The question I ask myself is, do I want to live in California? The answer is no. Not even for a short time.
There's a reason why the crowds are moving out of California and similar places and into my region over the past 5-6+ years.
The country as a whole is covered in abandoned factories and homes. Not exactly the picture of a healthy and prosperous nation. Turns out you can't print prosperity.
I'm fine where I'm at, thanks.
