Yep, moved from CA right after Ronald Reagan (67-75) left the governorship and Jerry Brown 75-83) took over. 1976, moved to WA State, great place under Dan Evans (65-77), with alternating party of governors. Then things got worse under Dixie Ray Lee (77-81) (I won't tell you what we called her back then, it would be politically incorrect). Lately WA has been all D's. Moved to Eastern WA, still under the D's but at least they mostly ignore us over here. A lot of manufactured homes, and a lot of WWII homes in the area. There is so much opportunity for someone to do fixer-uppers, but few seem to care, I’m retired and to old. Average stick built and upper end housing is rare, except in certain outlying areas, but also extremely affordable after coming from Western WA. So we've got a lot of potholes in our roads, but it's really not so bad once you start remembering where they all are. I expect to die here, perhaps sitting in my chair, on my covered (originally illegal but got it signed off) dock, with a fishing pole in my hand, eating a raw ground beef (cannibal) sandwich (my dad taught me when we lived in Wauwatosa WI), with Walla Walla sweet onion, on some great fresh Jewish Rye with seeds, salt, and some pepper, and a can of beer (born in Milwaukee). I’ve finally learning what’s most important in my life.

Funny you say this. I have family in Nevada, and was leaning heavily toward it. But, when I really started looking into the lawmaking there recently it became very clear to me that the leftists have infiltrated. Not doing that again...

Move where? I'm in Las Vegas also and despise the state and local political scene, but I don't see anywhere in the U.S. (or the world for that matter) that is better enough to make a move worthwhile.

Because a Liberal is a Liberal. They can't seem to help it. For one example...look at the Jewish people in New York City. The Conservatives continue to support Israel and the Democrats don't, but the Jewish people in NYC continue to vote for Democrats. They are insane hard-core leftists.

I first moved to Arizona in 1961 from LA. If you think you have seen changes, I have stories to tell. Since then have lived in CA from 1967 for another 20 years, then in and out of the country since. I'd love to see California go on its own and we just sit and watch Gov Moonbeam explain it.

Probably just small rural towns where government isnt big enough yet. Vegas used to be much more freedom loving when I moved here in 91. Now its another california. One can see how it is collapsing little by little. There just isnt much wealth left here.

I am too old to move to south america. I have been thinking of Arizona, but they have both sales and income taxes. I am getting interested in minimalism and pretty much withdrawing from society so I dont need to make so much money and pay so much tax

Chile. I must see Chile.

There's the oldie description of California: "California is like granola, once you get past the fruits and nuts, all you have left are the flakes."

I am given to understand that hogs will revert back to a wild appearance in very few generations. How it happens I do not know. There are a ton of YouTube videos of hog hunting....as a hate filled old evil white guy, I can watch hogs...and any other vermin for that matter, getting a cap busted on them for hours on end. It never gets old for me.

It will be freestatewest.com and I'll make the announcement ASAP. Thank you.
