Hollywood insiders and people who work in the entertainment industry are saying that they fear the city is going to become the next Detroit.

Years ago, movies and TV shows filmed almost everything in Hollywood unless they needed to get specific location shots somewhere else. Today, lots of cities and states are making themselves more competitive for filmmakers and producers so productions are leaving LA for other locations.

The new reboot of ‘Little House on the Prairie’ is not even filming in the United States. They’re shooting it in Canada! The original was shot in California.

Variety reports:

Advocates warn that unless the U.S. responds to foreign subsidies, Hollywood is at risk of becoming Detroit, which has bled jobs as automakers pursued low-wage labor and generous incentives in other states and abroad.

“This is supposed to be the film capital of the world,” said Noelle Stehman, a co-founder of the grassroots group Stay in L.A., at a rally for Raman’s campaign. “It should be the cheapest and easiest place to film. In fact, it is the most cumbersome and the most expensive. That cannot continue. If we don’t do something quickly, this is going to become the next Detroit.”

Mike Miller, vice president of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, was raised in Cleveland. He also sees a parallel. “I watched the demise of steel and rubber and automotive manufacturing as I grew up,” he says. “This is identical in many ways. We have an undeclared trade war that our government is standing by and watching happen.”

For every show like “Baywatch” that shoots in Los Angeles, there’s another reboot that doesn’t. “The Rockford Files,” the 1970s drama about a hard-boiled L.A. detective, will return to NBC next January. It’s still set in L.A., but it’s filming outside Atlanta. “Little House on the Prairie,” another mainstay of the 1970s NBC lineup, was originally filmed in Simi Valley. The version coming to Netflix in July was shot in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Hollywood really has two problems.

The first problem is that other cities and states are making it easier to film there than in Hollywood, where liberal policies have made everything more difficult and more expensive.

The second problem is that Hollywood keeps churning out woke garbage that no one wants to watch.

If they solved these two problems, the entertainment industry in Hollywood would come roaring back. For whatever reason, the people there just can’t see this.
