A California Exodus. But Where Are They Going?
Fresno KSEE 24 ^ | December 11, 2012 | By Olga Spilewsky and Conan Nolan, NBC

About 100,000 more people moved away from California in 2011 than relocated to the Golden State, according to the latest report from the U.S. Census Bureau.

In recent years, unemployment in the state has skyrocketed, while the cost of living has increased.

So, where are these Californians going? The Census Bureau calculated that the most popular destination is Texas, with 58,992 residents relocating there along with a number of California companies.

Arizona was next on the list, with 49,635 people moving, then Nevada, Washington, and Oregon.

Although in smaller numbers, others are still relocating to the Golden State. Texans make up the largest number of new California residents with 37,387 people, according to the report. That is followed by people from Washington (36,481), Nevada (36,159), Arizona (35,650), and New York (25,269).

“One of the things I point out to others here in California, is that San Francisco used to be Republican.”

Good for you to point this out! I was born in SF in 1940, and grew up in the East Bay. There was not a better place on this planet to live then. Of the four nationally recognized technical universities, three were here (Cal, Caltech, and Stanford). WWII “helped a bunch.” Blacks came here from the South to work in the defense industry (Kaiser was building ships at the rate of one every 30 days in Richmond). But after the war, the didn’t go “home.” They stayed here and became a chronically unemployed underclass that exists to this day. The only thing that they have been singularly successful in doing is procreating. More recently, the gays “discovered” SF, and now they run the place because they are “politically active” and have gotten themselves elected at all levels of government. How’s a gay female Chief of Police grab you!
Oakland has gone the same way. The last white GOP Mayor in Oakland left office in the mid-1970’s, and with the exception of Jerry the Fairy’s term, all of the rest of them have been minorities (black with one Asian nut case).
But, how is this any different that Detroit, Baltimore, D.C., etc. All run by Rats, and those RATS are mostly Black. Show me a Black RAT-run city of any size that’s prospering. I don’t think you can.

“They all move to Colorado in the 90’s and look at it “

Nonsense! I used to have to do business in The People’s Republic of Bolder a lot earlier than the 90’s. Berkeley has nothing on Boulder when to comes to the “practice of Marxism.” Boulder has it down pat! I will wager that Colorado is just like California in that the rural areas are still nice places to live and where conservative values prevail. All states problems stem from their “major cities.”

I'd wager most of the people fleeing California now weren't born there.

Maybe, but a lot of us native Californios have pulled up stakes and moved on. I've been in Texas for seven years now.

Not much political correctness to shed. Where we are there is a lot of "diversity" who were given various incentives to move up here. The crime rate has gone way up. Old-timers have told me how nice it was to live up in the high desert before the Section 8 types swarmed up here (a lot of whom just seem to get off on being rude to white people just because they can). To hell with them, I say!

Thanks for your comments! When we have the time and money available, I’d love to do some sightseeing and visiting. Open carry... that means I don’t have to have a license to carry a weapon, correct? That’d be great!

I'm sad that colorado got californicated.

I'm sure that was part of it, but not all the problems (IMO) were because of Californians. There were a lot of ghetto behaviors and attitudes trickling up to non-ghetto people.

At least the other ex-Californians I knew were interested in getting and keeping jobs. A lot of the people who already lived there were moochers of one sort or another.

My family of four left the Central Valley two years ago and we are loving Colorado. We bought along two red votes and hope to take CO out of the Dem column for the next election. Many of those fleeing California are, like us, conservative producers fed up with high taxes, ineffectual liberal government, and the flood of immigrants.

That about describes us too. The cost of living has continued to go up and up and up here as well. I took an approximately 30% pay cut some years back, but no bills have gone down. Electricity rates here are crazy. So moving to Northern Arizona, for me, is a no-brainer.

Did you both know that the now extremely liberal UC Berkely was built because San Franciso Universitiy was too liberal?

Funny now that UCB was initially conservative....just like CA.

This one's for you and for SandRat.

One of the great restaurants in the United States is located in Cochise County -- in the old mining town of Warren, to be precise.

Rosa's Little Italy is a delightful, though unpretentious, little restaurant in Warren. Rosa, who runs the front of the house, serves world class Italian cuisine prepared by her husband, who is the chef.

The specialities are Florentine, but Neapolitan and Genovese are also available.

The food is extraordinary -- comparable to any restaurant you might find in New York, Chicago, San Francisco or Dallas.

It's BYOB and reservations ARE recommended. You won't regret it.

Don't know if you recollect much of SF. I grew up in the Mission District. Largely Irish/German/Italian way back then. Very pleasant, conservative family values. I used to enjoy the upscale stores, theatres and restaurants on Mission Street. After a movie, getting a milkshake at the soda shops. Candy stores on every corner. Sixty years later, it looks like a Tijuana ghetto, all the good stuff is gone, illegals have ruined it.

I worked for the City of SF, sometimes worked in the mayor's office. Willie Brown was a manipulator, always got his way. Elevator would open, and he would be standing outside to enter, with a steely gaze. Even if full, we would stand aside or exit to give him an island of space. He placed cronies of his in high-paid do-nothing positions. When I worked at the emergency communications center, he stuck a crony there getting over $100g/yr. The guy would ask me constantly if I wanted coffee, or to answer the phone for me. Asked him what his job was, he said he didn't know, but he could do anything I asked of him. Within a year the guy was in prison for fraud and other charges. I was the odd one there, a conservative Republican. Worked with that female fire chief, as well as the female cop who became chief; they weren't so bad, were friendly enough, and got the job done. These Rat mayors with their graft and cronyism ruined the city.

Didn't know that. I do know the UC system was built to provide affordable education for native Californians graduating from high school. Now they shut the doors to many natives, encouraging foreignors to go there. Also giving in-state tuition breaks as well as free tuition to illegal Mexicans. UC abandoned their primary reason for being. My daughter graduated from UC Berkeley. She couldn't wait to get out due to the crazies there. She went primarily to learn her major, graduated at 21 and is doing well. I feared she would get corrupted, but she stayed normal.

I would also suggest the Cafe Roka in Old Bibee. Served up with class and listed as one of the best 100 in the Southwest. Reservations required.
