And if you don't like it, you should vote to end immigration.

I have an SB60 referendum petition, do you?

Because it is ultimately population bloat from immigration that is pushing people out of their old neighborhoods and into yours.

Um, I don't live in the Central Valley. I'm just tired of city folk ruining farms, forests, and ranches because of their stupidly destructive whims. The people of Stockton never complained about the smell of peat when I was a kid because they knew it was necessary. It's a cultural problem, not just a matter of population.

And that referendum seeks to halt population bloat from LEGAL immigration?

The only "cultural" problem is the belief that LEGAL immigration is perpetually wonderful.

I live in the city still but watch with amusement when folks flee to the country. They complain about the cow smell next door. One guy in a new suburb here called the fire department when a neighbor burned leaves. Firefighters explained that's allowed out in the county.

Then there are the people who started the move to former farmlands country in the county next door about 15 years ago. Now they're outraged that a Walmart is being built next door. Uh, folks, look in the mirror. You're the ones who started the migration that resulted in enough people to warrant a Walmart.
