Top-flight Hollywood producer Ryan Kavanaugh said he’s fleeing Los Angeles due to a litany of issues, including crime, high taxes, and homelessness, he admitted in a recent interview.

Kavanaugh—who has produced “The Social Network,” “Hancock,” “Limitless,” and dozens of others—told TheWrap that while he’s a lifelong Los Angeles resident, he’s picking up his family and moving his business headquarters to Florida.
