Says my cousin who sold his home in LA and moved to TX after 40 years in SFV, OC, West LA, Monterey. At least he knows what it was and what it became. There are fewer of those who knew CA State what it was and what it became, according to their experiences. Any opinion can be challenged, but it sure resonates with those who knew the better times in CA. It's still a heaven for those who escaped persecution, or groups that have hard time to be accepted in some other states. Wile A new statewide poll found 70% of respondents expressed high levels of happiness with living in California and applaud the state for its diversity. Yet 4 in 10 Californians considering moving out of state, with the majority saying it’s too expensive to live there and rising crime.
I have a nephew that moved from California to Oklahoma about a year ago. He was happy at first because he sold his California house and bought a larger house with lots of land and had lots of money left over. He hasn't found a job yet in Oklahoma construction. He has to fly to California and live with his mother while he works at his old job in California. While his family is in Oklahoma. He can't move back because his house value in Oklahoma crashed. This kind of opinion article has been common for the past 20 years or so.
Not easy but easier. I live in one of the poorest countries in the country. But it requires much less money to get by here, to get basic food and shelter, than it might in Oakland CA. Also, as everyone is pretty much poorer there’s less stigma.
Too true. I grew up there on welfare and food stamps. Not fun. You can be rich there. You can be poor there. But it's hard to be middle class there.
