Is California as bad as they make it sound?

Only the white people who work at Tesla and paint swastikas in the bathrooms and harass elevator operators.

Yes it is. The homeless problem is especially big in coastal places like LA SJ SF. The agricultural part of the state is very conservative. They’re just way outnumbered. But it is a-shame bc geographically CA is the most beautiful state in our union. Places like Monterey/Carmel are still nice. Very liberal but don’t have the problems like the bigger cities do. People leaving a blue state and continue to vote democrat has been happening for awhile now and something I don’t understand at all. Just shows how stupid they really are if you ask me. New Yorkers come down here to Florida every year and do the same thing. They even admit it.

Went to the LSU-UCLA game ( )

LA itself is absolutely disgusting. Looks like the proper collection of trash is illegal, tents everywhere, buildings run down, smoggy, filthy.

The literacy rate there is abysmal, there is a huge demographic problem Cali will have to deal with ASAP.

Met a couple from CA who were both engineers. They said their monthly salary is almost now consumed with house, car, and tax payments.

The south and coastal regions are full of degenerates. The valley and parts of the north are okay. Last time I went there, I drove over the coastal range up north and saw a Confederate battle flag flying in someone's yard.

The land is beautiful. A lot of the people, not so much.

Yes

I lived in San Diego for 2 years

Hated it

The negatives around where I live: Homeless encampments are in all of the large cities. I’m in Fresno, population of 520,000, and the freeways have them all along the sides. Downtown has them all over the place and in the residential neighborhoods nearby. I live in the good part of the city and there is signage asking that you do not give food or money to the homeless at the major intersections and only support local charities. That’s just the homeless issue.

Gang activity is certainly present and is primarily Hispanic and Asian. Graffiti is found everywhere in the southern half of the city and garbage litters the roads. It’s disgusting. This is driven by people that simply do not care about anything, even themselves. Employment opportunities around here are generally low skilled. We are the center of the Ag capital of the world. Illegal immigration is a big problem. I’m pretty sure we are the drunkest city in America too. We also get absolutely hammered with the smoke from the forest fires. Because we’re in a valley the winds push the smoke down into the city and it sits here. It isn’t Beijing bad but the sun turns a different color and there is a small amount of ash on everything outside. Air quality is normally a problem here under the best circumstance during the summer here but the last few years have been horrible. My lungs have started to be effected by it. Pretty picture, right? I’ll do another post with the positives. All two of them.

Look up the size of skid row.

Look up actual photos of people taking a shite on the sidewalk in front of people eating at a restaurant.

Look at the tax rates

Look at the costs of apartments in San Francisco. 2000 bucks minimum for 1-2 bed apartments. 1600 minimum for studio.

Look up the requirements for upcoming new home construction.

Look up emission rules on vehicles

Look up how many homes are destroyed by wildfire because greenies has to protect the spotted slug that’s killed in the wildfires anyway.

Look at the population decline. Even the hardcore believers are leaving and infecting other areas.

Look at the business climate.

If you do… you will see how bad.

I lived in a downtown San Diego highrise that had to employ 4 security guards around the clock, one on each side of the building, plus two more inside the building and one in the parking garage

Because as soon as you stepped outside it was tents and drug addicts and homeless as far as the eye could see in all directions. It's why I never took walks

My car got broken into multiple times in the parking garage underneath the building.
