We’re doing just fine in California. I just finished fixing breakfast and ate it in the cockpit of my 40 ft sailboat that is docked in the beautiful Ventura Harbor. In a bit I’m taking my grandson to the beach so he can surf. Later today we’re having a dock party with the neighbors who are bringing lobsters they trapped. Yeah, life is pretty good here

I have been a Trump supporter from the movement he rode down the escalator with Melania. I donated the maximum amount to his campaign. I also love California. Yes, it has idiot leftist politicians, but the state is just too big and diverse for even them to destroy.

California has the best weather, the best colleges, and the strongest business environment, despite the regulations, in the country. It is so diverse that anyone can find a place to have a good life. Where I live we have a strong economy, fabulous weather, a great evangelical Church, and beautiful lands. You just need to be flexible and work hard. While I love where I live, I would not live in 90% of California. I don’t like Southern California.

The whole San Francisco is a “Sh&thole” story is complete fake news. It is an amazing vibrant city and is currently a boomtown. The population has grown 10% since 2010. Yes, there are homeless issues, but a lot of has been caused by the growth, as poorer people have been pushed out of their neighborhoods by corporate development. Unlike Seattle and Portland, SF has a positive corporate environment. Just look at a list of the companies headquarter in SF.

The real estate is expense due to supply and demand (please remember Econ 101). The demand is high due to the strong economy and the tech company growth. The supply is limited due to geography. SF is surrounded by water on three sides.

California has lots of issues, but I have no intention of moving. BTW, I see lots of Texas license plates where I live.
