Reality check. You need to take care of infrastructure, bridges, streets, etc. Californians have been avoiding maintenance for years. The bill is due. Suck it up. It is not a left/right issue. Would you change your worn out tires? Would you change the oil in your engine? We’ve had a dearth of leaders willing to take care our once world class transportation system. Now we do.
Good article. Totally agree.
You’ve done it again, Betty.I wonder if there are enough voters in this State who will take heed. Somehow, I doubt that.
Betty,
Then when ever will you leave for the Great State of Texas? Or Oklahoma? Or North Dakota? Or….?
Alabama beckons…
Being born and raised in Connecticut and constantly dreaming about living in California, and after living in Florida for about 10 years, I finally relocated to Santa Clarita in 1999. While living in California for the 16 years that I did, I never, ever thought I’d move out. I loved life in California, but the reality of finances and high taxes were always on my coattails. As I crept closer to retirement age, as much as I hated to, I realized there was just no way I could possibly afford to retire there. So with tears in my eyes, my wife and I packed up the Penske truck and moved back to Florida in 2015. It’s not bad here if you can learn to deal with oppressive humidity in the summer months and I did buy a brand new house for cash, but I do miss living in California every single day! Very sad! It’s reaching the point of where only the rich can afford to live there.
I lived in Stevenson Ranch from 1999 to 2015, but the high cost of living and high taxes chased me out. I miss California every day. Florida is just not the same, but it’s not bad and WAY more affordable!
Californians will elect Gavin Newson Governor by a huge margin, perhaps a landslide. As the Trump folk are so fond of saying, elections count. Under often liberal regimes over the last six decades (there are some exception) Somehow, poor, failing California keeps moving up the economic ladder. In May it became the 5th largest economy in the world behind the US, China, Japan and Germany.
