I live here too. It’s so sad because it really is a beautiful state....but it won’t be much longer.
I live in California. We just approved Prop 30, a massive tax increase. Next Jan. 1 CARB regulations kick in as well as repeal of the Bush Tax cuts. This morning I heard of the first of an avalanche of pink slips that will be handed out by mostly small companies. Folks I belong to a teachers union so I’m supposed to be relieved, right? I’m not. Tax revenue will become a trickle of it’s former flow. We’re all doomed, some sooner, some later. Arm yourself because no one here’s going to save you. Everyone for themselves.
And it’s not like we haven’t warned over and over about this.
I will begin looking for another state to move to. I realize that eventually the same problems which have sunk California, will invade every corner of the U.S., but, perhaps, I’ll be able to reach my retirement years before that happens.
I think it is the public sector unions who helped devise the welfare sheme in California in order to attract and keep the illegal aliens in order to have votes that will perpetually support their outrageous generous benefits. Because Texas has just as many Hispanics and is conservative. They don’t have an all powerful public sector union gang running the show.
Just wait until their EBT cards start bouncing. Then TSWHTF.
They already are...Don't be fooled. It's why they are always begging others to join them...lol
The big exception here is we have great weather in southern California, no snow, hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, and ice box weather or miserable extreme heat and humidity. Not to mention lots of things to do and see.
Ya can't do anything about change or demographics thanks to corrupt U.S. government.
Currently, 73 degrees, clear, sunny with a mild on shore pacific Breeze. Orange trees and flowers abound.
The rest of November, December, January, February should be about the same.
If I got to live in a socialist country, I might as well live in where the weather is near perfect year round, where there are lots of things to do.
Take care!
I live here too. In place of complaining, I am thinking better look for loop holes, how to get free goodies? Need some way to cover tax hike. In liberal land do as the liberals do. Let spread welfare around. Atleast, it can speed up fall/bottom, less misery.
Let start sharing loop holes for welfare, especially for those who are making 100k+.
Unless you want America to be like CalifornicatingU land, the rest of America needs to separate the blue state pos’s from your money.
Start a boycott, buycott or avoidcott with the Blue States.
Don’t buy a product made or raised in a blue state unless you have proof its owners are not left wingers.
Don’t vacation in, or have conventions or business meetings in, Democrat blue states. Start with Nevada until the casino bosses get rid of Reid and send him home to have more time with his family.
Don’t visit CalifornicatorU land. Don’t go to Follywood movies and stay away from our products except those produced or raised by conservatives.
Avoid NY City like it has the plague. It has the terminal Bloomberg mental illness.
The Blue Staters hate you, your religion, your belief system, and your priorities in life. Let them live without your $’s.
Let the blue states sink on their own!
Save your charity $’s for red state people when disasters hits their area.

Hey, I was born and raised in Southern California but escaped from there in 1979 to live in Louisiana (ancestral family state). After many years my job brought me to Illinois, which is now in the exact same position as California, but with shitty weather.
But I will be 62 soon, so I may just pack it all in and remove myself back to Dixie, where there are still some folks who believe in the freedom envisioned by the Founders. However, if we want to preserve freedom there we’ll probably have to secede (again).
Good grief. The Democrats are just grifters. They’re not socialists. I’ve been around hard core communists. They think about the revolution every day. The Democrats think about how to put your money in their pockets and campaign chests every day. The Communists said they had to have 3% of the population as hard core communists in order to take over a country. That’s 9 million people in this country. You think we got 9 million throat cutters? Look at Grandpa Ayers and Obama. Do they look like throat cutters to you. Ayers lies about his age so he thinks he can have a chance with the girls. He’s just a dirty old man. How about Nancy Pelosi? Take her out deer hunting and have her gut a deer. I guarantee you that old girl will be throwing up. It’s pretty easy to talk tough, but it’s a lot harder to cut someone’s throat. They’re just Democrat grifters.
It’s over.
Life long Massachusettes citizen here.
I live among these fruits EVERY day.
I know.
it’s over.
thank god i never had children.
ain’t that sad.....
i have aways said the inherent flaws of human nature will be the end of us.
Envy and jealousy will drive this country into the gutter.
When i was a kid i used to dream about visiting California, At the time the state was highlighted on every TV show.
California just looked sooooo nice and comforting.
Now, as a 45 yrr old adult you could not even pay me to visit that retched state.
This coming from a life long MA resident.
California, The land of fruits and nuts.
California continues down its path to nowhere.The best thing to write down is to remember that your environment is changing,it shouldn’t be about leaving this state but about adjusting to it.
In time,this idiocy will run its course.
Due to family commitments this will have to be my fantasy baseball league for a while..... But as soon as I can find solid figures for each state. The percentage that went for Romney vs Obama, I am going to post them as a vanity thread. The states with the highest percentage of pro-Romney votes are good states to move to
My guess is the top Romney states are in the Nebraska to Idaho region and a few the south. Texas vote went how high against Obama?
