We can only hope the next governor is a republican since the assembly and state senate are controlled by liberal democrats.

The huge white middle-class migration was in the early to mid 90's, after Clinton shut down aerospace in the San Frenando Valley. The mass Clinton cutbacks in defense spending caused it. Then you had the earthquake and the riots. Can't remember the sequence, but it was one after the other. You now have a thin group of rich whites and an ever decreasing number of blacks sitting on top of a huge, mainly Mexican, population. What is under reported is how the browns have been forcing the blacks out for decades. LA Unified has been Mexican since the late 70's. That's how long these migration patterns have been going on, undisturbed. the other anomaly is how expensive it is. Rents are through the roof. housing prices have not come down, even in the face of a flat real estate market. So you have the very well off and the very poor. sounds like Mexico to me. Or any Latin American country. Corruption grows. The LA police are demoralized. The roads are pot holed, etc. etc. And yes, my wife and I will be leaving soon. There is a 10% state income tax. Only the very rich can afford to retire here.
