...you really don't mean this right? California has the best cops, spectacular beaches, epic mountains, forests with giant trees, great food, and happy sunny people.
I moved here in '78, we had the best schools, best highway system, best growing biotech/pharma community, decent wages, reasonable property taxes, fair civil rights and a governor named Brown. Now we have (almost) the worst schools, crumbling highway system, collapsing economy, dropping wages, new fees for everything imaginable, far fewer civil rights, and...wait for it... again, a governor named Brown whose public service union allowance the first time around gave us what we've got now. Some of us stay here to finish our kid's education and tell the story as a warning to other states visitors... :)
