Typical liberals, we know what’s best for you. Any American Citizen stuck in that shithole deserves what they get at this point. It’s clear the government hates Americans and loves illegals.

Pretty harsh, but pretty accurate assessment there Boz....As someone that was born and raised here, I can tell you it was not always like this. There are many things about Cal, and particularly SoCal that are great, and up until 5 or so years ago I couldn`t imagine living anywhere else....but with this tree hugging liberal government here seemingly embracing every immigrant mutt and filthy hobo on the planet, its no longer what it was....The bums and illegal cockroaches are welcomed here with open arms. You can`t really go to any establishment without someone trying to speak Spanish to you, or go to the market without seeing some fat pig with ankles the size of grapefruits and wearing flip flops and toting around her 6 kids while her husband stands in front of a Home Depot bullshitting with his amigos all day....My work, family, the beach, snow,racetracks,casinos, great restaurants, great looking women are all still here, but when I`m of retirement age, I`m on the first think smoking and heading East
Key, - we left San Diego 15 years ago this June. Was the best decision we ever made. Was born and raised there. My parents have passed but my brother and in-laws are still down there. We went down in early January to see family before covid fears were on anyone's mind. Aside from family and great restaurants I hated it. Urban, suburbia hell. The street I grew up on where we didn't come in til the street lights came on was wall to wall parked cars on both sides of the street and in people's driveways. As if there were multiple families living in every house. Horrible. I keep telling my brother that he doesn't have to stay in one place his whole life. When he visits us he marvels at how quiet it is, all the trees and wildlife and best of all the distance between properties measured in acres instead of feet.
Danny, am surprised to hear that, I love me some San Diego!...only 2 hours from L.A. but always thought of it as light years. Especially some of of the surrounding cities like Del Mar, La Jolla and Carlsbad....I always thought of myself as a big city person. I never have minded the traffic much and actually enjoy the action and hustle and bustle that a major metropolis has to offer. I live in a pretty quiet suburb of LA so I kinda got the best of both words, or so I thought....Its everything else that I mentioned in my post above that makes me sick...Those trees and wildlife and quiet you mentioned are sounding more appealing by the day
