I lived in CA for 15 years.
Native CA residents are hard to figure out.
Its almost like they just want to all get along while they sit on their multi-millions in real estate.
The riots could make a difference but don’t count on it.
The only thing which would shake CA out of their slumber would be a 50% decrease in their real estate value.
I don’t know if you know this but coastal areas and big cities in Cali are liberal, but inland areas of Cali are more conservative and some areas are very conservative. As a native Californian I am very sick to death of this crap.
Don’t forget, FreeRepublic is also based in California.
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.

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner
Lots of wealthy liberals are section 8 landlords. If the drug dealing, raping, murdering, tattooed thugs go home they lose rental money because rents in the slums go down.
If the rental value goes down the land and building value goes down.
You have got that Exactly right!
Californians are comfortably numb and have no sense of urgency as their state goes down the drain due to debt and taxes.
From Many first hand conversations, property owners conveyed they could careless less as long as their houses increased in value 5% / yr.
Land of fruits, nuts and numb dump Sheeple.

Massive Earthquake of 8.0 or higher could change CA quite drastically, and those real estate values.
CA is another planet to me.
Well that and maybe a 7 or 8+ Richter scale quake.
That drop in real estate happened in 2007ish. It didn’t phase them.
I escaped Mexifornia this year. I felt like i was the only one that noticed the invasion, since most people just accepted it. part is normalcy bias - if you have to live there, accepting it just made your life easier. I didn’t and I was mad all the time. Mad at those accepting it too, But the other part is people waiting to make their escape. After we announced we were learning, people came out of the woodwork to tell us their escape plans, to say they wished they could leave and envied us. I mean, lots of people.
Their feelings will change when they are told they’re no longer welcome in the neighborhood where they own a house. Happened to a guy I met in the hospital who lived in San Pedro in a house he inherited from his mother. They drove past and shot him in the leg with a 22. Said his neighbor who wasban older man told him he should move out, not safe there for him.
I lived there five years. Spouse and I are big Walking Dead tv show fans.
But we couldn’t really get into ‘Fear the Walking Dead.’ She had to keep telling me, “You’re not supposed to root for the zombies!”
I have been here more decades than you.
I tell our young family members to move out for a future.
We have over a Third of all WELFARE in the country here.
We have millions of illegals and their 10 million in our schools each sucking 15k a year out of the budget.
We way over employ and overpay people connected to government employment.
We have 1/4 of a Trillion dollars in unfunded government pension debt.
