California is the embodiment of Margaret Thatcher’s famous quote, “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” It is depressing that even with the evidence of years of repeated collectivist failure, people keep trying to make a communist silk purse out of a rotting sow’s ear.
Just keep this in mind if you decide to flee the socialist stench of California: Please remember why you left. Don’t Californicate your new home.

Believe it or not, CA has three percent more conservatives than liberals. It's a shame the CA GOP can't take advantage of that.
Stop telling people leaving CA to move to Texas. They will absolutely hate it here!
:)
I know, I’m a bay area native. I left for the second time a few years ago to be with family. A lot of good people even in that area.
HA HA HA HA......Just love your post! I was going to post something
close to it.
Pssst! California did not invent even the most whack elements of
liberalism although the local politicians are more than willing to
try any stupid idea out there. And, as you indicate, California
doesn’t manufacture liberals to intentionally infect the rest of the
nation any more than the NE intentionally infected CA starting in
the 60s. The seeds of liberalism are everywhere. One need only
to look at the more urban areas of their own state.
Californians who move to more rural areas of other states tend
to be more conservative types. It seems that in places like CO and
MT more of the tree-hugger types have migrated. But two things
come to mind. First, some of those migrants come from areas other
than CA and, second, for some of those migrants, CA was just a
stopover, anyway.
Like you I have a problem with FRiends who lump all Californians into
the same pile of liberal crap. That type of thought is at the base of
modern LIBERAL philosophy. That is, society is based on many
different groups and everyone in each different group thinks just
the same as any other person in that group. Therefore, you, me,
and all Californians think the same liberal thoughts. Put a face
on evil and in this case that face is California and ALL of us who
live here.
“Yeah, but all those city votes control the state.”
They won’t control the state if you starve them to death!
If every conservative/moderate moves out of the cities they can’t support themselves. The more they raise taxes trying to, the more people leave.
It’s too hot in Arizona. Texas is where Arizonans go to cool off.
“.....Even the conservatives in CA are liberal.”
Really? Then what does that make you a Bolshevik or a gas chamber
“greeter” at a WWII German concentration camp?
Apparently you have never been here on a damp July day. :)

I love to watch visitors to Arizona come back to their cars in a packing lot and grab the steering wheel. First they look confused, then they try to grab it a second time, then they look stunned, LOL!
I’m telling you, folks, it’s too hot here, we have scorpions and rattlesnakes, and our sports teams stink. There are a lot better states to move to.
Yeah and when people here in Texas come back to their black cars with black vinyl seats, wearing shorts (cause it’s hot ya know) you can hear them screaming all over the parking lot! The best parking spot is not the one closest to the door, it’s the one under that lone tree.
hehe
Drive through any high-end brand auto dealer. Almost all of the cars are dark exterior, dark interior, even in areas with the hottest weather.
FTA: If my husband and I tried to acquire in California what we have here in Idaho – namely, 20 acres with a good-sized house and a barn – we’d be spending upwards of a million dollars, easily. And we’d have a mortgage to match. But we spent one-tenth of that by moving to Idaho instead. And we bought this place solely on the income from a home woodcraft business, for Pete’s sake. Try doing that in California.
I live in southern California (San Fernando Valley fer sure dude) and have tried to buy a house but I cannot do so on a single income. I almost did after the collapse of prices but even the low cost ones were expensive compared to elsewhere. If it takes 2 people to pay for a home then it is too much plus the house you get for $350,000 is not much.
I recently invested my down payment in Apple stock and hope it goes up so I can buy a home. More then likely it will be out of state (I like Minnesota just not the long long winter). There are places in California where prices are reasonable but my job keeps me here. It could be done from home (Help Desk support) but the company wants you in the office.
Being from Minnesota and knowing the prices there I could easily buy a home by a lake with a big yard.
Sorry, Jeff, but you’re a native of California because you were born there. That’s what the word “native” means.
I live top of the hill in Rancho Palos Verdes. Most of the time traffic is pretty light. If I go down the hill to Torrance or Redondo then that’s another story.
Thanks for the photos. My comparison regarding the 4 seasons
aspect refers mainly to the north-south area where the
foothills start to meet the Sierra Nevada high country at
the 2,000 - 3,000 ft elevation. A large part of that is
where Hwy 49 winds its’ way through the region known as
the Mother Lode. The photos in your link depict the
foothills at the lower elevations, closer to the Central
Valley. Many of the small communities which line Hwy 49
resemble New England towns in certain ways. I grew up in
one of those small California towns and we most definitely
experience all four seasons although maybe not quite as
pronounced as New England.
Those high end cars have black leather interiors that is better than black vinyl. Black vinyl will leave burns on your bare skin. I used to have one of those and I had to keep a white towel to sit on in the summer.
But it’s still black!
I measured 40 degrees cooler on gray leather than on black whatever seats parked in the sun.
I know people who bought Jaguars because finding a Mercedes or Audi with lighter interiors is too difficult.
I’m pretty sure California has proposals on the table to ban dark cars, hehe.
It is the initial touching of your skin to the vinyl and the leather. Leather is hot, maybe the temp is the same but the vinyl will make your skin peel off. You will feel scalded!
