...and the last few of those were spent mostly in traffic jams listening to CDs.

If you asked me in 1987 if I'd ever "choose" to leave CA I'd have laughed and asked "To go where? Where is it better?"
Sadly the day came when things changed enough and I got to compare. Arizona is CA circa 1980 trafficwise, population-wise and space-wise and I realized I liked that better. All the buildings are new, new freeways are being built, new shopping centers and it is simply more "California-like" when California was still in its prime. The fact that it is now populated with many conservative ex-Californians, the politics are reflecting the change. This has literally become the fastest growing spot in the entire nation. And it's not because of people moving here from New York.
Besides it's just a twenty-five minute flight back on Southwest any time I wish to get depressed and sit in traffic again or get a good laugh at the prices folks are paying for housing.
