This is, I think a followup on last weeks piece. Nice interview with someone who is leaving California because of all the hoo ha going on there.

I moved from North Hollywood, Calif in 1971. So glad I left that God Forsaken area. The only problem is now the (other) Californians are moving to where I now live. Then they want to change the laws to what they left.

For decades now California's proponents have crowed about its stature as the “world’s fifth largest economy” – a status achieved largely under Republican governors Reagan, Deukmejian and Wilson.

LOL! More BS, as the state was rated 5th largest up from 6th largest just about two years ago.

Only someone that didn't have a clue what they were doing would move into the Hollywood area.. LOL!

Well you didn't bother to post your state flag, and I would guess this is bull sh*t as the realestate inventory is extremely low, as most are not moving anywhere! LOL! The ones that do go on the market are getting multiple full price offers! So what were you saying?

And what state are you in? Hehehe......

[Joe Hadenuf]

Oh, Idaho........LOL!

[thoughtomator]

How nice, our own little Gazas springing up left and right.

[bedolido]

Yup Idaho. Beautiful area. Idaho has doubled in size (according to the 2000 census) over the past 20 years.

What could possibly be BS about this? And for what reason?

[Snerfling]

Q: What is the most telling characteristic of a 3rd world country?
A: The division of wealth between the haves & have-nots.

These doom & gloom stories are just promoting the publisher's agenda. In reality, it's fairly easy for a regular family to live in CA without having to live in a slum. After all, there's at least 25 million of us.

Take a drive south of LA from OC down to San Diego. The people are just like anywhere else in the US. The only difference is the beautiful Pacific and perfect weather.

Nope, I left California for Alabama, and I don't want to change Alabama one bit, there are forces trying to convert Alabama, but I am not. California is a disaster which is finally happening.

[johnqueuepublic]

No regrets, then I guess, lol.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Joe's point is that people are overplaying the "California is Horrible" card. It clearly isn't. Our state has strengths that even Gray Davis and John Burton can't diminish, and I believe a major backlash is about to hit those two jokers where it hurts - at the ballot box.

[johnqueuepublic]

So your point is what, high taxes cause prosperity?

[bedolido]

I understand. I lived in Atlanta for a few years before I moved to Idaho. California is finally having to pay for years of liberal fiscal abuse. Goodluck Califorians... you're definately going to need it.

[johnqueuepublic]

nice analogy

[Joe Hadenuf]

As a result - as the old saw goes - people vote with their feet, and that is exactly what is happening in California.

Yup Idaho. Beautiful area. Idaho has doubled in size (according to the 2000 census) over the past 20 years.

Idaho's OK, but Idaho aint got nothing Cal doesn't have. There are remote rural areas in California big enough to put two idahos in. LOL! We got more lakes rivers streams, mountains, you name it, and more beauty. We were actually going to buy property in Idaho years ago, until we spent a few weeks in the winter there, It was too brutally cold for me. I've been there in the summer too, when normal summer temps can easily run 100 plus degrees in the Boise area.

It's a nice place to visit though. My liberal brother in law teaches at the Univerisity in Moscow Idaho, of all places...........

[Joe Hadenuf]

Uh, my post was clear.......

[johnqueuepublic]

BS alert.

In the first place there are over 32 million Californians and nearly 10% of them are illegal aliens. The state is busted, just missed its 15th budget deadline in a row, and is nearly $40 billion in debt.

Whole neighborhoods have been dislocated because of the push from Mexico to export its dark skinned people.

Get real dude

[johnqueuepublic]

Most states in the union have beautiful place, since I live, fish and hunt in California I am well aware of its open spaces - there were beautiul spots in Hitlers germany and Stalins Soviet Union also, one thing has nothing to do with the other.
