I completely understand EP’s thoughts, but, as a native, who has also lived elsewhere over the years, I find it’s been interesting and entertaining to watch the state evolve into it’s present form. Many people who now live in CA, come from other places where most native Californians would never want to live for even an hour, so I completely understand how much the transplants must love being in a place like CA.
Some natives don’t like the way the state has changed, and continues to change but, imo, whatever the negatives may be, the positives far outweigh them, and our family has benefited tremendously from the positive aspects of living in CA for generations, so I’m sure we’ll be here for many generations to come.
