An ex-CA resident, I too live in Arizona (”Arid-zone-a”). The difference is Arizona officials are made to plan ahead very carefully. Arizona revolves more around the people of the state. Unfortunately Leftist CA revolves around government, but the people have allowed it.
As we all know, there are plenty of good people there. Jim Robinson and his family for a start. My brother, my best friend, lots of nice people. They have their homes, their histories, their families and all of their careers there.
They are just outnumbered by leftists and crazies.
