Not to worry, I won't.

I saw this exact thing in San Diego a while back. On a corner, where a building had two planters by the front door, lady walked behind, dropped trou, and started shitting.

Building owners should be allowed to fire hose em.

Yes. Please don’t come to California. Keep watching Fox and drinking the kool aid. CA sucks. Tell your friends.

My in laws have solar and PGE and don’t pay a dime. Sounds like he’s on leased, not owned solar. Rookie move.

Don’t forget to tell your friends and family not to come to CA. It’s the worst.

Would like to know what states you think are great. Please don’t say Texas.

Sure thing, as long as you quit sending all your idiots to Texas, especially Austin!

And I don't have to say Texas is great, everyone knows it is except for all the Californians moving here!

You think that only happens in CA. This has to be satire.

enjoy when people think all of CA is just SF and LA.

I doubt most people here think that. CA has the best, diverse geography in the country. It also has a lot of good people and areas in it (and good Mexican food). But, the large population centers on the coast drive policy, and the policies are horrifically bad with results to match. Too bad the lazy and the lunatics have destroyed a once great state. The same can be said for several other states who have gone down a similar path.

What magic state doesn’t have these issues?

The majority. If you seriously think the majority of states have problems to the same level of CA, you are taking some serious crazy pills. It’s OK to love your state, but you can do that and also acknowledge the historic problems and work to fix those problems. To pretend like they’re not there or that they are “the same problems everywhere else has,” is at best, some serious Stockholm syndrome-level thinking.

I love CA. That being said, I've yet to see anything in the US that rivals skid row in Los Angeles. It's pretty bad there. It's almost like they gave up on that part of the city.

Buddy my job is literally to travel around the country and stay in different cities. Just because it happens sometimes in other cities doesn't mean there's a comparison. California has been orders of magnitude worse since the pandemic. And it's not even close.

If you’re up for an honest debate: Why do you think so many people are leaving California for other states?

I love California and hate who/how the state is run. I have a beautiful home in San Diego that overlooks the airport, bay, and North Island... And we've had my wife's car broken into once and a homeless man come onto my patio, steal her shoes and a weightlifting belt I had on my squat rack.

We also have a really nice property six hours North of San Francisco where the only things you run into are deer, black bears, and mountain lions.

I agree that California is probably the most diversely beautiful state. I just wish that it wasn't controlled by the Bay Area and LA populace.

I'm hopeful that people are waking up. Spencer Pratt's Mayoral campaign seems to be going quite well. Can he win? I don't know, but I hope that he does.

Cost of living primarily.

I've never seen homeless shitting in the streets in Texas, even in Austin where homeless are a big issue!

It's well know to be a major problem in California.

Burying your head in the sand doesn't make it go away!

Austin was getting close (no surprise), but the state finally intervened and while it's still bad, it's getting better!

I’d agree with that—but why is it so relatively high? I get how certain areas of CA (LA, Bay Area) are expensive, just like areas around Austin, Nashville, Phoenix, etc are expensive for their states…but why is California overall higher?

People keep paying high prices to live here. I think it's because the weather is always nice (at least in LA, OC and SD). Also there are rich people, from all over the world, who continue to purchase property here at crazy high prices. Homes in my neighborhood sale for 1.2-2 million when they should be 500k. It's pure insanity.

I can’t explain that, because I don’t know.

What I do know is as follows:

1) We have an artificially higher gas tax, by a significant amount. I don’t know why because our roads are terrible and they’re turning them into bike lanes.

2) My electricity rates are increased at a rate that is greater than the advertised rate of inflation (but are likely what actual inflation rates are.)

3) Trash fees, which were previously apart of property tax, just became an additional fee of $600/year.

4) $19,000 a year in state income tax at roughly $300k a year.

5) 1% property tax on a $1m home (median) is a lot. Plus community taxes.

6) We’ve created the fastest high speed rail… That doesn’t exist.

7) Probably lots of “Learing” Centers.

I’ve lived in CA for 20 years and I’ve never seen anyone shit on the sidewalk. I was just in SF as well. I keep looking for it because it’s so common.

In the great state of Texas, do homeless not poop. Is that part of the requirement to being homeless in Texas.
