California is 100% becoming a shithole. Housing is largely unaffordable, homeless everywhere you go, and gas is $3.50/gal on a good day. Oh and they also passed a bill that allows the state to raise gas taxes however much whenever they want without a vote. It has absolutely destroyed the middle class manifest destiny. But people are happy living the urban lifestyle in San Francisco pumping two shots of sugar free syrup in a cup for $15/hr so they can go home to their 2bd apartment with 15 roommates and suck the government teet.
Do you live in California? If so, what part?

LOL can you believe NATCA was going to have the 2022 convention in San Fran sicko? You'd need hazard pay just to wade through the shit and needles. Oh wait, my B, hazard pay isnt real.

A friend who has been a die hard LA lover our whole lives told me recently theyre moving to Thousand Oaks. So above and beyond the normal political rhetoric I am actually hearing it firsthand from people now how bad it is. Someone who isnt into politics or controversy at all, and finally threw in the towel. it must be REALLY F'ing BAD there. excerpt of an email in early May...

"...also i think we may be moving. we're looking to get out of los angeles - its gotten so bad, there are so man homeless and its dirty and trash. it wasnt like this 5 years ago when we moved her... and with the whole virus thing... the city has given the homeless hand washing stations and porta potties. YES so they are still living on the streets, in the parks (that I cant go to because theyre closed) and lining their tents up (6ft apart) in the under passes but now we have porta potties on the streets too... just sitting there on the sidewalks like lalala. and you know the homeless will take great care of them, right, and keep them clean, for sure. so yeh we are seriously considering moving... just down the 101 (so californian) to Thousand Oaks, which is in Ventura County not LA... its like a different world, where the politics have yet to ruin the community. I drove by a park there the other day and was like, uh where are the crazy homeless men peeing on the trees or sleeping on the picnic tables? there were now - just law abiding citizens walking around. So we're looking at houses..."


Also, I cant believe its legal (but apparently it is) for Garcetti to cut off the electric and water of paid citizen homeowners, but thats what he says he's going to do to people who are not adhering to Corona rules in their own houses. I think NY and CA are in a deathmatch to see who can go lower quicker. Another Nepotist tinpot dictator.

"You're breaking the law," the mayor said in response to a question about the constitutionality of shutting off utilities on private property.

Southern California. And yes BECOMING a shit hole, there are still some nice places dotted in between the third world counties, as referenced by PT’s post

Lived in California for 2 years and it was the worst experience of my life...

Becoming?

Was going to say the same thing. Lived in California a decade ago and it was the same shit then as it is today. Sure, there are decent areas, but overall the state can be insufferable at times.



 
Can you believe the mayor of LA is the son of the district attorney of LA during the OJ trial? The father was set to become mayor of LA before the OJ thing derailed it, I’m sure he was proud when his son got it but has to be secretly shocked and appalled what a shithole he turned it into.
 
California is a shithole and California housing is too expensive is like a yogism

not at all. Both things can be and are true. Real estate prices and quality of life are not synonymous. its amzing if you can afford a house in Malibu or Calabases or Menlo Park or Palo Alto... but ATCers cant do that. And you can hide out in Norcal all you like, but you are still paying for all of Gavin's psycho initiatives.


I’m sure he was proud when his son got it but has to be secretly shocked and appalled what a shithole he turned it into.

brother! dont be naive. absolutely guaruntee Gil Garcetti is NOT shocked or appalled at anything. Collateral damage brother.

I must be naive too. I admit im shocked that Gavin actually became governor. He was obviously angling for it for years but with San Francisco being turned into a 3rd world country (only Serfs or Lords) I thought he would be DQed. There is no such thing though. Same will go for Kamala running for Veep. She destroyed so many lives with her ruthless heartless merciless prosecutions ("WIN" at all costs!), but that wont matter.

Maybe like a Fox News picture

lol @ blaming conservative cable news for California's descent into 9 circles of hell. Dumb. thats like saying its MNBC's fault that Appalachia is plagued w poverty, obesity, & opioid addiction.

Since I don't live in Oregon or Washington I can't comment too directly on them except from all the sensationalist stories put up by both sides.

What I can say for certain is foxnews and the right have absolutely nothing to do with the state of California which you confirm is a shithole.

Live in CA, can confirm does not look like that right now.

You must not live in LA county then.
