    Addresses some of societal ills and legitimate reactions to it. The crux is people are fleeing societal ills to friendlier confines of Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada and even New Mexico. Seems many are weighing the benefits of diversity against higher taxes, higher crime, poorer schools, more negroes (they left that one out curiously LOL) and fleeing California for decent places to live.

    Last I checked, California was still gaining in population. People may be moving out of the big cities (LA, San Fran, SD) for the soft countryside of the redwood forests, Napa Valley, and Tahoe. But still in the state.

    You are partially right, though. Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona are all gaining in population. But maybe black folks will move to those places too. Are you saying diversity is a bad thing? Running from problems won't fix them.

    Not even White Sox GM Kenny Williams would make that trade!

    Hundreds of thousands of taxPAYERS leaving California in the last few years for hundreds of thousands of taxRECIPIENTS sneaking in. The pertinent question is when will the financial institutions based in California realize there is no reason for them to be their either. A good earthquake may just be the final shakeup.
