Born and raised in the Central Valley, I've seen California transform from a paradise to a ####hole. The writing was on the wall over twenty years ago when I started to bug the Missus about getting out. She finally came around a couple of years ago and we decided to check out TN on the recommendation of the only friends we've got who hadn't already moved out. He's LE ready to git when his hitch is up in 2022; his Missus is already set up in Sumner County.
We got ourselves a place in neighboring Macon. I now say "I'm a Tennessean with property in CA."
Mrs. Dutch and I will be trickling over from hostile territory to our Tennessee home over the next 3 years. Really looking forward to making the move from the Soviet Socialist Republic of California to America permanent.
