Washington in the process of moving to Montana:
The good: No income tax in WA.
Had a great career in WA with a pension.
Best spring and summers hands down.
My boys still working and going to school here.
The bad 3rd highest gas tax soon to be the highest in WA.
Ski resorts blown out in 45 minutes after 1st chair.
Gov Inslee rolling counties back to phase 2 for COVID.
Off road motorcycle events cancelled for a second year in a row.
My Boys will still be in WA.

Prince George BC Canada. 4Seasons, not many people and almost every body drives a pick up truck
So Cal, eastern LA County just north of Orange County. Why? All of our families (both mine and the wife's) came to LA in 1905 when LA had 105,000 people. Roots run deep.
The good, 1 in every 100 people in the United States lives in my viewshed from my living room. That creates enormous economic opportunity.
The bad, 1 in every 100 people in the United States lives in my viewshed from my living room. It's beyond crowded.
The strange, this state has gone looney. While everything has been going crazy and politicians scream for policies that make no sense whatsoever my neighborhood is very quiet. The LA County Sheriff lives up the street. We have excellent police protection.

How the fuck, honest question, how the FUCK did we let the communists claim all the best coastal states leaving us the humid swamp ones?Renton Washington
Here for Boeing career, now attached to my house of 30 years and friends/family too old to move
2 houses and business buildings on site
Pros:
Beautiful places in Western Washington
Able to confront the anti-American Left on their home turf
Close to Eastern Washington escape to sanity
2nd amendment
Cons:
Kids indoctrinated in public schools K-16
Communist politicians
Mail in voting
High taxes
Sanctuary cities
More available on request
I love living near the ocean but I'm all set with the gulf coast all the way up through the mid atlantic. The northeast and basically entire west coast is gorgeous and all overrun with god damned commies.
Lots of natural beauty in a number of the red "fly over" states but I'd always feel like I was missing something living so far from the sea.
If Washington & California were communist, the more than 60% of this forum those states represent wouldn’t be driving $80K trucks right now. Much ado about nothing.
I think we're just the non communists from the communist shitholes.
I mean in reality it's just the cities, but the districts are drawn up so LA/Frisco/SD have all the power. By population, CA is nearly split by among the 2 parties. But the Dems have a stranglehold on the whole state.
There are certainly shit loads of truck/gun/'merica loving people in these states, it's just that their votes have been silenced.
I don’t know about that. This state has a mixed bag of policies. Look at the complaints in this thread. Many of the complaints are about realities that are in direct contrast to any progressive agenda, or certainly any popular vote by city dwelling populations.
Prop 13 is still what shifts the cost burden of the state onto income and sales taxes and it sure wasn’t the Democrats or city populations that got that passed.
I also think communist is a loaded word that isn’t to be used lightly. We’re far from communism here.
we have sitting congress people who are unabashed socialists. Socialists are just communists who are too ashamed to admit what they are.
Marxist bull shit is taught in schools. No, I don't think it's that much of a stretch to say CA is a commie shithole. No, it's not actually/literally communist(yet) but if some of these leftist politicians had their way it would be. This state and the whole country are on a very dangerous slide to the left.
I don't know, maybe you like paying half your income in taxes to be pissed away by leftists. I don't.
I have a number of friends who fled eastern Europe/ former soviet states and are absolutely appalled by what they're witnessing in America. They all say the same thing, that this is what is was like right before they lost everything over there.
This reads hysterical to my eyes. The only point in here is that the taxes on some are unreasonably high in this country. Agreed. I’d like to take a red pen to local, state, and national budgets. I’d start with the trillion dollars a year we spend on outmoded defense. But that wouldn’t fly well with the walking contradictions that want lower taxes and all that the government offers at once.

No, ? ? ? ..!!
You win. Love Texas. We looked at property just north of Huston in Lake Conroe. Beautiful 1 acre lots. Really nice area .. Met the people that we would be living next to, with all intension he's said, we don't like people from California or Florida. Of course I laughed in his face, pissed him off even more ..
Same here. Born in Yuba City, raised in Oroville. I left so many great friends and family when we moved. It's just not the same place it once was. Thats sad, because there are places there I could live forever.
Funny you say that. I can’t wait to flee NY. Hopefully to Tennessee, but I feel like I won’t be welcomed because I’ll be “one of them”. Lol. And when you say you’re from NY, everyone assumes the shit hole NYC.No no no .. you misunderstood, Florida is full.
