And they're more than happy to sell their homes to Californians for the bigger dollars. Which financially aces their own kids and families out of the housing market etc. It's a vicious circle.
The reality is, most really want that CA money! Then they bitch when everything goes to s**t.
Tattoos
Weird sex
Poo poo
Constant talk of white people being responsible for everything bad
Crime tolerance
High-handed begging, more like ordering
Needles
Nihilistic ways of thinking:
SF has a LOT of devotees of those things and beyond an inflection point it all combines to overwhelm SF’s many beautiful aspects.
what was once almost a paradise on earth,
has been destroyed
and turned into a stinking sheet-hole of congestion, anger, traffic, filthy bums, drugs, crowding, long lines, rude people, drug needles on the train and bus seats, people pi*sing and sheeting on the public streets, you name it
it is difficult to have to come to grips with how awful the San Fransicko Bay Area has become, especially for anyone who remembers how nice it used to be
I can’t quite see that. Could you make it a bit larger?

We live in Orange County in S. CA.
Our House is up for sale. Leaving due to a combination of things, Financial including taking advantage of good Seller’s Market, no close Family and at least for me, tired of living behind enemy lines. Orange County used to be a Conservative bastion, but no more.
Not sure where we will relocate. We will probably rent for about six Months and weigh our options.
The only Family we have left is my F-I-L who lives up in the Central Coast. He is 88 and my Wife is not comfortable living too far away from him, so we’ll see.
So far we are looking at Flagstaff AZ and the Gulf Coast (I know, talk about two sides of a coin) which is closer to the rest of my Wife’s other Family. We have lived in CA most of our lives, so this isn’t an easy decision.
Makes me sad to see what CA has become, and it isn’t going to get any better any time soon. The Rats are running wild.
“Nothing to do with PEOPLE CRAPPING ON THE SIDEWALKS?? NOTHING to do with NEEDLES EVERYWHERE???”
This is about the entire Bay Area. Still not much of that outside SF.
You know Dilbert, you need to get a grip. Since you're supposedly from San Diego, you should know more than most of the anti-California idiots here on FR that CA is far from monolithic when it comes to its residents politics. Despite our not being in the majority, there are still literally millions of Bay Area residents who are conservative. And the interesting thing about it is, that where those "pockets of conservatism" still exist here, life is still quite good; better than moving to a place like Texass!
That’s right. Please see my tagline.
I refuse to believe that the sidewalks with human waste on them is NOT another reason for fleeing.
RE: A lot of them are coming to Idaho
Do you know the profile of these new residents?
Are they younger or are they mostly retirees?
Hello Boise, Salt Lake, Phx, Vegas, Reno. Your house prices are going to leap, and your politics are going to take a hard left turn. Just like Colorado.
If everyone is a leftist in CA, why did more conservatives vote for Trump in CA than, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and Oregon combined?
☺
Agreed. I know there are many conservative people in California. Thank God most of us live in nice areas, not areas infested with human waste and drug items.
“human waste”
The Economist magazine has an article on San Francisco and its homelessness/human waste problems.
Maybe the people from “wastehole” countries as Trump called them should consider themselves lucky to have a hole of their own outside of the ‘crat infested USA.
I was in San Francisco about a decade ago and the downtown section and areas to the north & west weren’t dirty.
Downtown Los Angeles in 1987 was an area I didn’t care to be even in the daytime.
........and an additional 39% would move but they don’t think their shopping cart could make the trip......
They, and some other demographics, are really doing a number on the Denver area. We are quickly heading to L.A. of the Rockies.
We left SoCal 10 years ago, with Husband’s company. Now in Arizona. Our drive to the wineries in the Paso Robles area is about 9-10 hours. I really miss the activities we used to enjoy, but not the politics, not the crime, not the expense, not the people (really). I was loosely acquainted with 3 people who were murdered. Never in my life did I think I would ever know anyone who was murdered, when growing up in the Midwest. Life was very cheap in SoCal. Lots more affordable here, just too damn hot in the summer!
