Huge Hollywood prop house closing after 40 years

Reuters reports:
Hollywood's second-largest prop house is going out of business with its owner saying he has fallen victim to film and TV production leaving California for other U.S. states that lure producers with tax incentives and fewer restrictions.
There's more:
business been slowing down for years as productions left California for Canada and other states that offered tax credits and eased rules about filming.

"They are also offering really low prices on filming on the streets and filming permits, where California raised the prices last year,"
The California green movement isn't exactly great for business.
