Yeah, we talk often about this. He understands the seriousness, but not so much his wife. His kids were woke but not sure if they have changed their minds.
I’m in the process of moving out of state. Since I’m from here, it feels like being ripped apart, which is weird. Granted, I don’t have family holding me back, but I’ve watched & waited hoping things would change.
In my opinion, the metro areas are “given over” & will not recover. I can no longer ignore the truth: leaving is for my survival.
I hope both you & your friend(s) are able to relocate to a more pleasant area, where one does not feel they must adapt to the degradation of the surrounding society.
Set your sights on what is potentially ahead locally & elsewhere. Weigh the options & be patient but determined. Life is to be “lived”, not tolerated.
Best to you & yours!
Best wishes with your move. Hope it all goes smooth. I myself moved out long ago, I now live in Australia. I do have a bunch of friends living in DC and Bay Area. Not really sure what they are up to - lost touch with most of them this year. A bunch of them work in Google and Facebook and I am scared to even talk to them.
