[quote=EconProf]Thanks Flyer, and completely agree. COVID plus the ability to work remotely from home has upended decisions of where to live in many ways. It’s not just a San Diego vs. St. George issue. People are fleeing the big cities for both outer suburbs and ex-urbs (example–LA to Riverside County).
St. George has a building boom of big houses near our airport because of direct daily flights to LA so CA workers can check in once a month or once a week with their employer.[/quote]

But none of that has anything to do with why you left. You constantly put forth subterfuge and strangely, like many, choose to take repeated pot shots at a California that treated you very well in life’s journey. I’m pretty certain you already or someday will look back and cherish your time here. You left to be with family and that’s a wonderful reason! There’s no need to justify it any further. You don’t have to put a beat down on California to make you feel better about leaving. You had the best reason already. All kidding aside I hope you and they are doing great
