Did they take more left wing ideas from California to Kansas?

[OldFriend]

For sure they're not moving to NJ or Louisiana. Probably not Illinois or Michigan either. Definitely not Massachusetts.

[My2Cents]

Californians are migrating to Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona, and are ruining those states as well.

You mean San Francisco. At any rate the ones who left probably took the great conservative ideas that have come out of California with them. The liberals tend to stay put.

[Mo1]

Most likely .. sounds kind of like what happened in Philly

They screwed the city up so bad and then left because they didn't like what happen

[ElkGroveDan]

Quit posting this my wife is going to see it. She keeps emailing me real estate ads from Wyoming and Montana for 8-bedroom 6000 sq ft homes on 40 acres for $800,000.

I'm just not ready to call it quits to this beautiful state full of good people.

[Moonman62]

The Browns are an example of what demographers say appears to be an unprecedented phenomenon -- even in a good economy, more people are leaving California for other states than are arriving from the rest of the country.

They must not be counting the illegals.

[Blood of Tyrants]

With millions of illetgal immigrants destroying the culture and the cost of housing so high that most people will NEVER be able to purchase a house and 2 hour traffic jams, it is no wonder they are leaving. Too often though, they fail to see that it was their own stupid left wing ideas that caused the problems in Californian so they start tryiong to turn their adopted states into mini versions of California.

I moved back to Kansas after 18 years in Los Angeles. $40,000/year in California is nothing.

Unfortunately they are moving and polluting conservative states with liberalism.

If we ever build the fence here in Arizona, it needs to make a turn to the north at the California state line and go all the way up to Nevada. Arizona is rapidly moving from a red state to one of those freaky lavender jobs.

[Churchillspirit]

And the rain on January 1st. 2006 should have deterred a few from moving in! LOL!

I was about to say the same thing.

[Mo1]

Unfortunately they are moving and polluting conservative states with liberalism

BINGO !

[Rumplemeyer]

The same story here in the Northeast, the lefties are taxing the middle class out of the states.

New Jersey was at one time a great place to live and work, low taxes and small government, that has all changed the place is a Black hole of waste and corruption, highest tax burden in the country,highest auto insurance rates, most business unfriendly state, the Democrat corruption is so bad it is a joke.

I am winding up my business here and will be moving to Florida late next year.

My family has lived in New Jersey for 108 years, it has become New York City on the west side of the Hudson, shame.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thinking about going back myself.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

They are invading beautiful Arizona like locusts. I hate being stuck in traffic with California license plates all around, not to mention those from the east and the midwest.

[bray]

Don't Californicate Oregon...sorry too late! Bezerkly North now.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[NormsRevenge]
