My in-laws fled Thousand Oaks this Spring. 1200 sq foot home sold for 800,000.00 after listing at 750k in 2 days.
Moved to CDA, ID.
I asked them why they left beautiful CA, a land where both of their GRANDPARENTS were born (family arrived during gold rush and post civil war)?
His reply, "I can see the writing on the wall. We're a gonner. Better get out while I still can".
After they settled in in CDA, ID, we counted over 1000 years in a CA prison for his gun collection and magazines.
Also, he was in real estate and knew exactly when to sell. Now his home is worth 650k (that was before the fire) 2000 yards east of him.
“After they settled in [Coeur D’Alene] ID, we counted over 1000 years in a CA prison for his gun collection and magazines.”
THAT is scary! Even clear over here in a small gun friendly Southern state. CA now regards any gun owner with suspicion.
