My in laws live near Placerville. Beautiful country. Too bad its full of Californians.

I lived there in the early 1990s. A good friend stayed in Santa Cruz, where he had a paid for house and he was near retirement. Now he’s in his early 70s and the gun laws are becoming truly stupid. I believe you have to show ID to buy ammo. Massive taxes on that ammo, too. All sorts of guns are banned. All sorts of magazines are banned.
That’s his main hobby, so even though he’s in a nice house in a (still pretty) nice neighborhood, he’s being pushed out.
Another self-sufficient Californian gone, to be replaced by a welfare parasite.
He’s been active in trying to get the County to stop catering to heroin addicts. Santa Cruz has a huge population of junkies, and the city/county do all sorts of stuff for “the homeless”, who, when not mooching off the libtarded Social Services and community group charity do normal junkie things like break into cars, steal bicycles, and leave AIDS infected needles all over playgrounds and beaches.
