Yesterday Deadline<\/a> posted an article about The Daily Wire<\/a>, the conservative media company started by Ben Shapiro<\/a>, Jeremy Boreing<\/a> and Caleb Robinson. The Daily Wire, founded in 2015, has always been based in California.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Daily Wire<\/strong><\/a>, the conservative media company started by Ben Shapiro<\/a>, Jeremy Boreing<\/a> and Caleb Robinson, plans to move its headquarters from Los Angeles to Nashville.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boreing said that the move was being made due to a declining quality of life in the city, including high housing costs and homelessness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The publisher\u2019s 75 employees based in Los Angeles are being given until Oct. 1 to decide whether to make the move, Boreing said. He said that it looked like about 80% would make the move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dream of California and the weather were enough to draw us all here and keep us here, even when it was hard,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it\u2019s hubris to think you can keep making it worse and worse for people and that somehow the idea of temperate winters will be enough to make them stay forever.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said that he plans to move in November, and much of the staff will follow after that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cL.A. benefits from the fact that, while it leans left, it draws individualists out to find their fame and seek their fortunes. They\u2019re an ornery bunch. But they aren\u2019t so ornery that this out of control government can\u2019t break them.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said that they considered moving to Texas, but chose Nashville because it \u201coffers the creative talent we need to keep growing the business.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were shocked by the reception when we announced the move,\u201d Boreing said. \u201cBut, of course, our employees see all of the same challenges we see and it\u2019s even harder for them to afford this place.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

California used to be ‘the place to live,’ but due to bad governance, it has become a haven for homeless people and drug addicts. The cost of living there has gone through the roof as a result of high housing costs, high taxes, and over-regulation. There is still hope for California to return to normal, but it would take a voting population that wanted to correct the errors of the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
