The article was excellent describing the conditions of California. We made a decision to leave California and move to The Villages because of the high taxs, excessive laws, illegal population and knew that the conditions would spiral into further chaos.

Our California friends could not believe we would leave California. Some of our friends had two jobs, lived paycheck to paycheck. Retirement was not in their vocabulary.

Leaving California was our best decision, even though I miss my kid and grandkids terribly.
We will return to California to visit, but we will not be part of the insanity any longer.
