I think you have to retarded to be eligible to hold office in Cali. And in IL you have to be a thief 
I lived in California for seven years after I left the Navy. Finished college and found my career path/employer in San Francisco. This all happened a damned long time ago and at the time it was a great place to live and work. Nazi Pelousy was still smoking dope in the Haight-Asbury and the Giants were still in New York. Since that time it has become a cesspool of ulra-leftwing thought.
Still have friends out there and talk to them frequently. The commute I had was a trans-bay boat ride from San Rafael/Larkspur to the Ferry Bldg at the foot of Market Street for a monthly cost of $37.50. Today that ticket runs $124.75. The toll on the Golden Gate Bridge was $0.25 each way. Today it is $10.00 round trip.
Cost of electricity was $0.0325 per kwh. Today it is $0.183/kwh. The list goes on and on all in the effort to appear "green".
Hell I could write a book about San Francisco, Marin County, Berkeley, and the rest. It was a great place to live..................at one time. A leftwing hell hole today.
