I was a native Californian; born and raised there. I got out of California in 1979 (I am 65 now), and have never looked back. I saw the way California was headed back then, and I bolted. Smartest move I ever made.

Exactly. Same here.

Born in California in '62, got out in '63. Smartest move I ever made.

You are lucky you left, born and raised in LA, Reagan wouldn’t recognize this state anymore, its turned into a wasteland full of liberal loons, illegal aliens, and freeloading Commies..its a real shame, Reagan loved this state I bet he is weeping from heaven..if my family did not leave here I would have left this state a long time ago..it would be nice for once to know what it is like living in a Conservative state, knowing what its like to not be afraid to say “Im a Conservative” not whisper it, but actually say it

Also a native Californian. Born in Burlingame. I didn't escape until 1999. No desire to ever live there again.
