Where was I, oh, N Orange Co last saturday. Getting in and out of a corner strip mall as almost impossible with the traffic. I grew up in this city, and it was just a quiet little burb at the LA border. I not sure what the population is compared to what it was in 1980, but it's nuts. The fields are now huge corporations...it has completely changed. There are a few old time streets left with those long driveways with multiple dwellings on them. But sheesh.
And it has a Costco, which was fought and fought by a evangelical church. The little restaurants were so successful there they now are big restaurants, run by families. Claim Jumper started there...don't have to tell you about what happened with them. BUT, as Brizzzy will confirm, the "Pasty" kitchen is still there making little meat pies, 40 years+.
I'm sure wherever they droves are leaving from, it is probably a place noone wants to live. I know the Salton Sea is in demise.

I wonder where the droves are moving out of? I could use a break.
Neighborhoods in a 70 mile radius of me are robust, very few houses for sale, the malls, grocery stores, Costco, restaurants are packed. Certain areas have changed from blue collar anglo to white collar asian, in large numbers. The streets on weekends are just packed in the city and suburbs with people out taking care of business.
I'm sure the numbers support what all the critics are saying, and certain industries have been hard hit, and it is expensive to do business here. But there is still a massive amount of commerce here. I'm by the port of LA/Long Beach...I'm not sure there is a busier port in the world. My niece just moved to Texas, her husband's family is there. She said rent is slightly less, but goods are more expensive that Cali. Since it is cold in the winter, their utility bills are higher than here. But the husband got work there, and only through a friend, and they couldn't get that going here in Cali.
Trade offs.

Not me, that's for damn sure. I just love love love the weekends. I've worked late every day this week so this weekend is especially sweet.
My book study in the Congo I was in was Saturday morning. That coupled with Sunday morning meeting was grueling. Not Sunday rotation because we were the only Congo in the hall. No wonder why I almost lost my mind, no breaks, little time for myself. And all the people there also feeling the pressure, and really, felt sorry for some of the brothers sho worked full time, carried family and Congo responsibilities.
One day during a Sunday wt study I snapped and never went back. I was done done done.

I was thinking the same thing Tater, who "hates" a state? Stupid poll.
Mind you, I'm a native, and the sheer volume of humanity is getting to me where I live. I envision retiring someplace a wee bit more peaceful. I know when and if I return to SoCal, I'll hate the traffic and overcrowding more than I do now.

The Ahwahnee is on my bucket list. Been there several times for brunch. Camped on the river, but went to the Ahwahnee for brunch...which I liked the combination of opposite experiences. It's really a special place in a special place.

This subject I have struggled with. Glad to read the posts, still trying to sort my way through.
The one thing I feel certain of is my right to choose.

Heretics, are we ?
by gerrywoodham inthe early christian church with heroes like waldenses, wycliffe, huss,jerome and countless others suffered at the hands of the church of rome in similar ways to the wbts aside from burnings !
a reent quote" they were accused of heresy, every thing heretical including writings or persons rome sought to destroy,expressions of doubt or questions as to the authority of papal dopgma was enough to forfeit property position and even life whatever your status.
rome endeavoured to destroy every record oif her cruelty toward dissenters.
