I'm ready to leave California. We get crap gas, we need any mods to our vehicles to meet CARB emissions standards, we have a terrible local and state government. The burden on businesses is extreme as well. There's been talk at work about moving our company out of state, or at least starting a new division as well (this is not isolated to our company or our industry either). I'll volunteer to be the first one out.

It's too bad -- this was such a great state in its heydey, and you could not ask for a more beautiful place to live. I can go surfing, hiking, skiing, all within 0.5-2 hours of where I live. Not many places like that.
