    So, say CA does collapse and turn very bad. Like high violence, civil unrest, even higher unemployment, massive substance abuse, etc. Where would you go?
    I just wanted some opinions on this site. What city and state would you head to, or country? And if you had lost your job here, and things didn’t look so hot anywhere else, do you have an idea of what you might do to survive/provide for yourself and family? Feel free to be extreme, as this is and extreme hypothetical.
    Hopefully it doesn’t get this bad, but just wondering what y’alls backup plans may be.

    For all the commenters who think a real recession leads to a complete breakdown in society, I have a suggestion: Become better acquainted with history. This country has lived through many recessions much worse than this one is shaping up to be. And there were complaints, elections lost, new laws, lost and new careers and fortunes….. Life went on. Life will go on.

    If you love living in California, then stay there. Take advantage of the opportunity to move to a nicer area. Coins, and events, always have two sides.

    PR: Your a Pollyanna – the US has not been through “many” recessions much worse than this one – a few perhaps but not many…

    I say buy an RV, if things really do get bad drive to a place where they aren’t so bad (probably Utah and parts of Nevada, eastern California).

    And if things don’t get bad – use it for year round vacations.

    Look at the bailout plan. It basically takes care of the very low end and high end of society. That way riots are kept to a minimum and the very wealthy get made whole from the crashing economy. The middle, OTOH, will get severly reduced in size and std of living.
