    And this is unusual? Did you complain when people moved from East to West 150 years ago?

    That’s what happens under leftist government. Society is hollowed out: 10% are elite and 90% are the great unwashed masses. No middle or upper-middle class.

    I have 5 kids and don't see myself leaving CA any time soon. I would save a lot of money, but uprooting my kids or leaving them behind is not worth the money for me. I believe that a tipping point will eventually be reached as our cities are heading for insolvency.

    I'm seeing this story quite a lot and it often includes a side story about AOC's seat being eliminated.

    What is most disproportionately the most underachieving and dependent demographic in our country. Our black population. Which states had the most disproportionate share of that demographic? Alabama and Mississippi. Which counties in those states are the poorest and with the least achievements. The blue ones.

    Can you give an example of where this has happened? Colorado, now infected with Californians, has become too expensive to live and homeless rate is out of control. New Mexico used to have virtually 0 homeless. We now have tent cities everywhere. I see no benefit to becoming a blue state. I agree that liberalism is like a cancer.

    I lived in CA for 21 years, married, kid, nice house in Corona, I sorta thought I was content although there were a lot of things I would change if I could. My fortunes changed and we moved around, settled in NM and what a difference things are. In California it's sort of like being born with a cast on your leg and having that cast impede and intrude on your life is the only life you ever knew, you don't even consider what life would be like without it. Then the cast comes off and eyes start to open.

    My wife was born and raised in CA and she said she would never go back.

    What makes this thread propaganda isn't the factuality of the information in the OP (and it is a nice change to see a right wing OP containing something resembling a fact - it will die of loneliness), but the purpose of the thread & the nature of the posts on it. If you post a thread arguing the exact opposite a week earlier & post variations of the same old rote learned attacks then it is propaganda. Facts don't matter, just the narrative.

    The USA turns into one big ghetto, of nothing but broke states/cities and people pooping in the streets.

    I always think this is what Democrats want a liberal utopia of where everyone is miserable.

    I can't imagine living in California with the oppressive state government.

    What a beat down.

    Why are the blues exoding if their policies are so good?

    I can tell you.

    Unaffordable housing prices in all the city areas where they want to live.

    And better job opportunities in Red states, because so many businesses have picked up and left to move there.

    To be fair, only half of the reason businesses have left directly has to do with policies and taxes. The other half is cost of living that cuts into their profit margins.

    They don't see any connection.

    Or are unwilling to.

    That is getting to the gist of it. I will probably be joining them in a few years. Sell my house here, get a small condo and get a house down south out of the brutal snow. I am thinking Tenn or North Carolina.

    Worked for me. I loved S. Cal.
    I chose Arizona, but anywhere warm is nice. :)

    Yes, and they will be the ones to take care of everyone.

    Only problem is, every Democrat thinks they will be "they", but the reality is, they wont be the ones running things... they'll be just another street pooping peon.

    Yeah, fiscal policy and homelessness were real issues in the 1800s.

    "Did you complain when we discovered America."

    What kind of question is that? Lol

    True. It's happening to Nashville these days. The flight of folks from Cali to TN is irreparably harming what was once a civil place to live.
