Absolutely agree. I spent ten years in Los Angeles trying to break into Hollywood by writing screenplays, from '02 to '12. Then I left for greener pastures, along with the coffee maker guy. Life is better out here in flyover country.
My daughter has worked in Hollywood for decades as a post-production supervisor & producer and this year she had a very hard time finding another job after her last one with Hulu ended. She finally got another one with a Peacock show which doesn't start until April! I kept telling her years ago and that companies and people were leaving California but she wouldn't believe me. Now it's hitting home unfortunately and being a liberal, she's part of the problem! Another example of Get Woke, Go Broke.
Many productions companies have moved up to Vancouver, due, not only because of the political issue, but also because of the rampant issue of all the homelessness!
Remember when Hollywood was Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, John Wayne? Class, proper diction, elegance, culture, good movies. Hollywood wanted to be inclusive and let the DEI people in, now shocked to get attitudes, violence and cultural decline.
