I live in a state that slowly, then suddenly went from red to blue.
The past twenty-five years I have seen more obnoxious laws passed in California than I care to list.
In my area, affordable housing and living-wage jobs have become very much fewer very quickly. I also see far more homeless people and their camps than I used to. The past year or so has presented packs of wandering immigrants that are being housed in hotels and abandoned retail centers. In the meantime, working-class citizens struggle with housing.
The two counties I have lived in my entire life remained red for quite awhile. They are now very blue.
I can say without a doubt that conservatives were much more agreeable to most of my sensibilities than the liberals.
I did not move to The Bay or L.A. The Bay and L.A. moved to me, and brought their trash with them.
