I'm not sure I follow :D besides the sarcasm ... all I know is that this insanity is not sustainable.

  The demographics that drilled all the holes in the ship are also the first people off the sinking ship. Look at the further out suburbs of Austin, Denver, Boulder and Boise if you want to see this effect in various stages of its progression. You're not gonna have to wait 20yr to see CA crash and burn from afar. The root cause is going to set up shop and start doing its thing closer to (your) home and it will do so on a much shorter timeline.

    Oh I know ... it's scary. I live in the west and have seen first hand what it's done to Denver / Boulder / Boise. I really liked your analogy, too. "Let's screw things up and see what happens. No worries I have unicorn stock and can move to somewhere better and bring my wreck with me." I read a comment one time that said "Denver used to be the Kansas City of the West, now it's the SF." It saddens me how true that is now.

      It's more like "Wow, this place with all of the policies that I supported and voted for has turned into a dump! I need to get out of here, but I need to make sure that I can get all of my policies implemented in the new place as well!"

        more likely "this place has turned into a dump, despite implementing all the policies I supported and voted for! I need to move somewhere else that still has a chance and lobby even harder!"

    Now that I re-read what I said first, I'm saddened. At first it's a "haha you dumbasses have fun with your own wreckage." Then you realize it's coming to your neighborhood!
