The earth is rumbling. Perhaps the day is not far off.
I always sang it as “Avondale”. LAFB at the time.
Not soon enough will the golden handcuffs be gone and so will we.
LA SUCKS
other than the weather
The gay bay is also commie lib
But it’s BEAUTIFUL and many folks here are really nice
We have redwood forests. Foggy misty hills. Gorgeous seascapes
I’m surrounded on three sides by incredible mountains
loma alta. Mt Tamal país. White hill
We don’t lock our doors
My kids have been able to cruise town since age 6 alone
We have NICE folks here and nobody even cares about politics
My WATER district has SEVEN reservoirs that are 60-200000 acre feet and are always full (mmwd the oldest in CA)
SF. liberal hell hole
LA IS A TOTAL COMLLETE HELL HOLE WHERE EVERYTHING IS FAKE AND THERE NO NATURE
Lo
I hate California and cannot wait to leave this commie cesspool behind. One of these days retirement will save me.
My inlaws just sold their house in Thousand Oaks, CA...in 3 days. 800k for a 1200 sq ft house. Now they will retire in CDA, Idaho area. Recent gun grabs and single payer were straws that broke their back.
Nope. Arkansas is full. Chiggers, copperheads, cotton mouth snakes, ticks, kudzu, rednecks, and the Clintons....nothing good here.
Yep. On the positive side, they're right there near the coast. Makes it easier to drive them into the sea.
The San Andreas may do it for us.
Very good. We left CA in 2006... Reading this, I remember sitting so many evenings and so many hours in the ‘70’s discussing the state of “everything” with neighbors at the kitchen tables over coffee. It dawned on me just now that we weren’t complaining about CA as much as we were complaining about the state of the country. Coming out of the sixties, where were we going? Were the hippies we saw parading in the streets, while others burned down cities going to be the ones in charge in a few years? We had no idea.
By the time we were ready to leave - retire - things had reached the point of no return as we saw it. So sad as I truly did love CA and I wasn’t even a native. My husband was but I had moved there when I was 21 from NY State. Had no desire to go back there...
If it weren’t for being too old to ever consider returning, I would in a heart beat if not for that...when as the author said it gets turned around. The county we lived in for years (OC) went for Hillary in 2012 and that was unbelievable.
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.
One of our younger adult relatives moved to and lived in the Portland, Oregone area for 28 years. He is an independent and basically does not care for either major party.
He said that Portland even 20 years ago had become basically a Godless Hate America communist outpost. So, he came back here about 12 years ago and has done very well job wise and financially.
Most of his friends, former bosses and other good workers like himself have left Portland and other liberal Oregon cities. The first two summers, he went back to Portland to visit. As noted, his friends had started leaving Portland.
On his last trip back to Portland, 10 summers ago a bum broke into the back of his Bronco and was sleeping there. The Portland police refused to come out and told him not to hurt nor disturb the bum. He left that day and returned and hasn’t been back.
The one good thing about Oregone was the ability to carry a concealed weapon. He has told us that probably saved him several times as people tried to confront him and take his bike away. He had a job where he worked until about 1 am. Even the so called nice areas became high risk areas at that time.
Nope. The commie libs keep expanding their Evil Empire. Now I know how the Indians felt when they were pushed onto the reservations white men did not want. I was planning to move from Sacramento to Virginia Beach in 2 years, but now the Commonwealth of Virginia has gone solidly commie lib after years of flooding it with immigrants.
If 5 million conservatives would move to Virginia with me, we could save it.
I know that will never happen. Now I am looking at Mt. Pleasant SC, Orange Beach AL, and Farragut TN as possible retirement cities. Iam still considering how to avoid the crime in North Myrtle Beach.
Hard to get a feel for the area you’re talking about. Where - in any town/city, CA or otherwise - can kids as young as 6 cruise alone around town? Where you don’t lock your doors?
The Border was drawn in 1891 and by that time there had grown up a unique border culture by a melding of what had been isolates with intermarriage.
That is what we used to be. Hybrid vigor built Tucson. Not just Anglos although they became part of the mix.
Then came the Sixties and Tucson and the whole area fell prey to MECHA and La Raza forces which divide and conquer.
And now? Adios that vigorous and joyful culture. Hello hatred and revisionist history and ignorant Leftists.
There are some great towns in upstate New York-—many VERY conservative———perhaps this will help.

SoCal born and raised. Not a better place to be a kid. Left for Oregon in 1986 - southern Oregon Coast. Left for Texas in 2001 and recently moved to Arkansas. There are still decent places for a conservative to live, but Cali is lost.
I was born in Cali, and spent close to half a century there. i had enough of the rot and liberal craziness in 2005, and moved to Texas.
I haven’t been home sick a single day, because my California was gone long before I left.
Illegals are not buying the 1-3 million $ homes in Northern California.
The buyers are Chicomcapitalists/, Euro Trash, Former LA/Follywood thugs, Nyers and people from Houston.
I lived in San Francisco for work, from 2000 to 2008. Here is how it would go getting new parks in the city.
Worers tax themselves for a beautiful new park, or courtyard, or strip of green space with either swings and gyms for kids, or fountains and statues for adults.
The day a new ark ould open, the homeless would start setting up tents or sleeping bags. Within weeks, there would be so many homeless scattering needles and litter and defecating everywhere that the hard orking taxpayers who funded the new places were sickened to use them while they were afraid to let teir children use them.
I saw this first hand over and over again. A complete waste of millions in taxes.
What a disaster.
WTH?
Do we just run until there is no where to go and the genocide begins?
I don’t understand the virtue of surrender.
