That sounds just like the relationship between California and Oregon.
"That sounds just like the relationship between California and Oregon."
I feel sorry for those of you in Oregon with the left wing whackos in Portland, Eugene and other liberal hell holes controlling the state.
In the past 3-4 years, many who left California in the decade or decades before are returning to California.
We have two younger relatives, hard working young men who did the reverse. One came back 4 years ago, and another will be coming back next week. Our handy man contractor and his two brothers left Portland, Oregon 2=3 years ago and returned to N. California, they had to close their businesses due to lack of business. Here you have to get an appointment weeks later unless you have an emergency if you need their services.
A retired fly fishing friend in the early 90's used to fly to Portland and drive back with Uhaul Trucks/towing trailers and or rental cars to get the Uhauls or vehicles back to California. He worked some deal to fly fish a couple of days back down I5. That died about 5 years ago.
About two years ago he was contacted to do the reverse trip. So now he drives the Uhauls and/or rental cars to the Portland area, fishes up I5 and flies back home.
The recent higher prices of homes in Oregon has enabled or encouraged former Californians to move back south to get away from the Portland Islamo/Greenies/Rats.
We still have families moving to the Medford area when one or both get early retirement. They can buy reasonable homes, get full time or part time jobs and live a good area with a lot of conservative neighbors. They still are vulnerable to the liberal bs that comes out from up north like requiring fire bosses to be able to speak Spanish.
Our latest trend in N California is for the older/richer homosexuals to move to New Hampshire. They no longer move to Ashland, Portland or Eugene. They go to New Hampshire. The younger homosexuals are leaving for Austin, Texas.
It is interesting to watch the trends as people move for political or tax reasons or like many recent returnees from Oregon, better job security here. It is an American tradition. As an amateur genealogist, most of the relatives on both sides of our families moved for economic opportunities. My wife's clan basically for generations has stayed in one area, a couple of cities/towns in a couple of counties.
Have a great week.
