Loved the view in rear mirror
Hate....no
Just very glad to leave.
Beautiful state!
Lousy politics, ridiculous rules/regulations, heavy socialist leaning ideas and way too 'liberal' for my beliefs.
Why didn't I leave sooner?
Dang good paying job that provided for my family......plain and simple.
Pretty close to the same for me. In the Navy 84-88 in San Diego. Stayed and loved it for a lot of years. Just left in January. Stayed and left for the same reasons you mention. It is a shame it was a great state for ALL at one time. Wish San Diego could succeed and for it's own state from camp pendelton south.
