The scariest thing about California I don't think left leaning people realize, is that tons of conservative Californians are leaving.... and many of them are business owners. Not just business owners, but some of the most clever, hard working, helpful, interesting people Ive known. Between 2000 and 2018, several great people I knew died young. I used to say that only the good die young. But now the good also move out of state. My neighbor that would mow my lawn and sweep my sidewalk gutter if I was out of town. Gone to Nevada. Race car driver that owned a mobile office trailer building company. Gone to Idaho. Master electrician that could do work alone that would required engineers to reexplain to regular electricians, gone to Utah. Cabinet company manufacturer, family owned for 30 years. Idaho. The nicest most helpful towing company owner I ever met? Closed down this summer and went to Utah. I'm not exactly sure if I want to live here myself if all that's left is crime, tent cities, and tech workers.
