And the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay as well.
Given New Yorker's and Californistanner's attitudes about everything outside of their areas, they're probably shocked that you have indoor plumbing and aren't marrying your siblings.
>>I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
I love that movie.
I'm a non-Calfornian living in California looking to move out sometime in the near future. Afford a home? Maybe if I had hit the Google lottery.
DON'T COME HERE!!!!
The majority of Kalifornication's residents elected this leadership and I'm sure are really happy with the results. The rest of you whiners just shut up and pay for your neighbors pot, incarceration, and illegal activities for those not in jail. You have to be wrong because the MSM has not said a word about how bad you say it is.
A surprising number of paved roads, too.
It's called a tax revolt.
I moved back to the midwest after 18 years in Los Angeles. I miss my work, the ocean and Gladstones but am happy to be back among normal folk.
No kidding. We see more and more California license plates on our commute on 183 every day.
We must close the border now……..the Oregon/Washington border that is. No more California refugees in Washington State!
I snuck out of California 7 years ago and now have temporary protected status in Washington but we can no longer afford the hordes of Californians using our resources and taking our jobs. We need border enforcement NOW!
I can hear the State Senate now "There ought to be a LAW!"
A User's Fee for exiting! What a great suggestion!

As I've posted several times, Kerrville is but a few months away. Bought some hilltop acres last year and hope to move this summer.
The state plans to send Kern Medical Center $20.4 million to lower the hospital's massive debt.
Assemblyman Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, helped secure the money Thursday.
He said he'd personally bring the check to the county next Friday.
"I'm looking forward to that and I'll be there to accept it," said Peter Bryan, KMC's top administrator.
KMC has racked up $70 million in county general fund loans in order to pay for services to Medi-Cal patients.
"I argued for as much as we can get," McCarthy said. "I thought this was a great amount of money."
The state is overdue to reimburse the county-run hospital for services to the poor. That's because California's Medi-Cal program is undergoing a redesign.
McCarthy said the state hasn't turned in paperwork to the federal government about its plans to change the program, tying up federal-state money for the hospital.
He said he tried creating a bill to get the money, but it would have taken too long. So he went directly to the state Department of Health Services and Department of Finance.
He said the money would bring the county into a less dangerous debt zone.
County budget analysts calculated the county would be in financial trouble if the loan hit more than $67 million. The current balance would become an emergency if it isn't paid by June 30, the end of the fiscal year.
Bryan said he was happy to get the money, but still wary of further tie-ups. He said the hospital hasn't been paid $10 million due from the state last year.
Kern Medical Center is one of the only county hospitals left in California. They might as well change that from "medi-cal" patients to illegals. It is overrun with them, they use the emergency room for a doctor's office.
Oh and by the way, that $70 mil came directly out of our property taxes since that is the only monies the county really gets.
You'll love it. Stay conservative.
I do everything possible to keep 'em from stopping in NM.
Where in NM?
Unfortunately, it does not have the chart like the paper article does. California (and the other teal colored states in your map) are going down and the light shaded states (espeically IN, OH, and MI) are going up since 2005.
My wife and I moved to Indiana from So California 2.5 years ago. Best decision we ever made. The standard of living is much higher, less traffic, crime, crazy liberals running the state in the ground, and its a shall-issue CCW state (that just passed a lifetime CCW bill).
My brother in law left California last year for Texas (Dallas suburb called Flower Mound).
We skipped the SW/Mountain states for that very reason. Too many other Californians moving there.
