Same here. Hated like hell to leave my beloved birthplace, but the place I grew up in, no longer exists.

Exactly, the California my husband and I grew up in or the one his parents grew up in just does not exist anymore. It was hard to leave at first, but now I just dread having to go out there twice a year to drop off my mother in the fall and pick her up in the spring.
Awesome graphic! I feel the same way having moved from MA to AZ. What if every conservative up and left the left coast bound for Texas? :) The housing problem in TX would be solved and the liberal paradise would degrade into a full blown circus with no paying customers. Concede the left to the left, and rebuild the rest. But then there’s that damn northeast. Walls ... TALL walls.
Proud to say I left California in 1988 when I was 20 years old, and never returned!!!
Same reason I left America soon after Obama was sworn in.
