#1 I'll miss Telegraph Av. (don't care about the rest of Berkeley).

#2 "Hey Mark, I just wrote the state of California a check for a zillion dollars. Tell me again why we moved here?"

#3 And despite the governments inelegant gyrations about budget cuts, the state payroll rose 3% in 2011

I think Brown cancelled furlough days

#6 If I were Zuckerberg, I'd more the whole Facebook operation (and the employees, if they wanted to go) OUT of Cali before the IPO.

Ohhh, are they gonna get clipped. Obamacare comes in at 3. something on cap gains. TaxProf had the chart. And if Obama's tax cuts aren't renewed, could go as high as 25% cap gains.

#10 Barbara, Is Zuckerberg opposed to big state intrusions? I thought he was a big time Obama-guy after all. The IPO might be just the fig-leaf needed ot get lots of stories about money and wealth out there to make it appear the economy is better.
