I wouldn’t live in CA, even if they offered to pay me $50,000 just for having a residence there....

It’s a failed foreign state in my eyes, and should be treated as such.

More like taxpayer flight.

Some of them wash up hereabouts and there is little about California they miss other than the weather.

Ask them where they were born. Chances are, it wasn't California. The natives are staying. The waves of interlopers who flooded here for the good life in the 70s, 80s and 90s from the East Coast are the ones who are leaving first.

This explains the economic decline. The state will soon be just like Mexico. A place people are willing to die to get out of. Arizona will have to build a fence to keep Californians out.

A nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

Can’t blame them. Who wants to live in “Mexico 2.”

You get more of what you pay for. The whites are paying for hispanics to have babies and then keep them. The whites are paying for the schools, teachers, police, social workers etc. also.
It is no wonder the state has the highest percentage of welfare recepients and is losing taxpayers.
The only good thing is that the state is now broke and can’t afford much more..something has got to give.

Leave it to an uber liberal rag to frame the demographic shift in California in racial terms.

It’s not “White Flight”.

It’s Producer Flight. It’s Taxpayer Flight. It’s Common-sense Conservative Flight. It’s Small Business Flight. It’s American Patriot Flight.

It’s the Wagon Pullers seeing the day-glo handwriting writ large on the wall, and realizing that California has put targets on their backs.

I’ve been seeing more California plates out here. I wouldn’t mind so much, except for the fact that they bring their failed ideology with them.

Understand that a lot of those cars you see with California plates are being driven by hard-working conservatives who finally had enough of being suppressed by the left-wing system in California.

I'm one of them.

No surprise. California whites think no differently than Zimbabwe whites.
Run, don’t walk.

That's a generality. Many native Californians, including yours truly, have left the state. On the other hand, I have quite a few non-native Californian friends who have chosen to stick it out.

Folks of both varieties are leaving California for the same reasons.

I was reading that in Detroit, they even have black flight. That is pretty pathetic.

My wife and I are both native Californians. We left
for Idaho in 2000. Taxes, crime, crowding, anti-gun regs,
and endless stupid new laws. We don’t recognize
the state of our birth. The snowy winters aren’t a
bad trade for fixing all the other things that went
bad. We will never return. I’m compelled to make
trips to San Diego for work. The minute I’m cleared
to return home, I depart on a 920 mile drive home
to Idaho.

Not a good scenario with too many liberals fleeing the state and infecting other good regions with their rotgut socialism and Demrat votes. That leaves Kaleeforneea more concentrated also in liberal/illegal/foreign control where they are used to 3rd world tyrannical styles of government.
If gargoyle Barbara Boxer gets re-elected the state is then certifiable FUBAR.

They don’t mention that it is very difficult to pay for things out here for most people—it’s expensive to live here.

I hear they are going nuts trying to get white college kids to stay in dorms, as opposed to living off-campus. When I was in college in the mid 90’s, we (me and my white friends) moved out of the dorms because they were moving gangsters, real gangsters, into the dorms for free. So we had to pay for the pleasure of wondering if freeloading La Raza-man was going to knife us over refrigerator space. He got to stay for free while we worked two jobs to pay for an a place to sleep and an education.

It used to be a paradise. But you have to ask yourself just why are you sacrificing so much just to live here now?

This is all part of breaking us down and remodeling the interior. The communists are achieving more than even they could have imagined.

We are falling. No one will like where we are headed, not even the leftists/minorities who are presently supporting the fall.

We had "some" move into our neighborhood from a former dim run City and State (Kansas City, MO to get away from the city's rotten schools, crime and "infrastructure"), only to sport "Women for Obama" bumper stickers in '08, for the gals at least.

Now they've tipped our votes to lean dim and support higher taxes (for the children, don't you know!)
