Having left Los Angeles to move to a very rural area in 1988 because quality of life is far more important than yearly income and that really is pretty sucky no matter where you live in LA or NY City, I think it's time Hollywood did a remake of "Deliverance" to squash this trending idea.

I actually had friends in LA tell me "they'll make you squeal like a pig there!" before I left. I'm not sure how many here will get those old references, but it really was a thing when I told my friends in LA I was leaving.

The area where I moved to has grown fast over the past 30 years. Still pretty nice though, and I'm glad I've spent those years here. No amount of money would've been worth spending them in LA.

To be fair, Deliverance was a bit more recent of a movie when you left, so one could see why they made such references, unfair as they were and still are (that said, I know for a fact that characters as depicted in the movie do exist, we just don't run into 'em often - good thing - nor really discuss them - bad thing).
