Californians

It makes this 62-year-old second-generation native Seattleite more resentful towards those Californians who have chosen to migrate to our beautiful state of Washington after reading Richard Sybert’s “Northwesterners Can Just Knock It Off” (Op-Ed Page, Jan. 22).
The attitude of those Californians is everything is there for the taking. The first thing the relocated Californian does is put up a 6-foot fence with a “Keep Out” sign on his inflated purchase. Then they proceed to tell us what is wrong with our area and how it was done in California.
Our city isn’t a charming provincial town any longer. At one time it was, but with the migration of those affluent Californians, those less fortunate also heard about our city being the most liveable. Unfortunately, we have crime, corruption, drugs and problems that were not as prevalent until our innocent population was infiltrated by Californians en masse --haves and have-nots!
