Why I am leaving San Diego

[EconProf]

Having grown up in St. Paul, I can understand your decision to chose the environment of a small CA city over the bustle and impersonal nature of a coastal big city. A lot more people and businesses are chosing to leave CA for other states, and the recent election results will succeed in pushing more taxpayers out. While you are not actually leaving the state, you are moving to a place that is tourist-based, so should do all right as the rest of CA withers.

Seriously though, the areas east of Sacramento are very nice. If you like the outdoors, there is lots to do.

Glad to here there are other MN folk on this thread. Whenever I go home I instantly feel better, just walking through the airport and seeing all the unfashionable midwesterners. It always feels so much less competitive and jealous. The accent is quite horrid though.

haha…not my favorite person in the world. But if you have read anything about Mark Dayton (likely next governor), you might think Bachmann was a hallmark of sanity. Minnesotans are horrible voters (see Jesse the Body Ventura), but they sure as hell are no worse than California. I am not trying to leave for the politics…I am trying to leave because of the pervasive values. The lack of responsibility and rampant materialism that is so ubiquitous in Southern California chiefly is the reason for my dislike of it here.

It is not the 150 years of California history that I am decrying, it is what has happened to it in the last 25 years that is so offensive.

pri_dk, I do love the outdoors dearly, and it is one of the other reasons I do not want to go to MN too soon. I can not wait for the proximity to my favorite place on earth, the sierras. They are what brought me here, and they are the last thing keeping me here.
