[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved here from D.C. A few years ago and hate it.  The area sucks (filthy, so many homeless people, terrible public transportation), the housing is so expensive (and were also lawyers).  I don't understand the mentality of spending so much to get so little.  It's really left a bad taste in my mouth.  i hope to move in the next year.[/quote]

The past ten years it has really gone down hill in California.

I can't believe that regular job holding bill paying citizens of many parts that state haven't openly revolted yet.

We lived there twice. Once in the late 90s/2000 and later around 10-12.  The difference in squalor vs cleanliness in those two time periods was significant.[/quote]
Revolt? Nobody cares. Those who care leave.[/quote]

While I agree that SF is filthy, California is still a gorgeous and stunning place to live. I feel blessed to be here. Friendly people, sunshine, nature.
Lots of anti-California messaging is happening lately. I'm suspicious of it. After all, if people truly want to target high tax states, then why not target NJ or CT? If people want to target states with high Latino populations, then why not TX, NM or AZ? If people want to target states with poor schools, why not all the states in the south?

California is a beacon of opportunity, a wonderful place to live, and unfortunately expensive.

 It's not anti-California messaging. It's a sad reality. It's not unfortunately expensive, it's completely unaffordable. [/quote]

California is huge. Unfair to categorize it based solely on just the SF area. [/quote]
Tell me, please, about an affordable area of California that is full of opportunities and a wonderful place to live. I will move there today.[/quote]

I used to live in San Diego.  More affordable than DC, lots of opportunities in many fields.[/quote]
