Opportunity?
Regardless and in spite of the politics here, CA is the largest economic engine in America. Bar none. There is no other place that offers more opportunity, or has more jobs to offer. One could only imagine, with better leaders, the potential of CA. That being said about the economy, I would never give up the weather here for anywhere else. The fact is, those that leave, or (run away) generally have done so due to the influx of those from Mexico. But unfortunately, that's everywhere now. Read the posts, listen to the radio talk shows. They tell the real story.
Sorry but people don't leave the largest economy in the country, to some place like Denver for "opportunity". Not hardly.
Regardless of where people live Alia, if they don't like what's going on, they must become involved. Otherwise, the only choice left is to run.
You are not factoring in the quality of life, the taxes, the regulations, the meddlesome politicians, etc.
Your definition of opportunity is narrow.
Yes, they do.

I've no disagreement here with what you've written. I gather what we disagree on is why you think people move away from CA. You think it's because of illegal immigrants or that they are running away from the "CA" problem. Think of the size of CA. 22 eastern/midwest states could fit into the size of CA. So, yes, CA is a huge "machine". Obviously, folks leaving CA are finding something they want "more of" elsewhere.
