Lived in SoCal in the early 70s as a kid. Reagan was governor I believe. Was still a great place. That Cali has been gone a long time. Sad.

No one wishes they could all be California girls any more.

The state geologically and meteorologically is the best the US has to offer. Socially and culturally it is currently insufferable.

The worst part about California is the Californians.

Hard truth is Reagan f’ed up with amnesty and the liberals went hard left and lost their minds.

I lived there in 78-81.
It was well on its way to gone even then.
When I moved out there, I drove.
When I got in the car in BR, my politics were considered liberal.
When I got out in CA 3 days later, my politics were right wing. I knew then it was done.
In 80 when we wanted kids, we didn’t want them raised inCA and left.

California used to be a very successful red state.

Huh? You can thank Reagan directly for that. He gave them amnesty and turned CA blue with a stroke of a pen.

The state is only for the rich elites who can afford to live there & the immigrant serf(Labor) class who gets government assistance & lives 6-8 people to an apartment or small home.


And the irony is that the left has ushered in this economic model. They complain about the 1% but their policies have given Cali the biggest wealth disparity of almost anywhere.

For the middle class, it once was.

Now, you have to have a lot of money to make it enjoyable.

The weather is amazing, the politics are dystopian.

The political landscape there has (largely) ruined California.

Leftists are vile, water is wet.

Outstanding piece that describes how California went from being the most desirable place on Earth to a battlefield between the US and Mexico. Well worth the read.

I agree. Beach Boys music almost makes one cry because that place is truly gone. Once Hollywood is killed off maybe somebody will come to their senses.

plenty of problems, sure. every place has its issues
still rules

I remember my first peyote trip.

I have lived in California. In southern California, specifically. In the South L.A. metro area near the beach in a more affluent area that is now borderline ghetto and unaffordable, to be even more specific. So what part of California makes it the best?

You talking about along the 395 where it's still GOD's country for now? Because even they have been greatly affected by the retarded policies of the coastal elite retards, and are being priced out of the market for basically everything.

Aside from the ghettos in OKC and Tulsa and the state really needing to get their shite together with "medical" weed laws and regulations that have the Chinese making millions to send back to the CCP, there's a strong argument to be made that Oklahoma is by far a better place to live than California. Yeah, I said it, and I meant it, and the argument is tangible depending on your perspective.

I'm telling you straight up that you couldn't pay me 5 million a year to move back to SoCal. I won't even bother listing the hilariously unpleasant things I would rather endure than to reside there again.

As one who lived in the Bay
Area from 78-2005, I really can’t disagree with the posts. But why are so many of the posters, especially those from the South, so obsessed with California. Hardly a day goes by where there is not a topic on Tigerdroppings critical of California. Your obsession of California is bizarre. It’s almost like an obsession. BTW, most Californians don’t really care what you think about them or their state. Find a new bogeyman.

Just gotta hope Cali keeps sending that welfare check to the red states.
