Welcome home, Peter! :)

And thank you Guardian, for informing me about this so-called conservative renaissance going on in my city.

Spreading homosexuality across the state with the iron fist of corporate enforcement. Our culture crumbles.

Peter, Peter, Peter, you are merely jumping out of the frying and into the fire. L.A., really? How about Texas, of any of the other southern states? If you really want to escape, L.A. is not the escape destination you should be seeking.

Bottom line
Screw Hell A it’s a hell hole
No trees
No nature
Beaches are nice but polluted
Everything there is a giant mall and the people are plastic
Hollyweird and the porn industry corrupts souls

Northern cal is where it’s at

Have to be specific though. Forget San Jose. It sucks too.

Good counties. Marin Sonoma Napa contra costa alameda

Redwood trees. Incredible parks and nature. People are not slimy and fake with fake lips and tits

Liberal as hell. But Nice liberals who are mostly environmentalists

My county. Marin. 91 percent parks. It’s epic

Going with the cub scouts to camp at Dillon beach today. Near Pt Reyes

We don’t lock doors and I leave my car keys on the floor

Of course the company I work for is headquartered in LA

Lotta money there. The weather is good

Ok nuff sed / rant off

There was a recent similar thread on California possibly coming back. While there are headwinds, and it's an uphill battle, things like this story give me hope.

As for Mr Thiel's personal life, I'd rather have him at my barbecue than Paul Ryan or Jeb Bush or any other NeverTrumper.
