Why leave when my business is good, husband has a great job making great money. Both kids educated and making great money too. House is about paid off and looking forward to raising conservative grandkids right here in beautiful southern California. If more of us hard working people stay maybe we can make a difference. The rest can leave.
My visit to Seattle last April showed a 3 fifths majority toward lunacy. These are my kindred. They are not well read at all. Some were San Diagans.
RE: Not true....
No matter how hard they try, the year around near perfect weather is worth a fortune to us, and is one thing they cannot change.
I think that was his point. You’ll stick with the high unemployment, high taxes, bad schools, illegals, burdensome regulations and a bankrupt pension system BECAUSE of the good weather.
Wonder how long this will last... after all, Tijuana has great weather too...
Just like you, except the weather.....Yep!
Ya see, unlike where you live, we've got weather worth a fortune to us....Ice, fridged cold and hellish humidity?
Not us, never again! Thanks anyway!!
What's the U.S. now? 13 trillion in the hole? And you're worried about Cal?
lol
RE: Ya see, unlike where you live, we’ve got weather worth a fortune to us....
Makes me wonder what kind of conditions should occur before people turn their backs even with the good weather.
Many parts of Mexico have just as good a weather as California and they’re LEAVING in droves.

The U.S., where you live, is now 13 trillion in the hole, and ya have a college campus Communist for President....So you tell me.
I have a feeling that the California Department of Tourism isn’t going to be rushing to buy those photos from you. They don’t make your point. And even if the exposure and composition were better they still would resemble any shore scene anywhere in the U.S., other than the palm tree.
Oh sure...Name a place in the U.S. where ya can ski in the mountains in the morning, take a drive through the high desert, and then go to beach in the afternoon...
Has nothing to do with my comment.
And I know how drive times have increased in California....
As if drive times have not increased *everywhere*....lol
Drive times have greatly *DECREASED* where I live since I was a kid — eastern Washington State. Was 55 mph on two-lane roads with slow trucks — now 70 on freeways. If you think the freeways are congested take a look at a web cam and wait 30 seconds or so for a vehicle to come by.
We simply like the sun, great year around weather, where we can do things outdoors without being crapped on by the weather all the time....Life is too short... We like golfing in December, BBQ'ing in February while wearing shorts, gardening in November etc....Then with mild summers with little or no humidity, close to beaches and deep sea fishing??
I'll tough it out here thanks!
We got home 4 days later to 78 degrees and clear sunny skys...My Orange trees were loaded and NEVER looked so darn good!!
But I bet he’d respond instantly to any report of “vigilantes” taking care of those crimes.
No, we get 6 inches precipitation per year (arid Columbia Basin). Cascade range stops most rain. No mold here — it won’t grow. There are a few small cactus. High temp 117 while I have been here.
I like California weather and geography also — never said I didn’t.
Yep, east of the Cascades ya lose all the Pacific Ocean influence, that’s why it gets so much colder on the east side. Wet on the west side, cold on the east.
