I plan on it as soon as I get everything sorted out. LA is okay. It's just the government.

Yup I hear you. Most are pretty ignorant about how badly run the government is so it doesn't bother them too much.

Where do you plan to move?

Then why do you live in a place with the most dysfunctional government in the region, which is also out of step with your politics?

Why are you in the city of L.A. with its dysfunctional loony-left politics, as opposed to a more right leaning place near you like Santa Clarita or Simi, or a more moderate place like Glendale?

Anywhere in the Southwest, as long as it's not in California. I used to say I would never leave regardless, but got see the reality of things.

My work's moved to the IE. I'll move there at some point. Although I'd really like to leave the state.

Because most of us can't afford to buy a house, much less a $1200 hole in the wall every month.

My SO's mother lives here and is elderly. She doesn't want to leave her. Otherwise I'd be gone like a mother f'er. I'm gonna start throwing out banana peels in front of the MIL soon. j/k.
