I’ a native Californian and with the exception of 26 months in the RVN I’ve lived here my entire life.
I was born in San Franshitsco and I can tell you right now that the entire state has become a third world shithole since the democrats took over.
The area I live in is pretty conservative (80% Trump voters) and very, VERY rural, were pretty safe here.
Plus the fact that about 95% of us are heavily armed.
Thanks for being honest. I too am a native Californian. 50 years born and raised in Southern California. We fled after seeing the writing on the wall in 2009 to North Dallas. We had a condo in Old Town Orange for awhile but after seeing more and more homeless and crime in the Old Town Orange area.....I sold the condo and cut all ties. I was approached and threatened by a homeless meth’d out crazy while I was sitting at a red light on my Motorcycle on Chapman Ave in Orange.
That was the last straw.......
We do go back on occasion to visit family and it’s becoming more and more dangerous. We have to go there on business at least a couple of times a year.....and it’s not safe and you can feel it no matter where you go in Southern Cal.
At least you are in rural California which has millions of good decent conservative citizens. I feel sorry for you and them though....California is as you say it is......thanks.
