But Mejifornia is a liberal utopia! So why does everyone want to leave?
That is a big broad brush.
Historically California has had important positives, including weather, scenery, jobs etc.
And recently too many people, and too high taxes.
Current events often preview what is coming widely to the entire country soon.
Like it or not. Good, bad, ugly.
Moon shots, computers, Rock & country music. Television & films. And far more history than meets the quick glance.
I have concluded one important characteristic of the people:
Risk taking, adventurers. The types not just settling for North America, but rather heading 3.000 hard miles across it.
And coming from other continents, Europe, Americas, Asia. We generally get along.
