You know, I agree with all this, and yet yesterday here in CA I watched the super bowl in a friend’s backyard in 75 degree weather and a beautiful blue sky. I spend about one day a month in Napa drinking excellent wine in the vineyards. I visit the ocean in Carmel and the central coast often, and I love Lake Tahoe. It’s pretty great here. Why cede this beauty to the left? So far at least I choose to stay and fight for CA (my kids aren’t in public school).
There is one thing that no state in the US mainland can match California -— THE WEATHER.
As long as the California weather stays the way it is, people will continue to STAY until it becomes Northern Mexico ( and even then, many will continue to stay ).
