Quoted from rx3:CA is absolutely horrible! PLEASE nobody come here and everyone here, please move out ASAP! /s
I cannot tell you how many Californians I've personally met/worked with here in Oregon that sold their home in CA and literally over paid for a house here (bidding war) because they could. They ended up getting a much bigger/better house and still have ass loads of money left over. You don't want anyone else there? Then please tell your people to stay there and stop coming here and driving the market prices up. Nothing personal brother but I have been to "parts" of CA. Twice. Both times several years apart. The only thing that place has to offer is warm weather and warm waves in my personal opinion. Everything else "to me" is wrong.
I used to live in Phoenix AZ. The first time I drove to California there was LITERALLY a WALL of smog. I don't remember exactly where that wall started but literally a wall that eventually you drove into and you never really quite come out of it. San Diego used to be such a beautiful place. In my personal opinion that place is so much worse off now as are the other areas I've visited. At the end of the day I don;t see any cities actually getting better because mankind is just continuously getting worse. Full on degradation. This planet deserves an asteroid shoved up our asses because we no longer serve a greater purpose.
