As a matter of fact - I Haled from California when it was the best state in the union - Had a nice to live in the North Coast too.
Note the past tense.
That was before pothead eco-fascists, various NIMBY combinations and pandering political parties destroyed the industry I was employed by - and the economy of the whole region as well, making it into the "Appalachia Of The West".
But sometimes, a little adversity propels you into something even better than you lost. Since I left, I have found a much better state - and the neighbors are nice too - very helpful (not a NIMBY among them)
Thus the Moniker - Caliphonyia Refugee
What is sad is the pathetic state of things "back home"; and the burgeoning ignorance of those left behind.
It is not a "Nuclear Free Zone" as they tout in Berkeley. It has become an "Intelligence Free zone"
Oh well, we are all free to leave. I was forced to.
