Eh. 65 degrees and sunny today 5 miles from the beach... I'll go ahead and stay in California. There are things more important than money.
I agree. Palo Alto has great weather. The city is a short train ride away. Half Moon Bay is at the bottom of the hill. Pro sports, Stanford football, and too many other benefits to mention. I've known people who have left for Texas, Florida, or other "low-tax" states only to regret it. They get you everywhere. Life is short. Live where you are happy. If you're not happy with the system, try and change it.

The OP is about California and welfare, not weather and taxes...
HT, California has been a progressive liberal heaven and home base for illegals and welfare cheats for how long?
With the election of Gov Moonbeam it should have been apparent that California would not do anything to discourage, develop programs or revise the laws to remove people from their welfare rolls.
It is the state that lets this welfare travesty continue so how can one not slam the state?
For these kind of silly, ignorant rants. The insulting insinuation that people here in California, myself included, are too stupid or "liberal" to consider the consequences of helping our society deal with real problems of high unemployment and poverty. If you can't understand it, fine, nobody would force you to live here. Most people who live in California would not live anywhere else. Well let me rephrase that, we would live somewhere else but we are happy here.

Have you looked at WHY you have such high unemployment? What about your state's budget problems? (Yes, I'm aware of the constitutional amendment that required a 2/3 vote to increase taxes, but spending still could have been cut.)
