Since California now has a super majority in the Assembly/Senate and can and will legislate any tax or thing their little Socialist hearts desire, we are now committed to leaving. We will be part of the exodus from the Socialist Republic of California. It's going to be a historical migration within our Nation, if not already.
Since we are both Conservatives, we won't be bringing any of the Liberal/Socialist ideals with us and would make good neighbors.
The CITY of Dallas is Lefty.
But the farther away you get from Dallas, especially North the more conservative it is.
Yes.
The part I wrote about North Idaho being filled up with ex-Californians is true. Probably 75% of the people I meet in North ID have fled CA in the past 20 or 30 years and it is accelerating.
My comment was snarky as in “Stay away, we don’t need more people.” But hard core conservatives are most welcome in ID and will feel very welcomed by the great people there. Fortunately, ID attracts the best Californians.
Just be sure to take the CA plates off your car as soon as you arrive.
Specifically, CDA, ID, Sandpoint, ID, Dubois, WY, Boulder, CO, Denver, CO, Walker River area of NV etc.
Don’t come to Oregon.
We used to be conservative but now both chambers are controlled by supermajorities and Kate Brown and the Dems can pass any tax they want and enact any gun control measures they want.
Several of my friends are moving to Idaho, Wyoming or Montana, the others all wish they were moving.
Oregon is a bad place to live now.

We’re near Amarillo. You can look at the NOAA website to get average climate information. But, our weather is seldom average here. Elevation is 3,600 feet. It can get pretty cold as well as pretty darn hot. Average snowfall per year is about a foot and a half but last winter we received no snow whatsoever. I chuckle when I hear a weatherman say we are x degrees above or below where “we should be”. We’re always where we should be it’s just seldom the average. We have plenty of mosquitoes in some places and during some times during the summer. But again, some years we have very few. We also have a few tornadoes to contend with and an occasional blizzard. There’s also rattlesnakes. I shot 2 last year but had not seen one in the previous 10 years. Also, there are houses here in the $900k range. We live in a gated community south of town on a small lake. It’s a very conservative area. There were no counties in the Texas panhandle and in Oklahoma that voted for Obama.
This thread is very depressing in one particular way — thirty or forty years ago, such a discussion would never have happened. We were ONE country with shared values and a shared heritage whether you were a newly landed immigrant or a sixth generation American. Nobody ever considered their potential destination based on the politics of where they were leaving and where they were headed.
This just shows how much the leftists have fractured our once normal, beautiful country.
Yet Jackson County (Medford) voted down their firearms protection measure!
I used to work at Ski Schweitzer, I loved that job!
I did logging and construction work in the summer and security at Schweitzer in the winter.
I still have the Ski Schweitzer jacket they gave me, although I don’t fit in it anymore!
I loved living in North Idaho.
My property taxes went down because I was a veteran. I went from over 7k a year down to 5500. I lived on Bitters between 1604 and Huebner.
Alaska. But if you want to live in Canada, try British Columbia.
Good to hear!
1977 & 1978 were the coldest winters in the USA probably in the last 100 years. That was when Buffalo had the Blizzard of 77 with 3’ of snow. Buffalo recorded over 200” of snow for the season. I think Syracuse had over 300” that year. The next year Boston had a blizzard where thousands of cars were abandoned on the 128 & 495 interstates. That was the year TIME magazine came out with cover: Are we going into another ICE AGE.
and then everybody started driving SUVs and we caused global warming(Oye Vey)
“Preferably Texas”
There might be a tax advantage as well...
Here’s a climate tip:
Look at a map, go to the extreme west side of the Gulf of Mexico and draw a straight line from north to south at that extreme western side of the Gulf of Mexico. Pick a place somewhere on the west side of that line.
Why?
Because the weather will be considerably dryer on the western side of that. All that humidity and the storms and everything else that the East gets in the an Tennessee, GAMAL, NC, SC VA... all comes out of the Gulf. If you stay west delineation described above... it’s a little dryer and a little less turbulent during certain times of the year.
Preferably Mohave County, AZ where we still obey the laws!!
Wherever you do end up going, leave CA in your rear-view mirror. Too many are moving here and bringing their craptastic politics with them
We moved to Idaho 2 years ago & love it. People are friendly & (so far) the gov’t is sane. Of course, we just did just pass Medicaid expansion. The state is booming, & unfortunately lefties are moving in. We need more conservatives to come & help combat them.
You’re right!
Its been called California for the poor man.
Good description of what happens here in TN. The precipitation comes up from the Gulf through LA and takes a gradual easterly turn, sort of like a big river flowing through the air.
