What Americans are saying about California?

[FuturePAF]

It got too expensive and too crazy for the middle class to want to stay. The working class doesn’t even have the funds to leave and is better off fighting the system to keeping living in California.

The corruption in state government and how it negotiated deals makes the taxes unsustainable. Projects that would take a few years to do in other parts of the world take decades to be build and are multiple times over budget. Not unlike New York.

It’s really the people that have to be there, and the rich people that want to be there that are left.

The cost is lien the rich areas in the north east (nice parts of Connecticut) and the poor parts are like Alabama or Mississippi

Haha! Awesome!!!!
I had a good time. I surprisingly liked the place. The rush hour traffic on 101 was absolutely ridiculous though. Worst I have ever dealt with in my entire life. WTF! They were not kidding about California traffic. It was like 5 lanes too and we are lucky to have 4 on our highways.

Yeh 101 still is bad every morning. I need a Tesla to switch on the Autonomous driving and let it get me to the destination while I snooze listening to the music.

Nice place with its own charm for sure, but not exactly Highway 1. Have you been up to Cabot's Trail in Republik of Canoodia up that aways a bit? That is somewhat similar. Meat Cove is a must see.

I've got relatives up in Nova Scotia there but never went up there to meet them

Definitely worth a trip, if you ever get the chance.

I can - ahem - personally testify to that.



The best parts are the beaches and Highway 1. Simply awesome!

Nope, that was a rental from the airport, and clean because it had only 7 miles when I picked it up. It was not that clean when I returned it.

San Francisco is connected to Oakland by the Bay Bridge. Oakland was ranked as the city with the highest crime rate in the country while San Francisco is one of the most expensive places in the world.

All the undesirables have to do is cross the bridge and they have an unlimited number of juicy rich people to rob.

But then, all large US cities have become like that.

California used to be good, before a successive of Governor ruined it, starting with Arnold.

It got too gentrify, I used to live in South LA, which was and is a shithole, but the opposite side of LA is the same, just rich shithole, I guess staying out of LA and SF and you should be good, have a good time living in San Deigo back in the days.

Oakland is also become one of the most expensive cities in America. I know it’s insane, no one would ever think that could even be said. It’s like thinking the Bronx will be the expensive, but gentrification is spreading in the only direction it is allowed to go.

Yup they all have the common feature of being run by democrap political mafia monopoly...esp the inner cities.

This monopoly does its intersectional marxist politics who's current growing+doubling down flavour is anti-police and anti-law and order.

The white liberals in this coalition move to the suburbs and do NIMBY hypocrisy to keep virtue-signalling voting for these ugly clowns too.

An ugly bunch of rats in the end. Democrat run areas will become more and more unliveable unless you are one of their protected vote banks.

The US will have to wait it out in the end, these democrat-voting people dont have children or busily abort them....so the problem will solve itself, it just will take a long time.

In interim the sane people move to better states without this big city democrap culture.

There are areas of and near SF that also have their fair share of "undesirables" like Tenderloin, South City, and Daly City, no need to cross the bridge. Plus a lot of undesirables live on the streets of SF.
