Hate to say it...as I'm a born and bred SoCal....ex-surfer, ex-worker, ex-tax-payer, and have friends and family there still.
Yup, it’s coming. My only hope is the coming California insolvency will wake up the middle class to the massive hemorrhaging of their tax dollars toward useless idiocy and the state rises from the fall, rather than being abandoned to the children of the illegals. I’m not terribly optimistic. The best case scenario is the state breaks in two above Santa Barbara, and the south is conceded to the illegals and children, while the middle class flees to the north and demands responsible governance.
Not saying I want to see SC conceded to the illegals and children, I’m just saying I think the options are set: either they get the whole state, or give them the south and try to salvage the north state, after insolvency. If nothing else, the north has a flood of water to sell them so the state of North California would have at least one solid permanent economic advantage over the south.
