Thank you for your service, I can't imagine that's an easy job and is only made more challenging and dangerous by the homeless/mentally ill. Appreciate you, bud.

Agree to disagree; the only people California's lost its allure to is SOME Californians. Now, to be fair, the urban areas are overpopulated, traffic is obnoxious, taxes are ridiculous and it's a politically confused climate. People are leaving, and others are coming, the tide is turning, change is inevitable. California's weather and natural beauty is not going away anytime soon, that much is for certain, but 3 years of drought takes its toll, too.

I looked at Oregon and Nevada (northern Nevada) and those areas are prime for ex-pat Californians, and will likely become little-Los Angeles in less than 10 years. I've set my sights slightly further east and north, personally, but time will tell.
