[quote=sdrealtor][quote=EconProf]Thanks Flyer, and you are quite right that the move was prompted less by financial motives than other factors.
Commentators on the left and the right agree that the nation is dividing into two geographic directions, or what could be called factions. The big cities, especially coastal ones versus the inland ones, the latter perhaps including the ex-urban parts of all cities.
Given current trends, I want to be part of the inland, more rural part. The culture, politics, and friendliness of the people are entirely different. We will never buy motels to house the homeless and addicted or free repeat-criminals from our jails or teach school children to be race-conscious. We won’t close our schools unnecessarily. Our taxes and fiscal future will stay healthy, crime rates will stay low, and education levels high. Our influx of escaping “refugees” from the woke cities will continue.
As a long-ago liberal–it’s hard to be a college teacher and not be liberal–my entry into the private sector via real estate investing and being a contractor in the inner city gave me a rude awakening.
Of course much of this change is due to simply getting old. As Winston Churchill said, paraphrasing, “To be young and not liberal is to have no heart. To be old and not conservative is to have no head.”[/quote]
What hogwash and intellectual dishonesty. You moved to be near your children and grandchildren. You could’ve just left it at that! If they were here you still would be and you know that. You’re just using your move to be near them as an excuse to bash CA on your way out.[/quote]
utah’s just 1 percent black. maybe utah schools can just teach that there’s such a thing as other races, and work up to race consciousness, since your grandkids probably wont ever actually interact witha black kid at
school. and wait…Utah is NEVER gonna release a repeat offenor from jail? 3 shopliftings and you get life? deadzone will buy a house before you see you’re full of crap! basically, the republicans of utah will talk a good game of “personal responsibility” and instead of actually taking responsibility for its people, they’ll export their problems of their homeless people who fail to get with the program to california, not keep them in utah jails forever. haha! sucks to get old. Us Old people think we have more brains, but really it’s just a narrowing, of the arteries, the heart, the vision for the future.
hunker down in utah old man. keep on believing you’re getting “smarter”. i think old people get crankier and dumber because of aches and pain, general inflammation, and decreased blood flow, and fear, fear based on weakness…a sense that the world is slipping away, out of control, and the only way to ensure predictable safety is to bring the hammer down hard on everyone who presents any risk whatsoever.
