Our experience has been quite similar to Virginia Postrel’s, and we feel very fortunate. I can’t imagine how terrible it must be to be cramped in an apartment with too many people, or what a nightmare this has been for parents with children.

California
The totalitarian state.
If it seceded, we’d be out of here ASAP, because the Constitution is the only thing holding these fascists back.
