on oil prices. But those worries have receded a bit to put the focus back on what usually drives the stock market’s long-term movements: where interest rates and corporate profits are heading.A report Tuesday morning raised worries that the Federal Reserve may feel pressure to keep interest rates high. Such a move could help bring down inflation, but it would also knock down prices for stocks and other investments at the same time.The report showed that shoppers spent more at U.S. retailers last month than economists expected.
