Ooops, left out the author...Jon Caldara. Any way to add that? Thank you.
I was going to ping you Beaversmom.
Then I saw you posted it LOL.
I will ping Grace instead :)
Last December?
Ahhh poop, I left out the date, too. Yes, December 2017 is the date of the article. lol. I hit submit way too soon.
Thanks.
When California was flooded with flower-children and other free-thinkers from across the nation, it was California’s fault.
When California was gorged with illegal aliens, it was California’s fault.
When these folks began to harm California, it was California’s fault.
Now when places like Colorado go South, it’s California’s fault.
Colorado is Colorado, and every bit of blame that was leveled at California, can now be leveled at Colorado for not controlling their state. Hey, that’s what folks said about California.
If it was and still is California’s fault, it’s also Colorado’s fault.
The common denominator is marijuana , wherever it comes into regular and casual open usage societies are morally corrupted by it . I think it is some kind of door way to the demonic realms , where all the stuff that then follows tend to originate from . And this is the path our nation is on . Stoned out me, me, me .
This article is exactly right. The cost of living and real estate has a very California feel to it as well the last year or so.
Forty five years ago the most popular bumper sticker in Colorado was...
DON’T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO!
Well, it has been.
Fabulous writing, for once, that provides concrete details of its thesis which explain why the big move out of CO. Where’s the next Colorado going to be? Texas, Tennessee, Idaho? Where are these folks going?
He’s right when it comes to the Front Range. All urban areas become lousy places to live eventually. A lot of the small towns are still great though, especially on the western slope.
I am native born Californian and I am still here (please don’t blame me, I voted for Reagan as Governor and President). At least 10% of the people that I graduate from grammar school, one of my brothers, and several other California natives that I have known have all moved to Colorado.
I underwent electronics training at Lowry AFB, in Denver, back in the early 60’s; I thought Colorado was so beautiful, and thought I’d like to move there when I got out of the military.
Well, it didn’t happen, and now I’m so glad it didn’t.
Liberals have the knack of turning a paradise into a $h/+hole.
>>Ahhh poop, I left out the date, too. Yes, December 2017 is the date of the article. lol. I hit submit way too soon.<<
It only leaves the question:
Last December?
I remember seeing a bumper sticker near Cortez in the mid-80s reading “Don’t Californicate Colorado”.
Eventually we all become California. So goes the nation.
NV is on board as well. Vegas and X-plants are dragging us down. Well, Reno isn’t helping these days either.
You are right. It’s our nation’s fault. What we have become as a people. It’s systemic. But we are becoming very California-ized here. Culture, politics, policy, cost of living. (Hey, it’s not all bad. Maybe we will get an In and Out, but I have heard they are not what they used to be...and I would only get a veggie burger anyway.) I’d love to visit CA someday. Heck, I might even want to live there if things were different. But I can’t because of the astronomical prices to just live.
That would have been about 10 years before I saw it.
I went to college there, graduating/moving on in 1974. Don’t recall ever seeing it in that era.
