Completely agree. Because at the state level we are ruled by lunatics, conservatives tend to cluster together in very red enclaves. We make a concerted effort to ignore Sacramento and vehemently fight to keep to keep our communities safe and pleasant. There are plenty of very nice places to live in Orange County, Ventura County and even LA County. My crime-free coastal enclave is pretty close to heaven aside from the insane taxes and a school district I can't trust (hardly unique to California). Fortunately my kids are in an excellent Christian (LCMS) school. Plus 70 degrees virtually year round is hard to beat.
I my experience most of the people taking gratuitous pot shots at California have never been here and say this stuff out of some sort of gloating, inflated sense of (false) superiority. That's human nature after all, it makes people feel better about themselves to denigrate the situations of others.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Newsom or any of the other people who are seemingly hell-bent on destroying the quality of life for people without enough money to live in a nice area. Plus we'll get out once I retire but that's due to taxes and cost of living. In the meantime I'll enjoy my very pleasant life in coastal California.
