Pretty much self-explanatory. Inspired by this post in the IMHO thread, Which state do you currently live in?, I want to see how many people currently residing in California are transplants, and where did they move from.
My hometown is in upstate New York, but I lived in Connecticut before moving to California. So I marked Connecticut for me.
Which time? 
I was born in upstate NY as well, but I don’t my birthplace a hometown ( I don’t have one of those ) - I left as a baby. In fact we moved every 1-2 years until I finally settled in CA for good in 8th grade. But I had lived here before in 3rd and 4th grade.
First time I moved to CA it was from NYC, the second time from a Detroit suburb.
I’m not going to vote because I moved from California to Washington in May. But I lived in California for five years and moved there from Georgia.
The last time - so, MI apparently.
Yep, no vote for Driver8.
No soup, either.
Born and raised in California. Never lived in any other state. Now I live abroad, but I’m still a Californian and I want to vote in your poll! (My father and grandmother moved to CA from another state and my mother from another country, so it’s not like I have really deep roots there, but it’s a stronger identity for me than “American” is.)
Native Californian here, born and raised, 3rd generation. However I have lived in several western states and now live in BC, Canada.
Born in NY, went to college in Mass, then grad school in Illinois, the worked in NJ, then here, so I put down NJ.
And hope to get out before the big one hits.
Born in California and have never lived in another state. I have, however, moved around a little bit, spending my first 18 years in SoCal and my last 18 in the Bay Area.
I was born in California and have lived here my whole life, except for a few years in New York when I was very young. I even live in the same city I was born in.
Born and raised in Michigan, moved to CA to go to school. I’ve been there for over 30 years so that makes me a “native”, in California terms.
Et tu, Tamerlane?*
I moved to CA 3 different times from 3 different states. The last time was RI, so that’s what I put.
Not only have I never lived outside of California, I’ve never lived outside of LA County. All but 12 years of my life have been spent living within the Los Angeles city limits, in fact.
I’m so sorry. ( 
from Northern Californian.)
I’m not sure how to vote. I spent my first 14 years in Florida. Then about 4 years in Colorado, then a few years in Mississippi, then a spell in Louisiana before coming to California in 1978.
It doesn’t fit the poll, but I was born and raised in Northern California and moved to CT after the half-century mark.
Native Southern Californian here, I’ve only lived in Los Angeles and Riverside counties.
I love LA and will never live anywhere else if I can help it.
Annnnnnd that, in a nutshell, is why I try to avoid going north of Ventura County. Y’all can keep your smug attitudes and crunchy hippie lives - I’ll stay here and enjoy yet another beautiful day in paradise.
Meh. This state would be far less interesting if both halves didn’t consider themselves superior to the other. Which is made all the more effective by the need to literally hold one’s nose while traveling from one side to the other.
Oh, totally. As much as Frisco bugs me, I’ll defend it to any non-Californian who dares slag it off. But that doesn’t mean I’ll sit by and let them talk crap about the Angel City, either.
