[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 5583248, member: 12508"] Housing is way cheaper in Texas and it has a strong economy and much lower cost of living. CA has a state income tax, and some cities also impose their own additional tax. Some people are leaving due to the politics as well. If you have money, CA can be a very pleasant place to live. If not, SF and LA average areas are very crowded, the traffic is terrible, and the non-monied areas can be downright dangerous. Think Oakland in NorCal and Compton/South LA in SoCal. Stockton, Modesto, and a few other cities are pretty terrible up north, and down south there are too many to list here. Rural CA is very Red, and you don't have to go very far out of the Blue areas to hit Trumpland. Unfortunately, the State of Jefferson and the rest of the Right Wing areas would blow away and die if not for the wealth generated in the Bay Area and SoCal. In other words, as much as Righties in CA complain, they're heavily subsidized by the Blue parts of the state. Even Michael Savage stays in his upscale community despite railing against CA polotics for his entire career. Same with plenty of other Far right types who don't walk their talk. SF is largely a very regular city with a higher than average number of unique individuals and members of the LGBTQ community. It is never in your face unless you go to The Castro or somewhere else gay-dominated. FOX News type stories are mostly crap about SF. Most people are just like people everywhere else in the US.
