Where I live in WA state, there must be thousands of Californians moving in. Their license plates are everywhere.

They are selling their real estate in CA, buying here, thus driving up development, driving up real estate prices here and driving up the property taxes that come with the higher real estate prices.

Thanks for nothing.

I want to leave WA state but the wife won’t agree.

Same here in Oregon!:(

driving up real estate prices here

How are the people from CA driving up prices in WA?

...then incessantly whine about how much better California was...

How do you think Orange County went from 250,000 residents in 1945 to over three million today? There was a baby boom but folks weren’t THAT busy. My neighbors in the early 1960s were from Illinois, Wisconsin, Arkansas, and Mexico, among other places. Land was cheap, traffic was reasonable, and cities were uncrowded back then. Now it’s your turn.
