Spare me any education. Cali is lost regardless of how many conservatives are there. There will always be drastically more loonies.

Please move to a swing state. Plenty of places with beauty and opportunity.

Florida
Texas
AZ
Etc

I moved from Florida because it’s hot, humid, flat, and the pay is shit.

Call me when I can make total compensation of $150k+ in a state with good weather.

Texas maybe I’d consider some day since they actually do have decent pay, but the weather hits too close to my 35 years in Florida.

Retiring early 2019, moving to AZ next year, where my vote counts.

Anywhere except Georgia, right?  Or Idaho, or,...  Apparently, no one wants Californians of any political persuasion.

Wife asked me to make a exit plan.

I can make money anywhere so who knows what’s next.

Don't tell us, tell that to the crybabies in the states you listed that don't want us.

I am not going to upend my life and move just to go somewhere that will soon be like California.  Sorry.  Not gonna happen.  Sadly, some States on my short list are shifting Blue faster than I'd like (AZ and TX).  Others I'm considering are NE, ID, and WY.  Maybe KS or OK.  There are job-related issues that require just the right circumstances for me to move to all but TX and maybe AZ and ID.  East of the Mississippi is not even a consideration.  Already had to drop NV from the list.  Not sure about adding UT to it.

Moved to ARIZONA in 1994 best thing I ever did -

Where's etc??

I just saw this on Facebook the other day then I stumbled accross this thread. I thought you guys would enjoy this.

Almost all the "Californians" I've worked with and met socially are from somewhere other than California.

There are relatively few native-born Californians.

If all those "immigrants" went back to their home States, California would likely be the reddest State in the Union.

What I am hinting at with this post is that, Calfirornia is NOT the problem.  It is all the other States that that have screwed up so badly causing their residents to leave for the economic opportunities available here in California.

Make California Great Again!

Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Illinois, Ohio, Mississippi, Louisiana, and all you other shithole States, take your people BACK!

Oh, and Mexico and Canada, too.

I know it's personal and tailored to your desirements but what are you guys looking for in a State that would cause you to move there?

Is it taxes, weather, housing, health care, employment opportunities,...?

What places have you found that match your desirements.

Don't tell Ma Danby, she thinks she likes South Carolina.  Which has Son, Daughter-in-law, and only Grandchild, humidity, hurricanes, bugs, alligators, no real mountains, no deserts to shoot in free.

I still haven't given up totally on CA, but getting pretty damn close.

I visited Dallas last year.

The thing I was most disappointed with was their mexican food is freaking horrible. How do they deal with that bland crap?

I really liked Texas but the public land thing and to a lesser extent property taxes kinda' concern me.  Nevada until recently was relatively cheap unless you want a tree, then prepare for CA prices. I like trees. And they are going hard left lately.  Arizona up near Flagstaff is nice. Not too ungodly hot. They keep electing 'tards to the senate though. I have relatives in Idaho, it's nice but according to the ID HTF it's full.  Of course if your really read the ID HTF you'll see the most vocal anti CA voices are from CA.  Oregon is weird.  Beautiful but weird.  Washington is turning into Los Angeles. lol   Montana is awesome but winter, yeah.  It's cold.  Wyoming is windy and cold.  Colorado, sigh.  Utah.  Never been to New Mexico except to drive through it to get to Texas.  All of the western states are beautiful and appealing in their own unique ways.

I like California.  I want to fix it.

I saw this in a news article today -

"U.S. Census data released in December revealed around 661,000 people left California in 2017, most of them headed for Texas."

That's well over half a million people in one year!  That's 2% of the population leaving in one year.
