To the majority who are leaving, remember that your decisions made the state that way. Respect and do not bring such decisions to the state you are going to. You brought it on yourself in the first place voting for such people.

I did leave California 30 years ago. People come here from California and vote to make Utah more like California. They just get frustrated. People need to understand that if you move to a conservative state you need to understand what makes Utah, Texas, Florida, Idaho, and the rest of them good destinations.

Been in California sense 1966. I was born in 1960. My mom moved here because college was so much cheaper here at the time. Our first apartment was maybe 200 feet from the beach in Venice Ca. After that, we lived in Culver City. After she got her degree, we moved to Corona in '72. She passed away in '87. I stayed in western Riverside County working in physical therapy. Over the decades I've been in California, I've watched my state go from being a land of endless opportunity to a place where dreams go to die. Once I retire, my wife and I are leaving for the Midwest to get way from what I no longer consider to be my state.

I am a single mom and my son is now 16 years old so we have been looking at South Dakota! Living in Los Angeles is so terrible since Covid!

[Richboywayne]

They move from Cali to Nashville and act entitled, snobby, complain about everything and vote the same way. I got into it with someone from CA who said we should have front license plates here. Remember if your bumper sticker says Biden, keep on driving.

As a San Diego native for over 45 years, I was lucky enough to remember California being fairly conservative, especially San Diego. These days, California is running businesses out of town as fast as they can, with no thought of where their tax revenue is coming from. This means the remaining residents will have to absorb that extra burden. For such a beautiful state, it is run by the worst of the worst, power hungry, self-serving bastards in America. They aren't dumb... they're evil. They don't care if Californians lose their business, starve, or die... so long as they get their way. My wife and I escaped in 2015 and never looked back.

[Maxchesley]

To all Californians: stay where you are and FIX the MESS you created. Don't leave and go to another state that you're going to go to and vote the same policies that got you into the mess you're in.

[lynnelliott]

We moved out 5 years ago and it has been the best decision we have made. Bought a house twice as big for a 1/3 of what we sold our home for in California. The only thing I miss is friends and family and most of them are getting ready to move.

[patriotallen]

You are absolutely 100 % right. I left California a year ago. I am now debt free and living a comfortable life. Best decision I ever made

Born and raised in Florida, I moved to LA for career, and i blossomed, bless them allowing remote work, because I just left a $3000/month 900sqft studio in Hollywood with resident homeless people that lived on my sidewalk. I lost so much compassion, I literally just left. What a god awful terrible thing to wake up to everyday. It got worse and worse and worse. These people were homeless chilling on that sidewalk the entire 18 months i rented that unit. No way that isnt a choice. Bullshit. One time I saw a dude high out of his mind leaning against my neighbors door to where you can wave your hand in front of him with no response. Horrible. The glamour and glitz of LA is long destroyed. Open your eyes, that place needs a serious cleaning. During the pandemic, I had a $4000/month 8 bedroom house in Kissimmee FL that was 5000 sqft with a pool and jacuzzi on a lake, only 10 min from Disney. After going back to LA, it was impossible to not feel like I was just getting absolutely fucked.

[Laycismom]

I feel trapped in California. I make less than $50k a year. I’m very lucky to be able to say that my house will be paid off this year...luckier than most. I was born and raised here. I’m now in my 50s. I am sickened by the things going on in California. The community I live in was once full of crops and hard working people picked those crops. Now all I see is dry fields and miles of solar panels. The North stopped most of our water. It’s really quite sad. We have homeless everywhere. Crime is through the roof. I wish I could afford to leave. I feel like better places to live are going to quickly fill up. Cost of living is going up everywhere. I miss the good old days.

[cbxsounds]

I saw this coming over a decade ago. I used the revenues from my 3 semitruck company and dropped it on multiple 4 and 5 bedroom homes throughout the Midwest. Now at 11 homes. Each leased to one individual that runs a hospice business. The lease rate is higher than the average rental rate in those areas. At the time I didn't know what I was doing. But it has turned out good, providing my family with a very comfortable life. Thank God. The crazy thing is. It can still be done. I continue to do it.

Back in 2000, I went to the LA area with my company. Coming from Alabama there was certainly culture shock. But, what really shook me was the high rent. I was hq'ed in Buena Park with 5 accounts in the SoCal area to manage. After nearly 6 months of living in a hotel, my company asked if I would relocate. I considered it and started checking the cost of living inre rents and utilities and quickly discovered that I'd need a raise of about 200% and even then, it wasn't like I'd be killing it. I was making 50K back then and in Alabama that was good not great money. In Cali it was near poverty. Needless to say, I declined the offer. Great views out there but underneath the pretty is a whole lot of crazy.

[CryptoSurfer]

I grew up in California but reached escape velocity over 25 years ago and never looked back. It was a great place to grow up in at the time, but so glad to be out of there now. This should be a real eye opener for those still hanging on.

[TRoxanne]

My Husband and were born and raised and lived in California for 40 years. We finally left for Alabama and love it here. Even though he was paid well we had to keep moving to be able to afford it until he got laid off and we couldn’t take it anymore. It was a blessing in disguise. Been here for 10 years now and can’t imagine being anywhere else.

Also after I healed my own trauma and become more healthy in my mind and spirit, I see so clear that how horrible deepening narcissism is spreads in CA. Lots of covertly narcissistic people who are good acting like they are “ nice, helping humanity” people, but they are emotionally so broken and so sick and they don’t even know themselves are so sick. I can see them this way now because I now in a very different state of my conscious. Way too many these kind of people are now bundled in CA, no matter is in Hollywood or LA ( this is the flagship of narcissism base), or in those huge high tech companies. These people now are everywhere and in everything layer. Texas has lots of toxic people too, but I can immediately know the difference between people in CA and Texas. Some Texas people are still having more down to earth, and authentic self. They still kept their raw heart when connecting with people. I think that makes a huge difference. They don’t like CA moving to their place, and I don’t blame them, because they hate these people go there and contaminate their culture and beliefs.

I am 60 and old enough to remember when CA was the land of opportunity and a place people went to to make a fresh start and live a good life. Progressive policies have destroyed the state. I live in the Midwest and literally pay a fraction of what people pay in CA for a 1 bedroom apartment. This is an apartment not in the hood but in a nice suburb. At this time I work remote. I fill my gas tank once a month sometimes every other month. So I buy gas 6-12 times a year. The grocery store, the gas station, the drugstore the post office are all within 5 minutes of where I live. So I use very little gas. Yes we have crime here but I do not see people openly stealing at Walgreens. We had 6 hours of rioting back in May 2020 the Gov sent in the National Guard then imposed a curfew for a week there has been no rioting since then. There are homeless here but I can drive literally 1 hour in any direction and not see a homeless encampment. Things are bad in CA due to the destructive policies imposed by the politicians there.

[debbievinsant]

I live in Tn have a boat at the local dock met a man from California fishing off the dock he fled California and said he was almost afraid to tell me he was from there he said he was going broke in California and was a conservative so people were giving him a hard time. I of course welcomed him to Tn I feel sorry for people with any moral values who are stuck in the state of California but if you do move to conservative towns we are religious we follow the 10 commandments to the best of our ability that is what has kept us normal we want to stay that way just be sure you can respect our values and vote red! We may not be rich but our needs are met and we have respect for just enjoying the lake and the mountains God has blessed us with. You are welcome but as I said don’t treat us as if we are not as good as you or that our way of thinking is wrong remember we have preserved a good life with our way of thinking. If you vote blue want to protest for every little thing and raise your children without morals true morals then stay away and maybe look for a place that meets your values.

I went to part of high school in California in 1960, then came back a few years later with the Navy and was stationed in San Diego for 4 years, and stayed in California after I got discharged. In 1975, things started to get a little worse. I was paying $85 a month for rent, and by 1980, the rent had gone from $85 to about $400. I finally decided to leave in 1995. I was working at a great job and making lots of money, but that didn't make up for how bad the taxes and state over regulation was getting. In 1996, my wife and I finally pulled the plug. I quit my good job, and we moved to Idaho. That turned out to be the best thing I just about ever did. I struggled for a couple of years, but I never regretted leaving California. What I did regret was how badly the state government was screwing up the state for all the people who were still living there. I'm very happy living in Idaho, and would never think about going back to California.

Born and raised in CA 1967. Left in 2010. I loved being raised there. Beautiful, enchanting, gorgeous geography. It's a damn shame what's happened there. 😕
