Thank you, have you set a date? I like to remind folks that there are 62 paved roads that leave the state, and many more dirt roads.

I wish more people would leave! A governement that keeps lowering taxes for the rich and only spends money on so called "defense" is seen as benevolent and freedom loving, a governement that raises taxes to balance the budget and tries to provide it's citizens with a little help is seen as brutal tyrants.

Actually, I'd say the two examples you raise are examples of two different examples of tyranny. Too often, we get to vote on which brand of tyranny we want while the elites laugh as we argue and fight with each other about which brand of tyranny is "better".

Coastal CA - yes very populated... I don't really know when the threshold is crossed into "overpopulated" but yes highly populated. Interior CA - not at all. Most of the counties near the NV state line are incredibly sparsely populated.

Born in Detroit ... grew up there, Philly, and D.C.
Can't get rid of enough people out of any of those cities, if you ask me ...

I lay claim to the entire Pacific west coast south of the Canadian border -- and including the Hawaiian islands -- yes. You betcha, hoss

But I share with nice people.

California is overpopulated.
I was in the L.A. area last week, and my god! I was driving for two hours and nothing but urban sprawl, after urban sprawl, downtown L.A., then another hour of urban sprawl. I didn't notice any parks or very much nature.

People need to learn to breed responsibly.
Anyone having more than two kids is a burden to society and our environment.
