I’ve long wanted to leave California, but for the sake of my wife’s family ties here. We were born and raised in San Francisco, at a time when it was a Republican city. I’m buying some property in Iowa, and we can travel back and forth until ready to cut the leash in California. My daughter and her family are in Iowa. Wife’s mom is 92, we take care of her and her affairs and the siblings would resist moving her out of state. Someday the time will come for us to move. Yep, get out while you can.
Former Mayor Joe Alioto looks pretty sane compared to what SF is today.
