you can find homelessness in every major metro area, it's not unique to california.

Yeah, but at least the homeless in other states have the decency to shite and shoot-up in Starbucks bathrooms instead of on the sidewalk.

Speaking as someone who lived for 25 years in Louisiana, and almost as long in California: for a low cost of living state, Louisiana is actually pretty damn expensive. For being so expensive, California is an easy place to live. Never paid a dime for private schools and my taxes actually seem to accomplish things here. Last time I had my house refinanced it had very nearly tripled in value. I'm good.

No it does, it's just lower than the national average. Much lower than Texas, for instance.

Now compare the total tax burden of California vs Texas.

Then your statement made absolutely no sense. I think reading comp is the problem

Housing, property taxes and utilities.

You just gotta love the irony of some baw in Louisiana getting triggered by a thread like this and commenting on how shitty and what a terrible place California is because “muh Liberals”, while they sit in a trailer park somewhere in Houma.

California is beautiful and if you stay out of the major cities (like any state), the politics aren’t even noticeable.

Definitely has a ton of natural beauty and wonder.


The majority of people living there suck though.

Being middle class in the 80s and early 90s and living in California before the state's electorate jumped off the deep end into the cesspool of communism must've been absolutely awesome.

California in the 1980s and early 90s was the golden age of America imo.
