That gives me hope. I am thinking we move out into the hinterlands a few miles and avoid “city” issues. CA is going nowhere fast and it is overrun by Liberals and illegals.
That's your absolute best play, if you can manage it. Truth is, all major US cities are infested with, and run by liberals.
Wherever you go, do try to put more than "a few miles" distance between your new homestead and the big city. If possible, buy an exurban place instead of a suburban place. The quality of life is immensely better, the further you get out of town.
