How I feel where I live. Go back to your hole. All you did was come here, jack up property taxes and increase traffic. Now you’re trying to turn the Great State of Texas liberal blue. You are not welcome here!

“If you come here and love it, everything’s fine,” Roscoe said. “If you come here and fly that California flag in your driveway and have stickers on your car that say, ‘Santa Cruz,’ there’s going to be some hard feelings.”

Saw it myself when I lived outside of Salt Lake City.
Overpopulation in California and people started moving. Idaho, Utah, etc.
Once a week I was in Pocatello and heard about the Californians moving in and buying up property. They were not looked upon well.

We’re seeing the same thing in NW Montana. We had our first ‘stick to the road’ snow today. You could pick them out.

Saw the influx start in the early mid 90's when all the "ranchettes" started to be built in the Bitterroot Vally.

They've turned Whitefish into just a clone of any other ski town now. Once was a quaint railroad town that had a ski area

Fortunately it takes a little bit more effort for them to get up here.

Back in the 60s, when I was a kid, Colorado folks considered Texans to be the worst type of immigrant.

Then the Californians started to arrive.

I remember that myself....and the bumper stickers that said, 'Don't Californicate Colorado'.

Now look at the state!

Read the article. But be sure to read all the comments too. Those comments reaffirm the article.

I’ve only traveled to Texas a few times but I do admire the Texas lifestyle, economy, respect for the rule of law, etc. I said some time ago California emigration is going to ruin the state and turn it blue. Some Texans said I was crazy. I still say it’s going to happen sooner than later. Liberals attempt to escape their own insanity only to recreate it again in their new home.

Yeah, the comments were interesting. Quite a few were indignant at the thought that others states don’t want them. It was self-confirmation of the all the reasons people elsewhere hope they stay where they are. It’s only going to get worse. I remember Prescott, Arizona’s first drive-by shooting. I went to junior college in Prescott; it used to be one of my favorite towns in the West.

I heard the same chants & refrains from the good folks in Seattle in the 90’s. They were onto something then. Just look what happened in Seattle since?

The backlash needs to be 10x as severe as it is now for those Cali fucktards to finally sense they are not wanted.

Read some of the comments. WOW! Self-admitted arrogant assholes and they still can’t understand why they are unwanted in Idaho.

Know this trend all too well. I fear too that one day in the future we may see Florida turning more blue than it currently is due to the flocks of north easterners moving to get out of the snow and corruption and often bringing it with them here.

I grew up in Boise in the 50s/60s/70s. Have
to admit the various predictions of calamity & congestion were accurate. Just visited a couple weeks ago. Was familiar with projected growth anticipated 50 years ago, never quite believed it.

My uncle's place was wayWayWAY out in the country, 5 miles+ from pavement. Now that's solid housing with SoCal street names.

Add Las Vegas to the list of places where Californians have spread their shitstain.

BTW, how did you all read the article? I keep getting subscribe prompt.

With the Safari browser when I click on a link in the url addy window there is a symbol on the very left within the window called 'the reader view', when you click on it it gives you mostly the edited topic text of the page without all the pop-ups or ads, very cool feature for eliminating the unwanted junk.


This is what you'll see by clicking on "the reader view"



Instead of this when you just click on the link..

Yavapai County AZ (metro Prescott) is full of Californians. They've contributed to the traffic congestion which the roads were never intended to carry.

They're cash buyers so they think they have the upper hand if buying a home. They live here but still think and act like their Californians.

The Californication of Colorado is well under way. Mostly retirees, sell the 2-bedroom bungalow in SoCal for mega-bucks, move to Colorado, buy a McMansion for half the proceeds of their California dump, then immediately start demanding that Colorado change to suit their California tastes (and politics).

There is an outdoor range in our county, up to 400M high-power rifle and everything else down to 25 yard handgun, archery, etc. Been there for over 30 years. Nearby properties started being developed 15 years ago, now the new arrivals are complaining about gunshot noise and shooting around a residential area. Seriously, what did they expect when they bought an acre lot next door to a hundred acres developed specifically for a shooting range (with a couple thousand active members and competitions at least a couple times every month)?

Property values have risen sharply, driven by bidding wars (houses selling for more than asking price, more than appraisal value), which drives property taxes up for all other properties in the area.

Every nut-case group engaged in protests (vegan, socialists, animal rights, anti-gun, you name it). Retired teachers running for school boards (to teach us how to do it the California way). Local politics and elections are turning into comedy routines.

Seems there are a lot of folks who want to get away from high living costs, congestion, traffic, crime, etc, but they end up importing the same conditions here.

Rant over.

I don't see what's so hard to understand. If you find a place you like and decide to move there, you should emulate the people who are there, not make them emulate you.
