Leftists screw up everything

People are fleeing the San Francisco area in droves, and not just because of the high cost of living. Carole Dabak, a forty-year Bay-area resident who is moving to Nashville, Tennessee, had this to say: “'We don’t like it here anymore. You know, we don’t like this sanctuary state status and just the politics here,' she said."

As more people like Carole Dabak leave, the state will resolve itself into a more concentrated, "purer" form of Leftism, which should nudge California closer to political and economic implosion, but, in any event, will provide the rest of us with a case study of what's in store for the whole country if the progressives triumph everywhere.

Those coastal elites.

I hope they never get to the southeast coast and disturb your retirement.

We moved to a simple mountain town 20 years ago, away from Sydney. Last 5 years with rising Sydney prices 'gentrification' arrived in our town with a vegan gluten-free restaurant and organic food store/cum art gallery. Frequented by single women on big salaries who commute to city jobs. Now they just opened an 'Artisan' bakery! Yuppies buy 'cute' worker's cottages. I guess it's better than the old druggies who have to move further out. I keep telling myself it's better. Hope your town ain't gentrified tho. Want to hear more about surviving small town culture.

Calexit is sounding better and better. World's sixth largest economy? Let's see how long that lasts after they're gone (apologies to my cousins who have lived there all their lives, but I hope they know they're always welcome back in the good ol' USA.

We fled California four years ago for the country life of the Hill Country of south Texas, and have never regretted it. The quiet of the dark early hours disrupted by the sound of the train seven miles away, or the occassional bark of a dog on the nearby ranch, or coyotes is far preferable to the squel of tires, police helicopters, and gunfire. Our county is completely red. But we do have to contend with small town politics, and school district idiocy. Progressive ideas are more prevalent in the large cities, but do spread their tentacles to the small towns. Thankfully, the farming, ranching areas retain strong traditional values, and pass them on to their children. It is a wonder when a child in a high chair shakes your hand like an adult. "Mam" and "sir" are the norm. Thank God We aren't in California!

Kalifornia will eventually look like North Korea. Only with coffee shops and artisan bakeries for the masses.

Not for the masses, not at their prices. This mass already stopped going to Carls Jr with their $7 Western Bacon Cheeseburgers, shrunken to the size of 4 bites.

Why am I still here? I'm glad you asked. It's because I have a good friend here, and I don't make friends easy, so when I escape (to Arizona I'm thinking) the next inevitable step will be the finding of my dessicated corpse in front of the TV 5 years after my death. And yes I'm drunk.
