Oh, but the beach is so far away from Arizona.
Lived in CA in the 80's - helped vote out Rose Bird as state supreme court chief justice.
Have not been back (except for visits) since. I am beginning to think the only way to fix it is martial law.
A salute from a 40 year CA resident who is now is Oregon.
OR? Its as far Left as CA and throughly Democrat-dominated.
The Pacific Coast states all share similar demographics and are called the Left Coast, for good reason.
Another salute from a 40 year California resident who is now in Nevada.
Still here and no plans to leave yet. Understand the frustration in the article though. Happy Monday all!
Gone the way of CA.
Democrats took over Nevadaistan’s legislature in 2016.
Left in 95. Take away statehood and return it to a territory. Property will be cheap once we get rid of illegals and/or stop welfare to non-citizens.
——then a few things fell into place quite unexpectedly -—
Serendipity rules
Still here, too, but we are talking to a realtor. Grandkids in NJ - New JERSEY??? No thanks. Sibs in western Colorado. Moving from So Cal to the NE is out of the frying pan/ into the fire to me. Anyone know good spots up that way??
At some point we will have to acknowledge that Mexico has taken California back.
Before they take the whole country.
Highest taxes. Highest utility rates. Highest cost of living. Corrupt politics. And yes, hard hard left in most of the major cities - moderates have almost zero representation in decisions and are routinely belittled . Used to be very nice place in fifties but destroyed and getting even. worse. Shame! ( Californians who can are leaving. Communist China mostly and other mostly Asian countries are buying the place up )
Your only choices are the Mountain States, Midwest and the South.
The coasts are throughly liberal. Good luck with wherever you decide to live.
with any luck, we will be getting an upgrade from Jeff Flake soon.

The Bush League Republicans who run the AZGOP have already picked McSallycain as the next Amnesty Senator.
Many years ago, I had the fine priviledge to work in the power industry in CA during the Gray Slave-us governorship.
I found it to be a very beautiful place to visit, but the politics really sucked bad even way back then...and that’s putting it mildly.
A fellow Texan and I were turned off by it so bad, we thought about sneaking out under the cover of darkness to the Lone Cyprus at Pebble Beach, cutting the damn thing down and putting up a pole in its place with a nice, big ole Lone Star flag on it. Fortunately, we were too inebriated at the time to actually pull it off. I guess that would have been considered “domestic terrrorism” and we’d probably still be in jail.
Now, I’m retired, but there still ain’t enough wild horses in all of Texas to ever get me to go back. Sad...such a beautiful place yet so full of kooks.
The communists will never leave. It is their stronghold. Their Cuba.
I lived and worked in California for 45 years. Am now happily living in the north woods of Georgia. My kind of work ain’t done here but I am much happier. Been here five years already and I am doing my best to keep Georgia conservative
What’s happened to CA makes me terribly sad. I have never been to the state, but I know the left have ruined a perfectly good place.
And the rest of the country will suffer for their insanity. It’s like having a dysfunctional relative. Like it or not, the rest of the family is going to get sucked into their drama and mess.
My state of Colorado is changing and growing rapidly. The mess that is CA is part of the reason...I have no doubt.
