    Unfortunately I don't think Republicans like much of what Crist is selling...

    The choice seems fairly simple. I guess we'll see how close Republicans are to being reasonable.

    I don't know about Floridians generally but DeathSantis supporters sure don't like California. Where state law guarantees equal legal rights for LGBTQ people. We don't ban books. Students learn history. Abortion is legal.
    We like it this way.

    Probably why so many Californians are relocating to Florida and Tennessee. We talk to them every day.

    Lol they might say that to you, but most of them are moving because costs are less. That isn't new. You lived in Oregon, you know that.

    My post was duly edited.

    Point is, lots and lots of Californians moving down here. They don't give a rip what Gavin has to say nor what he does,

    Any Californian who wants to burn books and hate gays is welcome to leave.

    What book bannings are you even talking about? Lefties are putting trigger warnings on everything and embracing post modernist bs, which is anti-science. You've been duped by authoritarianism, criminal liars who declare themselves the science.

    The left denies reality, even on such basic things as male/female, and still they like to think of themselves as being tbis enlightened party of science.

    The MAGA’s are absolutely losing their minds about student debt forgiveness but have absolutely no problem whatsoever with a military budget of $800 billion.
    Let’s ban some more books! Trump 2024!

    Banning books and poor writing skills go hand in hand (oh dear, does that sound gay?)

    IMHO best way to learn to write grammatical coherent English is read a lot of books.

    Californians are moving everywhere. They are getting priced out because California is so desirable.

    https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-07-29/california-exodus-continues-l-a-san-francisco-lead-the-way#:~:text=Wealth, class and remote work,as people flee big cities&text=Kahn also pointed out that,life are driving out residents.

    California exodus continues, with L.A., San Francisco leading the way: ‘Why are we here?’

    After living in the Bay Area for nearly seven years, Hari Raghavan and his wife decided to leave for the East Coast late last year.

    They were both working remotely and wanted to leave California because of the high cost of living and urban crime.So they made a list of potential relocation cities before choosing Miami for its sunny weather and what they perceived was a better sense of safety.

    Raghavan said that their Oakland house had been broken into four times and that prior to the pandemic, his wife called him every day during her seven-minute walk home from the BART station because she felt safer with someone on the phone. After moving to Miami, Raghavan said they accidentally left their garage door open one day and were floored when they returned home and found nothing had been stolen.

    “We moved to the Bay Area because we had to be there if you want to work in tech and start-ups, and now that that’s no longer a tether, we took a long hard look and said, ‘Wait, why are we here again?’ ” Raghavan said.

    He said there wasn’t much draw in California’s quality of life, local or social policies, or cost of living. “That forced us to question where we actually wanted to live,” he said.

    An acceleration of people leaving coastal California began during the first year of the pandemic. But new data show it continued even after lockdowns and other COVID restrictions eased.

    California ranks second in the country for outbound moves — a phenomenon that has snowballed during the pandemic, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, which tracked data from moving company United Van Lines. Between 2018 and 2019, California had an outbound move rate of 56%. That rate rose to nearly 60% in 2020-21.

    Citing changes in work-life balance, opportunities for remote work and more people deciding to quit their jobs, the report found that droves of Californians are leaving for states like Texas, Virginia, Washington and Florida. California lost more than 352,000 residents between April 2020 and January 2022, according to California Department of Finance statistics.......

    You'll notice all of the states people are moving to have lower cost of living than California.

    I'd be happy if droves of people left Oregon.

    Here is @ABM after saying a snarky response then pasting articles that don't really mean what he thinks they mean to back up his argument.

    Nah, many people just don't like living in California anymore - for many, many reasons. That was just one article. It's the reverse Beverly Hillbillies effect.
