Literally everything you just stated is pure opinion and has no valid evidence other than silly speculations. Have you ever even lived in California before? Because if you have then you’d know NONE of the cities I’v mentioned are in the desert. The climate in coastal Southern California is a dry Mediterranean climate with semi-arid landscape. (From Santa Monica to about 130 miles inland in Beaumont. The marine layer still reaches out that far a cools down the weather nice on such days).

I never said people in the valley go to the beach everyday, but it is definitely a part of the culture and lifestyle. Not even in Irvine the beach is a part of everyday life because people need to work.

Interior California’s growth is proof that people still want to live here. If you’re too lazy to drive a simple hour to the beach than you deserve to relocate to Arizona. Better for us residents having one less person on the road. I’d choose 1 hour hour drive to the beach over 8 hours from Arizona any day and most people would agree.

Have you ever lived in any of these cities? A "hot hellhole"? It sounds as if you've never even spent a night in any of them.

Many--if not most--people who live in these cities did not buy in the last five years, and paid fairly reasonable prices for their homes. And not everyone needs to go to the beach weekly to be happy living wherever they are.

Speak for yourself. I know of NO ONE who would move to AZ, TX, FL, or NV. Better quality of life in those states? That's debatable.

It’s a GOOD thing that residents are leaving because it’s usually the lower educated, less ambition individuals that are better off somewhere else where the cost of living is lower. The ones entering California are higher salary earners and can support to financially support the COL.

Or perhaps it is those of us with an education vass enough to appreciate four distinct seasons and the knowledge that there is "life out there"

What your giving is opinion too. And it's bogus. I live 10 miles from the beach and it takes me a hour to get there and then pay 15.00 for fight for a parking spot. I go maybe twice a year to take my dog there. What do you mean about the Irvine sentence?? It made no sense. And Phoenix AZ is 5 hours away... You really should get out of the valley more.

People moved inland because they had to to escape the gangs and maybe afford a house. And they're willing to put up with the negatives. Sure some people don't want to leave Ca my sister is one of them they're moving to Temecula area. But not because they can't bare to leave the beach she dosn't want to be far from her kids.

What's the problem?

All the new homeless taking the place of tax paying, working citizens don't shower or wash clothes...just sniff as you drive by their "homes". That is the charm of an entitlement state.

Based on how he responded to my post, I now realize
Bruin1983 opinion > greater value than everyone else's opinion because . . . well he's just right and we are wrong.

As soon as 1 leave 3 will come in. That is how it has always been.

Tankless water heaters reduce the amount of energy to heat the water and have little to do with the amount of water being used. Unless you also have installed a recirculating hot water system you still have the couple of gallons being wasted for the heated water to reach the further away fixtures.

Two of those three would be illegals, they would stay for the freebie handouts. The other would stay a few years. Finally to leave having learned that the over taxation, long commutes, horrid NIMBYs, overrated climate with dirty, dry air was not worth staying.

Except it's working people and employers who are leaving. The incoming tide is homeless, welfare recipients, refugees, grifters, criminals, illegal aliens, gang members...
