4th gen dudes.

I can’t explain that, because I don’t know. What I do know is as follows: 1) We have an artificially higher gas tax, by a significant amount. I don’t know why because our roads are terrible and they’re turning them into bike lanes. 2) My electricity rates are increased at a rate that is greater than the advertised rate of inflation (but are likely what actual inflation rates are.) 3) Trash fees, which were previously apart of property tax, just became an additional fee of $600/year. 4) $19,000 a year in state income tax at roughly $300k a year. 5) 1% property tax on a $1m home (median) is a lot. Plus community taxes. 6) We’ve created the fastest high speed rail… That doesn’t exist. 7) Probably lots of “Learing” Centers.

Cost of living primarily.

I love California and hate who/how the state is run. I have a beautiful home in San Diego that overlooks the airport, bay, and North Island... And we've had my wife's car broken into once and a homeless man come onto my patio, steal her shoes and a weightlifting belt I had on my squat rack. We also have a really nice property six hours North of San Francisco where the only things you run into are deer, black bears, and mountain lions. I agree that California is probably the most diversely beautiful state. I just wish that it wasn't controlled by the Bay Area and LA populace. I'm hopeful that people are waking up. Spencer Pratt's Mayoral campaign seems to be going quite well. Can he win? I don't know, but I hope that he does.

The fact that not one good guy perished... This is going to make a great mini-series one day!

I don't disagree with you. I just have too much going on with life at the moment to worry about the periphery.

Seems like it takes about 20 years to return to the top. By my math we've got another 8 to turn it around...

I would only ever want to fly with the Aussies and Brits in my lane.

I'm hearing it was a Kuwaiti F-18 that committed the frats.

A bit more than 10 years ago a team was down by more than 10 to come back and win it all… Let’s see what Mario says in the locker room and how they come out.

Indiana -7.5. That's pretty wild for a team that was 3-9 two years ago.

Which is even more of a reason to go!

Concur. This is a once in a decade or multiple decade opportunity. If they win and you don't go you'll regret it forever.

Congratulations @ClearedHot You guys look really solid. Sounds like about 25 years is the rate at which non-dynasty programs require to put another NC in the bank (Michigan.) Maybe I'll root for you guys so I can start FSU's clock - 2038 here we come! Or USC in 2028.

I guess you're just of superior character when compared to myself. Good luck!
