So you blame the Californians for capitalism? That's a new one! *cough* whiners *cough*

Stupid liberal laws are not capitalism. They claim (their fearless leaders) that its "progressive" but flushing a **** down the toilet is also progressive.

This thread was started with the whining about how Californians  are moving and raising housing prices. Clearly that is a direct effect of capitalism and not some liberal law. I just found the fact that anti-socialists are whining about capitalism delightfully ironic.

kalifornia has great weather and is a large state.

People want to be here because of that and it has such a good economy.   We will put up with a lot to have good weather and make lots of money.

As we get older and aquire wealth here, we get enough that we don't need to live in the sprawl.    Don't need to be near the money.   Plenty of young people waiting to take our place sooooo....

Our homes that no longer appeal to us are sold to young people who want to be near the action for insane high money.

There are very rural areas in kalifornia still.  The weather is not as good and there is no pulsing money machine nearby.  

It is simple evolution..  I lived in los angles as a kid and it was orange orchards and no sidewalks... when it got crowded we moved to the bay area where the weather was not quite as good but it was full of str4awberry fields... now I am in northern kalifornia which was all flat ranch and farm land but is now becoming crowded...  I will move again... maybe one more year.   Someone will pay 6 or 7 hundred thou for my home.. maybe more.

I won't move to a track home in oregon or arizona... I will have a chunk of cash tho so I will get property where I can shoot off the back porch and the weather is not much worse than here and I can build a shop.   The politics won't matter to me.

That is how it works and why it works.

Laz,

Where would you like to move to? I'm also looking to get out of this state (although I don't have so much wealth).

a california couple moved here and bought a home three away from ours.  they paid top dollar for the home, the guy expressing what a great value it was.  a month or so later they bought a second home in the community for his parents or in laws, I forget which.  he says he liked south florida for the weather, lack of congestion and reasonable real estate values.  I can't imagine what southern california must be like now if miami is considered uncongested and reasonably priced.

Don't Californicate Montana, was a bumper sticker I saw all over the place when I did a job up in Libby several years back, and I can't agree more.

The only problem is I live in Northern California. The rest of you think you have problems? NorCal is historicaly pretty conservative, mostly ranchers, farmers, and loggers. Well we use to have loggers but the tree huggers pretty much killed that. The people from the bay area, and LALA land control the state politics because they have the numbers. The LA area alone has more voters than all of NorCal combined. Oh and just a FYI as far as I'm concerned Northern California starts at Red Bluff, and ends at the Oregan border.

We have the same problem as those in NV, OR, or MT, the people from SoCal sell there cracker box house for 500k move up here buy a mansion bank the rest, then complain that it's not like SF, or LA. (which I reply thank gawd).

SIK1....why don't you northern Californians secede?  Then you could apply for admission to the Union as the Northern Republic of California.  I doubt those in Lala land would have the sand to try to force you to stay.

I sure wouldn't mind two more republican senators.

[Shuckins]

And a few Republican House members.

Actually, the number of house members doesn't change.  It's set at 435.  And if those areas have republican house members to start with, nothing will change, nor if it is the other way around as well.

laser....You're right......I was thinking about how a new state is guaranteed at least one House member by Article I of the Constitution, regardless of the size of its population.

[Shuckins]

laser...On the other hand, the newly elected state legislature with a Republican majority could jerrymand the districts in order to marginalize any surfer-dude/valley girl immigrant populations.
