It has already passed the breaking point. Millions of reasonable people have left the State and most of what is left cannot get out because of financial ruin or family.

That is the point so many others miss. We can’t get out because of family and the financial hit of losing jobs, nhomes, and non transportable medical plans. What we need is a “President Trump” clone to be our Governor and clean things up.

We're actually in position to leave the state (retired in 2017). I'm even willing to sell our house as-is (it needs quite a bit of work done) and leave money on the table just to get the hell out of California (we've both lived here our entire lives).

With our only child having move to Texas almost two years ago, I just have to convince myself I can live in the Texas heat and humidity for half the year.

That's basically our situation. I probably have my last IT job (due to age discrimination) and my mom is still here. Once my mom is gone there's only the job situation to consider.

The impossible to comply with gun laws the California Supreme Court just upheld is yet another reason to leave in a very, very long and growing list.
