California dreamin', it seems, has become a nightmare. There are more people moving out than in and, even before the pandemic, a survey found that more than half of residents said they wanted to high-tail it to another state. Ali Wolf, a former news reporter in the Bay Area, decided to leave because of the diminishing quality of life. "My husband and I lived in a very expensive, very small one-bedroom apartment ... on the streets surrounding our home, it wasn't uncommon to see people passed out in tents or on the sidewalk, using orange needles to shoot up. Several of my friends were mugged, attacked or assaulted on city streets," said the new Nashvillian. Other ex-pats were fed up with taxes, traffic and government policies. Read their goodbye stories below. Meanwhile, a new book reveals shocking, previously unknown details of cartel leader El Chapo's life in and out of prison. We also hear from a man who gave up the Internet for three months, and a mom of 11 (with one on the way) — who wants five more kids. Have a great Sunday.
