Surfs up! And Serfs out!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Genius.
The voters of California (and most other places) are ignorant sheep. They see something like "School Reform Bond" on the ballot and they think "Oh good, we're going to improve education. We sure need to do that." Disregard the fact that the the bonds in question may be written so that 70% of the money raised goes toward the construction of gay, lesbian, transgender education centers. Throw in a stirring editorial or two in the LA Times or San Francisco Chronicle and the initiative passes with an 80%/20% margin.
Get out now. Let them drown in their own mess.
I continue to ask the same about the Newt supporters. When it became clear that he couldn’t win - that was the sign to switch to Santorum.
If the Newt supporters had switched when Santorum beat Newt in NH and in Iowa he could have won South Carolina, and the race would have been very different.
If the Newt supporters had switched after Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri showed that Newt would never win another state - Santorum still could have won.
If the Newt supporters had switched anytime prior to Michigna, Santorum could have defeated Romney. But they did not - they stuck to Newt and ensured Romney and the subsequent defeat to Obama.
Find a job, contribute to our society and JOIN it. It doesn't need changing so leave your Liberal BS ideas, PC BS, Eco-BS, and Diversity BS in Califoristan.
If you're not smart enough to know what F'd CA up like a soup sandwich then you belong there, not in Texas.
My favorite haunts around Haymarket, Warrenton, and Leesburg became more like New York and New Jersey. Charlottesville is just one never ending traffic snarl, and all the Yankee transplants in Fredericksburg had me screaming out the car window “Go back to New York!” And, with Terry McAuliffe getting Soros money and fund raising in New York, he just might be the next Governor. It just was not the Virginia I grew up in. It broke my heart.
I know what you mean. I’ve been a Virginia resident since 1967 and am getting weary of what’s happening. Someday I can see myself moving back to my home state of Alabama. I seriously doubt that many Yanks will move there.
I go back there from time to time and enjoy listening to true Southern speech, which I rarely hear in Virginia.
“Word is its out of state investors driving it.”
It’s out of country investors purchasing houses for cash.
Are there any stats yet on how many Californians have left ..??

EXCERPT:
According to Internal Revenue Service data, net migration from California to other states totaled 865,444 people from 2004 to 2010, the highest in the nation.
Think of it this way: The equivalent of the entire city of San Francisco packed up and left California in six years — and thats with taxes lower than they will be under Proposition 30.
Where are the Californians going? For the most part, its to states with lower individual income taxes. Texas, a state with no income tax, leads as a destination, with a net inflow from California of 185,122 people from 2004 to 2010, the IRS data say. Next come Arizona (top income-tax rate of 4.5 percent), Nevada (no income tax), Oregon (11 percent) and Washington (no income tax). In the top 15 destination states for ex-Californians, the migration-weighted average of the highest marginal tax rate was just 3.9 percent.

Next question — who are remaining and replacing those leaving?
