If you’ve lived in California too long, it’s easy to dwell on how things used to be. The mainstream media reports that California is experiencing an exodus thanks to taxes, cost of living and a host of other issues. Taxes do keep going up and even though the state is an oil producer, gas prices are some of the highest in the nation. How is that right?
Some prominent conventions have left their favorite haunts such as San Francisco because of the homeless situation and concerns about the city’s appearance.
Yes, California is changing and many have removed their rose-colored glasses. However, don’t let the negative news fool you.
California continues to offer the finest weather in the nation, a diversity of landscapes and geographies like no other state, and tourists continue to come so they can see the theme parks, national parks, filming spots and beautiful beaches.
Don’t worry — California’s not going anywhere. We’re still here and sure, you can check out any time you like but in your mind, you can never leave. Welcome!
