The popular perception is that the people leaving California bring their politics with them and vote for the same things they did in California, therefore making their new state just as miserable as the parts of California they fled.

There was a big influx of Californians to Seattle early 90s from aerospace tectonic shifts and normal moving around. The worry was rising property prices mainly, because they brought lots of cash from selling their expensive California homes.

And they were always leaving off the last syllables of words. But mainly property prices.

My experience living in CA had taught me that NIMBYs are at the root of many problems there.

Ehhhh it would be hard to bring the truly destructive legislation. California's system is exceptionally dumb.

Do you mind explaining which legislation in particular you are considering destructive?

The property tax system is terrible.

> People say this as if Californian is an ethnicity.

You say that as if it is not.
