Hey when I moved here in the 60s it was a moderate state with a lot of conservative regions and would often elect a mix of Rep and Dem officials and legislators.
Then the drift to the left took place. But I am locked in by home, fixed retirement income, etc etc etc. Not to mention our littlest chick is a pre med student at UCLA and Mama Hen can be there in about 1 hour or less. She has started to talk about moving after Jasmine graduates, she is getting upset about crime etc. And this from a lady born and raised in East Los Angeles with one brother who was a serious gang wannabe for several years.
Not to mention having one of the highest rated education systems in the country, though the signs of change were appearing already. And during my time teaching from early 70s to 2007 I saw that fall apart in much of the state. But some of the special programs (like the school I retired from: AP, gifted, magnet center and University Prep Program if a separate school would rate well up in the 90s on the percentile scale) and many districts are still among the best.

I grew up in small town in central North Dakota. My brother in law owned a gas station and when you had your car winterized with him he would fill your tank, wash and wax the car, free. Gas would be a nickel during gas wars.
When my dad had a station in the early 60's the daily price was 0.239. During a gas war it would go down to 0.159. Today there are no gas wars. I studied our gas prices over the last couple years our local station raise the price either on Tuesday or Thursday and most often by .02 t0 .30 it then drops by a few cent over the next week. I always check the WWW. gasbuddy.com to get the best price. Our current price is 1.98

Seventeen cents per gallon for my Kaiser-Fraser Traveller in 1957, as I recall. I also recall not having enough money to fill the tank all the way up.

Except for California, because we have tax upon tax here.
Las Vegas area is about the same as California and when the price drops they add on another tax so we won't get spoiled with low prices. Plus the tax stays when it goes back up

How old are you? LOL I'm really old at 68 and the best I ever saw where I lived was $.28 per gallon!
I remember 25 cents per gallon back in Washington, Pa and they not only filled your tank, checked the oil, cleaned your windshield but also gave you green stamps as well. It was all done with a thank you when you came back to the car with your 5 cent bottle of Coke-a-cola.
