Any place with good neighbors is a good place if you can hunker down. When I left, I left San Francisco. That city is wonderful, except for the large number of far-left people ready to walk off a cliff together and who are driven by hate.

So I left the US mostly to leave San Francisco, I didn't have to come this far. But I don't regret it.

Places like New Zealand sound just as bad from the outside news, and knowing there is no hard and fast constitution to protect you isn't that great. But what matters most are the people, especially those people close by, if you align with them well enough, can work with them, if they are good people. I found good people here, so even in hard times like COVID lockdown we help each other out.

So I guess my call for people to leave the US was overboard. It's not necessary. I was just wound up.
