I agree. I keep hearing about the blue locusts moving to other states to destroy. If this were true wouldn’t only conservatives be left in California.
Great point!

Blue Locusts,
LOL!
If the actual vote went 80% for conservatives and their policies, what would reported vote totals nonetheless be?
No, the majority of us left before 2008. Those who were left stayed because they had either purchased really nice property during the downturn in the 90s, inherited it, or otherwise already paid it off and kept thinking maybe they could turn the state around with a RINO legislature. Then the property taxes increased to the point it was no longer worth owning the property mortgage-free. Now, it's becoming evident that's not going to turn around and they can cash out by selling their inherited 2 bedroom 1940s cottage to Blackrock for $2.5 million.
I left in 2004 because my neighborhood was getting more and more dangerous. My car got broken into in a locked garage, my next door neighbor had a junkie climb up the outside wall to look in the windows off her balcony, and I was starting to feel threatened just walking down to the coffee shop or the gym (IMO, one of the best features of my place was being able to walk everywhere). Someone made me an offer over the phone for my condo and I took it and fled. Besides, my family had already moved out, so I just followed them.
