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).

That Italian restaurant sounds wonderful. I will go looking for it once we have fled California.

Not sure I would carry a weapon in my belt, but I have been sorely tempted to get one of those ladie's purses which is built for carrying a weapon.

sorry for the delay.

I understood the bumper sticker to complain of over development. Large tract of land were being turned into housing development. As beatiful as the houses were, many locals seemed to fear suburbanization of what had been rural areas.

I will go back sometime and see if I can recognize anything.
