Quote: California never was.

The west has long been poisoned by a steady, seemingly endless suppoly of californians getting out, who sell their ridiculously expensive homes and buy a mountain or a mansion somewhere outside of californiastan; who move into some place in the west and immediately declare "we need to do it like we did in california" and attempt to change their new home to be more like the place they just escaped, and who complain endlessly about life outside california, and who reminice about how good california used to be.

It was never good.
It was good, 30+ years ago. Assuming you were willing to pay higher home prices for the weather and beach.

Nostalgia is often sweeter than fact.

I remember it too well from 30 and 40 years ago to believe the sepia tones of fond memory.

There was just too much cultural chutzpah and arrogance to see it. The rest of the west saw it just fine.
