I know how bad it is. We still know several people there and all are depressed and want out. One is in escrow. To think about how it once was is quite sad.
I lived there for 34 years, from ages 8 to 42. Schools were excellent, roads & freeways were top notch, and the beaches were gorgeous. Moved to AZ in 1996 and now the only thing I miss is the ocean.
I personally now know a half-dozen families who have moved from the Bay Area to Texas within the last 12 months. I have to say, though, Texas better watch out. Ex-Californians have already helped turn NV and AZ into blue states. TX is neXT.
Yeah, but it sure is nice
on those Hollywood nights
in the Hollywood hills.
