California's biggest problem i that there are too many people. It would be good if the population was reduced by a third or a half. Most of the other problems are related to that. I should point out though that people have complained about the school system forever. California does have the best higher education in the country though. People come here for that from all over the world. If you want to see how bad the crime is, watch a movie from the 1950's. It seems like California is just infested with criminals. I especially recommend "The Maltese Falcon". You will see how immigrants are affecting the crime rate.

All those other reasons you mentioned are good reasons to move out of Oregon too. And those are the reasons I’d move out if I had the money. But the ongoing rain is also my reason I’d move out & also other reasons you left out! They are selfish, careless, clueless & dishonest & they outlaw stuff that is important to have & make into law to do stuff that is wrong. So good people out there that love the State of Oregon too much are making a very bad mistake of it. Because as much as many love it! They aren’t loving them back. Because they only love themselves. Not others!

@@k7j6 I’m looking into Iowa, I just want a nice place to work on my cars, listen to my music and finally own my own house in peace and relative quiet. The cost of living is significantly cheaper there despite the sales tax, the medical is better ( if you’re close to the hospital) It’s a swing state so chances are better that our opinions are heard, safer, lower violent crime. Down side is the land is relatively flat compared to Oregon, the weather is sometimes violent and it’s very expensive to move.

Doesn’t matter to me! Because just like Colorado! Southern California still gets way less rain. So as expensive as it may be there! I’d gladly even live there before anywhere where there is ongoing rain like there is in Oregon. But I do appreciate you letting me know anyway! I could maybe visit Iowa in the future if I have to!

I was a local truck driver in Portland for 10+ years. I moved shortly after the BLM riots because one night around midnight, the protesters were blocking the i5 and i205 bridge into Washington and I had to deliver a load to Seattle. As I was patiently waiting in the line of traffic (I was paid hourly so I didn’t really care tbh), I noticed the “protesters” were climbing on the truck a few cars ahead of me. Then I seen one with a baseball bat and he was smashing the trailer lights with it… and after like 2 minutes, they got to my truck. They started smashing the headlights, the windshield, slashing my tires and airlines, and spray painting all over my truck. Lasted all of 2-3 minutes and then they moved on. My night was shot as I had to wait for my company to pick me up, they sent a tow truck and another semi to grab the trailer. I hid in the cab with my gun, ready to pop off, but they didn’t want in, they were just trying to cause as much destruction as possible. I moved a short 3 months after that happened, in the middle of Covid. I wasn’t sticking around

The Republican governors of 14 states not long ago rejected federal food aid for the children of their states, because of ideological reasons: they'd rather have the kids go hungry than accept money from the feds and, even worse, from a Democratic administration. West Virginia alone has had immense problems retaining teachers because the Republican state government has declared war on teachers. Republican-led states make it very hard for young professionals to chose their states or to move there long term due to the 2nd class citizenship they impose on women. See a pattern here?

Dad suffered a massive stroke on February 24, 2007. He managed to survive until November 1, 2010. My brother died April 6, 2007, after a 20-year battle with multiple sclerosis. I've been drawing Social Security disability since 1990, owing to emotional problems. I never married nor had children. I don't guess I ever will, but miracles have been known to happen. I live at The Arbors, which is downtown. I had lived in College Park for over 50 years, but had to leave in January 2018 because of plumbing problems. It wound up damaging the kitchen ceiling. Somebody bought the house for the price of delinquent tax payments. I try not to let life wear me down, and so far it hasn't. Sorry I couldn't give a little better report, but as long as things get no worse, I guess I can live with it. TTYL.

Don't be so eager to dismiss politics. Oregon is a huge state, with multiple economic zones, only a few of which are rainy. There's only one thing all these regions share in common, and that is subjugation to one-party rule by an extreme faction who ruin the state by design--de facto legalizing riots, encouraging open-air drug encampments that ruin urban centers and burn down forests, draining schools of students by sacrificing curriculum to the promotion of gender drugs and surgery, draining the state of families by taking custody from parents who don't use the right pronouns, and paying farmers in the state's most agriculturally abundant areas to grow marijuana instead, making it hard to buy food in a state that should be self sufficient and leaving large sections of Oregon with rotting weed that's worth nothing and feeds no one. And they get away with it because there's no shortage of mainstream and online media eager to soft-peddle the situation. It's gross; why do you do it?

I was born in California in 1951, and watched it go downhill. Over regulation, high taxes and high gas prices finally drove me to Alaska in 2017. Food is more expensive, but Walmart avocados were $6 for 5 small ones. Where I live, there's no income tax, no sales tax, no property tax. Gas in Fairbanks right now is at least a buck per gallon cheaper than California. And you can carry a gun, and nobody cares. Does get very cold in the winter which makes people leave, but from mid-May to mid-September the weather is nice, and the long sunny days does amazing things in my garden.

Sacramento keeps throwing taxpayer money away on a high speed rail that, so far, only goes from SF to Merced and will never be able to turn a profit. It used to be my friends and I could go dirt bike riding, or ride horses in the hills, go hangliding off the cliffs in Laguna and Dana Point. Now all those places are filled with gated communities and snobs.

Michigan (11.000), Arizona (11.000), . . . Utah is not even on the list. As for why, the top reason is taxes. With a rate of just over 15%, Illinois ranks as number one in terms of the highest annual state and local taxes on the median US household-almost 40% more than the national average. The total state and local tax rate for the median household is over 15%. Next comes housing costs, crime and job market. Weather is number 5 on the lists I have seen.

I visited the Bay Area for Xmas week in 1989 (after that earthquake) hosted by distant relatives. I was do impressed (even in winter) with how beautiful the area was (at the time) and raved about it when I returned to the E coast and said if I ever bec wealthy, I might take my chances and move to Bay Area. NOW, my KZfaq feed is full of horrifying footage of sf! What in the holy -uck did they do to beautiful sf? I realized I was there a long time ago, but Christ on a cracker! Sf/bay area has long been one of our most beautiful cities and most beautiful regions! 😢😮 Even though I have not been back, it breaks my heart 💔 to see what has happened to sf and the Bay Area when I see it in my yt feed! Disgraceful! 😢 Truly sad! 😔

Illinois resident here. Never heard a person who have left even mention Utah. It’s all Tennessee and Florida. And #1 reason is taxes. Yes jobs are part of it but it’s taxes and a sense that Chicago runs the state. So I’d say politics IS a huge determinant factor. We have jailed more past governors recently than I bet other states have corruption bud. Bad politicians bad politics bad policies made Illinois a bad state in the last 40 years.
