Will Californians Who Can’t Easily Buy Underwear Move To Utah?

Retailers Respond to Shoplifting with Locked Cases 

Stores in California have seen an increase in theft in the last few years. It may be in part to Proposition 47 that says a person won’t be prosecuted for taking less than $950 worth of merchandise. This passed in 2014. 

Stores have closed in high crime areas and others have responded by locking up items that are stolen the most. This isn’t just in California, here in Utah electronics are often behind glass. The home improvement stores place wire and sometimes power tools in a place that requires help from an employee. 

Recently, there have been stories out of California that show Walmart and Target stores that not only have cosmetics and electronics in locked displays, but now underwear is also in these cases. It requires help from an employee to get a pair of socks. 

Utah is One Place People in California are Moving To 

Many residents of the golden state have become fed up with the cost of living and these other problems and are moving from the state. Because of Utah’s favorable economy, many are moving here. Not being able to easily buy underwear can only help to encourage more residents to move.

I’m not complaining. I like the people in my neighborhood that have moved in from California. It just seems a shame that they felt they had to leave. I can’t blame them though. I would not want to wait for someone with a key so I could buy some boxer shorts.
