I grew up in San Jose, but left 35 years ago when I enlisted in the Air Force, and I’d never go back except to visit relatives. My conservative niece and nephew are both in college there now, and I made sure they both voted. Now, considering the results, I’m going to start suggesting to them that they consider moving out of the state when they graduate. California is being ruined.
I moved from CA when I joined the AF in '76 and I only visit family members there, too. CA was once a truly great state, but is now only a deteriorating shell of its former self.
