Have you ever been to Michigan? I've been to your state. The only reason I will ever go back is to take my kids to see the Redwoods. I can think of hundreds of reasons why California--any of the left coast, for that matter--is simply not for me. But I've been there; I'm not just making a blind judgement.

Michigan is not perfect. We do indeed have some high gas prices. But let me ask you this: can you buy a nice 3 bedroom/2 bath home for under $150,000 anywhere in your state?

I'll take the high gas prices, thanks.

No I’ve never been there. And yes you coud buy dump in an awful neighborhood in a small town that nobody wants to live in for that price. Those of us who own homes bought in the 80’s or earlier are sitting pretty when we’re ready to move to another state. California could be it’s own country with the economy it has. There are too many illegals here, but whose fault is that? Native Californians? It’s the climate and the economy are making this state overpopulated.
