For the same reason they’ve hated Michigan for so long. The difference is that we’re actually trying to fix Michigan.

I’m a Californian, but the criticisms are quite valid. If my wife’s and my jobs were not geographically tied to this place, particularly hers, I doubt we would be here. (A conservative-leaning suburb of Austin seems appealing, or maybe Savannah or Charleston, SC.)

If Orange County, San Diego County, and the Inland Empire broke away to form a 51st state, that would be one nice 51st.

Im a Californian, Me too. The state has really fallen down. Sad to say. The left has just about completed its death-grip on our legislature and it is anti-business and getting more anti-family every day. Sad, because I really love this state. Our lives are wrapped up here or we might be moving too.

I dont hate them, but they do seem to be liberal freaks.
Yeah, why do liberals always want to use the word "hate" just because someone chooses to stay as far away from them as possible?

Liberal control has destroyed this once great state.
It should be a lesson to all the other states out there that liberal give-aways don’t work. They just created more dependency and bankrupted the state.

While I believe that the Statistics and reasons for dislike of California are actually more serious (worse) than the poll indicates, I would like to make one point:
There are really two California's.
The Nine San Francisco Bay Area counties, LA county, Sacramento metropolitan area, and the coastal hippie dopers clustered along the higher North state coastline are one California, a very sick and destructive entity.
The rural agricultural and husbandry California is the other.
The rural Californians are, for the large part, normal people at the mercy of the urban Fascists, and there is no mercy.
Fascist California should be classified as a biological weapon of mass destruction, the description fits.

I did 6 years in silicon valley and got out. My daughter just moved to Savannah—nice culture with lots of historical sites. Nice in winter but potentially uncomfortably hot in summer.
Austin is the liberal armpit of texas. Don’t go there.
