      Now what do I say when I live in Serbia. Where is common to be poor,but we are mostly all educated to the level that other countries would love having us as hard working ,loyal ppl.??? So the answer is,they put us in sizuacion that we cant even live the country cause we dont have enough money to begin with. So,if you David or anybody have an answer for me,I would love/like to listen to them and start living better life. Thank you all up front. And btw,sorry cause of my English. Was writing fast,or did not know better! Thank you again.

    Been in California sense 1966. I was born in 1960. My mom moved here because college was so much cheaper here at the time. Our first apartment was maybe 200 feet from the beach in Venice Ca. After that, we lived in Culver City. After she got her degree, we moved to Corona in '72. She passed away in '87. I stayed in western Riverside County working in physical therapy. Over the decades I've been in California, I've watched my state go from being a land of endless opportunity to a place where dreams go to die. Once I retire, my wife and I are leaving for the Midwest to get way from what I no longer consider to be my state.

    Also after I healed my own trauma and become more healthy in my mind and spirit, I see so clear that how horrible deepening narcissism is spreads in CA. Lots of covertly narcissistic people who are good acting like they are “ nice, helping humanity” people, but they are emotionally so broken and so sick and they don’t even know themselves are so sick. I can see them this way now because I now in a very different state of my conscious. Way too many these kind of people are now bundled in CA, no matter is in Hollywood or LA ( this is the flagship of narcissism base), or in those huge high tech companies. These people now are everywhere and in everything layer. Texas has lots of toxic people too, but I can immediately know the difference between people in CA and Texas. Some Texas people are still having more down to earth, and authentic self. They still kept their raw heart when connecting with people. I think that makes a huge difference. They don’t like CA moving to their place, and I don’t blame them, because they hate these people go there and contaminate their culture and beliefs.

      From TN and lived in Nash almost 20 years. The artists and musicians moved to East Nash where no one else wanted to live because it was too “ghetto” by Cayce homes but we loved it and it was a neat underground feel to the scene…then unfortunately we made it too desirable and they ran us out along with most of the original folks who lived there their entire lives because they couldn’t afford to live there anymore (nor could most of my friends or the ones who could sold their houses to make 100k and took off to Denver or Austin).Now most of the artists and musicians can’t either, unless they are no talent trust fund babies. It’s sad for Nash all around. The future gens are doomed to exposure to more viral TikTok,“content creators” instead of getting really real artists. I left 2 years ago to get closer to my family farm where I was able to get a 6 bedroom home with a pool for what a shot hole in East Nash would have cost, and it’s getting worse. Nashville has lost its Soul.

    As a San Diego native for over 45 years, I was lucky enough to remember California being fairly conservative, especially San Diego. These days, California is running businesses out of town as fast as they can, with no thought of where their tax revenue is coming from. This means the remaining residents will have to absorb that extra burden. For such a beautiful state, it is run by the worst of the worst, power hungry, self-serving bastards in America. They aren't dumb... they're evil. They don't care if Californians lose their business, starve, or die... so long as they get their way. My wife and I escaped in 2015 and never looked back.

    Born and raised in Florida, I moved to LA for career, and i blossomed, bless them allowing remote work, because I just left a $3000/month 900sqft studio in Hollywood with resident homeless people that lived on my sidewalk. I lost so much compassion, I literally just left. What a god awful terrible thing to wake up to everyday. It got worse and worse and worse. These people were homeless chilling on that sidewalk the entire 18 months i rented that unit. No way that isnt a choice. Bullshit. One time I saw a dude high out of his mind leaning against my neighbors door to where you can wave your hand in front of him with no response. Horrible. The glamour and glitz of LA is long destroyed. Open your eyes, that place needs a serious cleaning. During the pandemic, I had a $4000/month 8 bedroom house in Kissimmee FL that was 5000 sqft with a pool and jacuzzi on a lake, only 10 min from Disney. After going back to LA, it was impossible to not feel like I was just getting absolutely fucked.

    My family and I left California, 9 in total, over the last 3 years, and here's why.
    1: It's a one-party state and will remain that way: Due to the mass migration of illegal immigrants on its open borders and people like Pelosi's nephew Newsom who was voted out of office by a recall with 82%. Aunt Pelosi to the rescue, she kept any other Democrat candidate from running which allowed him to win, again, by 62% only a few months later.
    2: Fires and evacuations due to bad politics: They prevent deforestation and will not clear fire roads or public property of waste and dead flora creating a literal tinderbox.
    3: Priced out of the state: I made a 185,000 per year salary not including full benefits, 150% 401K match, etc. as a healthcare executive (Yes very underpaid due to my age at the time) with an award from the AMA and retired in 2013, now on Social Security, I could not afford to stay. This is deplorable, and if you were ever seen at a hospital or doctor's office in Northern California between 2005 and 2012 it crossed my desk, so to speak.
    4: Massive taxation you will never get back in retirement: As mentioned above at 185k I paid roughly 48% out of my paycheck, about $85,000 a year and now that I am retired I get $24,000 per year with horrible healthcare benefits.
    5: They started enforcing medical experimentation: I don't care how many times they redefine the word "Vaccine" to fit their agenda and refused to be genetically modified to remain in my home state.
    If you want my advice on California, as a resident born there, bail, bail now if you still can. You want an answer to "Why?" the simple answer is "Democratic rule".
    And since you asked, how far my lineage goes, I am a direct male descendant of high-ranking military officers in the American Revolution. My family has fought in every war since, except Iraq (I was medically disqualified when I tried to join the Marine Corps) and a few of my family names are Rose, Hatfield, and McCoy.

      This is a scary reality for a lot of people, not just California, IMO. Like the Fed in 2020 calculated that if you're a household whose head is 60-64 (so right around retirement age) and you have $250k of net worth (including your home equity), you are ABOVE average. People are routinely going into retirement with like 1-2 years of current salary total, somehow deluded into thinking that this would be enough to live off.
      Sure. Maybe if you moved to Ecuador or something.

Because the cost of living was so cheap they were offering double, and it was still cheaper than california. Consequently Montana residents are losing their homes in exchange for higher rent. 4 years ago rent for a 3bd 2ba was $500 mo. Two years ago it skyrocketed to $1200 and now it's 2k for a studio.

    I went to part of high school in California in 1960, then came back a few years later with the Navy and was stationed in San Diego for 4 years, and stayed in California after I got discharged. In 1975, things started to get a little worse. I was paying $85 a month for rent, and by 1980, the rent had gone from $85 to about $400. I finally decided to leave in 1995. I was working at a great job and making lots of money, but that didn't make up for how bad the taxes and state over regulation was getting. In 1996, my wife and I finally pulled the plug. I quit my good job, and we moved to Idaho. That turned out to be the best thing I just about ever did. I struggled for a couple of years, but I never regretted leaving California. What I did regret was how badly the state government was screwing up the state for all the people who were still living there. I'm very happy living in Idaho, and would never think about going back to California.

I was hq'ed in Buena Park with 5 accounts in the SoCal area to manage. After nearly 6 months of living in a hotel, my company asked if I would relocate. I considered it and started checking the cost of living inre rents and utilities and quickly discovered that I'd need a raise of about 200% and even then, it wasn't like I'd be killing it. I was making 50K back then and in Alabama that was good not great money. In Cali it was near poverty. Needless to say, I declined the offer.

    My husband and I just left California (after 60 and 65 years there). We were born and raised there loved growing up there, having our family, building a business and having a wonderful group of friends. We saw the decline though and knew it was time to go 2 years ago. Our kids are now leaving too. It’s just not smart to stay there anymore and you explained it perfectly. Thank you Patrick. The move wasn’t easy, but it’s well worth it and our political viewpoint aligns much better with where we are now.

His uncle is still there, he's an electrician and currently had to travel to Northern Cal just to get some work. We keep urging him to move, his $300k house is now worth well over a million.

Retired early age 63, loaded up moving truck, car on tow trailer, hop inside with my cat as my co-pilot. Driving 800 miles to my new State. Honestly, I did shed tears as I left California. Not for my home State, for my daughter and gran kids who prefer big city life. I choose to live the last chapter of my life in peace.

    I am 60 and old enough to remember when CA was the land of opportunity and a place people went to to make a fresh start and live a good life. Progressive policies have destroyed the state. I live in the Midwest and literally pay a fraction of what people pay in CA for a 1 bedroom apartment. This is an apartment not in the hood but in a nice suburb. At this time I work remote. I fill my gas tank once a month sometimes every other month. So I buy gas 6-12 times a year. The grocery store, the gas station, the drugstore the post office are all within 5 minutes of where I live. So I use very little gas. Yes we have crime here but I do not see people openly stealing at Walgreens. We had 6 hours of rioting back in May 2020 the Gov sent in the National Guard then imposed a curfew for a week there has been no rioting since then. There are homeless here but I can drive literally 1 hour in any direction and not see a homeless encampment. Things are bad in CA due to the destructive policies imposed by the politicians there.

      You’re not very smart. First off the number of homeless has nothing to do with any policies.
      you’re failing to ask the question “why” are there homeless in liberal areas. Did liberals cause this problem? Hell no!
      In fact it was Ronald Reagan who is the father of modern day homelessness. Here’s why:
      1 Reagan defunded state mental hospitals which put all those people onto the street.
      2 homeless people in big cities don’t originate there. They either come there for the free services, better weather or the fact they aren’t hassled.
      3. Red areas in California are documented as sending their unwanted homeless populations to LA and SF on one way bus tickets. SF has full time social workers at the bus terminal who helps them when they arrive. Greg Abbott is using the same formula to get rid of the illegals coming across the border. He’s sending them to NYC and DC as we speak.
      4 people who are homeless in major cities usually couldn’t have afforded to live there at any point. They weren’t residents in those cities before being homeless.
      5 the homeless who come voluntarily to major cities know that those are safe havens where they can get free food, healthcare and are treated as human beings by liberals. Conservatives chase them out with guns.
      6 the majority of the homeless have mental health and/or drug addiction. They knew that in cities they will feel safer in a community with similar people around them, and the cities don’t hassle them when they do drugs. In SF we opened the hotels for them during Covid. Many of them opted to stay on the street because they thought it would mean giving up drugs and they weren’t willing to do that.
      So stop blaming liberal policies for homelessness. It’s the opposite. Liberals are the ones who generate our economy and are compassionate enough to help the homeless. Conservatives might not have made those people homeless, but they sure as hell don’t offer any solutions. It’s like their healthcare plan. which is a big……
      Nothing!

      Among the reasons I’m happy to be able to afford San Francisco is because it was voted world’s best city to live in in 2021. People actually come here to be homeless because living on our streets is better than living in the Midwest. I grew up in the Midwest and couldn’t live there again. I can walk to the opera house, symphony, museums, and all the things you can walk to. I also don’t use my car. It’s comical that people say liberal policies have made housing expensive. NO!!! It’s because California is a desirable place to live and the Midwest isn’t, that people want to live here and that drives up the price. It’s about location location. You have no ocean and no redwood forests, do you? The best part is that our weather is 63 degrees year round. As climate change continues to make our planet unlivable, just remember that there is one city in America that never gets above 70. You guessed it:
      Time Out crowned San Francisco as the “world’s best” city to live in for 2021.
      The Media & Entertainment company surveyed more than 27,000 city people about dining, nightlife, friendliness, and environmental initiatives to come up with a list of the greatest cities in the world.
      Living in a city during a pandemic seems kind of pointless,” Time Out wrote. “Except, this past year, somehow, it hasn’t actually felt that claustrophobic. In cities worldwide, people have pulled together. And what came out of the doom? A whole load of positive stories and amazing ideas that could define the future of urban life.”
      San Francisco was praised for its progressive politics, community initiatives, and perfect weather.
      Amsterdam, Manchester, Copenhagen, and New York were listed next.

      After declining for several years, life expectancy in the U.S. is beginning to level off. An American born in 2020 has an average life expectancy of 79.1 years - but this can vary widely from place to place across the country.
      Most rural areas actually have a lower 2020 life expectancy than a decade earlier. Yet in cities, where people have better access to health care and high-paying jobs, life expectancy is relatively high. In fact, in many cities, people can expect to live well into their 80s.
      To determine the cities where people live the longest, 24/7 Tempo reviewed data on life expectancy in U.S. metropolitan areas from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
      Of the 40 American major metro areas where people live the longest, the majority, 23, are in the western part of the country - including a dozen metro areas in California. The only other state with more than two metro areas on this list is Florida, with four.
      In the vast majority of the metro areas on this list, residents tend to be wealthy. Of the 40 metro areas, 28 have median annual household incomes higher than the U.S. median income of $65,712. These relatively high incomes allow residents to afford high quality health care, while lower incomes can hinder access to quality health care and nutritious diets.

The solution is not leave the state, the solution is change your politics. Change your voting habits. Don’t be a creature of habit and just vote same party over and over again.

I never thought I would be put in a situation where I would be told you can't work for state safety. But still expected to pay bills. My stress, and anxiety have never been higher. Working my @@@ off for survival. And it still wasnt enough. The lockdowns we had. I completely lost everything. Credit all f up. Went homeless. Had to make sacrifices of not eating in hopes to try, and pay my bills. I had to cancel my medical insurance. By doing so the state fined me more money. They talk about how the job market is bouncing back. And no it isnt. Yes there are jobs out there. They are just jobs. You need muiltple jobs to survive. Jobs want you to have so much experience. Yet they cant pay you for your experience. With the job market being so bad in my area. Its gotten to the point the damn military is on the table. The state has failed. Im doing everything I can to try and work on getting out of here. High cost of living. High taxes, high ridiculous crime.

    Perfectly stated, and exactly the reasons me and my family are running from NYC. We immigrated there in '91 from the former USSR, and we can't stand how bad and screwed up NYC has gotten. We have bought a place in FL and are so excited for our new lives there. The area we're moving to has extremely low crime, great weather, great people, much cheaper cost of living and lots of opportunity, there is also a large Russian community there, so it's an easy transition for my family and my grandmother. We closed out 2 large apartments in NYC, and no one is upset for leaving, there's nothing there anymore, every single aspect of life has gotten so much worse over the years...high taxes, high gas prices, high cost of food, high tolls, huge increase in crime (to the point that no one feels safe walking alone at night, or using any public transportation), traffic is worse, road quality is worse, new speed and red light cameras EVERYWHERE, places that took 10 minutes to get to before now take 40 minutes to an hr. We pray for DeSantis's health and well being, and hope he sticks around FL for a long time, he's done so many great things there, can't wait for our home renovations to be completed so we can finalize the move...
    All my friends and their families are also either in the process of leaving, planning on leaving, or have already left. Democrats are a blight, a plague, are parasites of the worst kind...they destroy everything they touch, and do it with the sweetest sounding words, while they burn everything to the ground.

My particular city will have a contentious vote for school board members and if all 3 candidates dont win, its game over because the liberals moving in are pushing trans books and other nonsense all over their instagram feeds.

    At age 21, back in 2008, I enlisted into the USMC to get out of California. I wanted more than just life at a Junior College, working at Six Flags in Valencia, limping along and barely able to pay for gas or a date. October makes 14 years since I raised my right hand, then took my life into my hands and said "I will not spend my life stuck in a single place. I will not spend my life stuck in a state where my rights are trampled. I will not spend my life paying these taxes, these gas prices, and unable to move myself forward."
    Been around the world twice.
    Started a family.
    Graduated college with a bachelor's degree.
    Got a great job working in Dallas, Texas.
    I don't have to worry about crime. I don't have to worry about my personal rights. I don't have to worry about excessive taxation. Or homelessness. Prior to the last election, my gas was under $1.80 per gallon, and on some occasions I could even hit 60 cents per gallon. Soon as gas goes back to it's pre-November 2020 price, I'll be doing fantastic. My wife can take the kids to public parks and not worry about being mugged or solicited. My kids have a great school where the staff know all the kids by name, and they receive a quality education. It was worth the effort to leave. It was worth going to Afghanistan. It was worth doing all the things I did, so I could have a better life and my children could have a better future.
    If Californians would get their act together, they could have a place worth living once again. I don't think it's possible in this life though, because it requires more moral courage than they presently possess.
