I have never lived in California, but I’ve worked there months or weeks at a time in both Southern and Northern California so I’m not without experience and knowledge of the place. I began going there in 1979 and there was much about it that was wonderful. I really didn’t even notice any political or much social bias in those days. The last time I worked for a California company was late 2003 and much had changed my that time.

Since I wasn’t a resident subject to taxes and the like, my time there was not exactly like being a citizen.

I fully expect that much has changed in California since 2003, and not all of it has been for the better. Californians are not only moving to Tennessee, they are moving lots of places.

I love the Pacific Coast, Monterrey/Carmel in particular, and the Sierras are nothing short of magnificent. I particularly enjoyed the Bay Area in the eighties. Even though it was not my kind of place socially, I spent a good bit of time in the Inn at Laguna on the beach while working for an Irvine based company in the nineties and it was great. In the late seventies I spent weeks at a time living in the Buena Park Hotel next to Knotts Berry Farm and would occasionally see a day clear enough to see the hills in the distance.

So, I have lots of pleasant memories, but would never want to live there, at least in the cities. I’ve been to 38 states, and about thirty of them are places I would rather live than to be buried away in the liberal cities of California. Rural CALIFORNIA I would enjoy as long as the tax base wasn’t crazy. There are some much more morally grounded people in the rural areas.

As for the people, like anywhere else there are good and bad people.

I expect that the mass exodus from California has more to do with the liberal economics than anything else. Who couldn’t enjoy the Pacific Coast or the Sierras?
