It is certainly best for my family. Better to live where there is little crime or homelessness...where people still respect each others views enough to allow them to speak...than where exercising one's Constitutional rights is no longer allowed. Really no COVID scare/problems (except nursing homes closed to visitors per the state). Life goes on like it always has.

My local Walmart has not run out of anything I have needed this year and the prices are probably much lower than anything where you live...they are certainly less expensive than other choices for most things...so I am very satisfied with it.

I have lived all over the world (and all over the U.S.)...including California (yes, as pointed out, I was not wealthy or drive a Porsche turbo and park in Beverly Hills...so maybe I missed something). While I would love to live in parts of CA because of climate (and can certainly afford to now)...it is badly broke...and has been for a while. I own nine homes in six states currently...and would choose any of those ahead of CA at this moment. There are a lot of great people there (including some that post here), but if they don't see the problems, they choose not to (or simply have not lived elsewhere) Obviously some are there strictly for financial reasons or because their family/home is there...but that should not blind anyone to reality. It just is not what is once was...or could be.

Apparently you have chosen to live elsewhere as well.
