Hollywood Apocalypse: The rich and famous are fleeing in droves as liberal politics and coronavirus have turned the City of Dreams into a cesspit plagued by junkies and violent criminals

Gold's Gym has become synonymous with the Hollywood Dream.

Set just a few hundred yards from the ocean in sun-kissed Venice Beach, Los Angeles, Gold's was the backdrop for Pumping Iron, the 1977 documentary which followed a young, unknown Austrian bodybuilder called Arnold Schwarzenegger as he prepared for the Mr Universe contest.

The film turned him into an overnight sensation. He would go on to become a global superstar, marry a member of the Kennedy clan, and become Governor of California.

Yet today Gold's sits amid post-apocalyptic scenes which have consumed much of LA, turning the City of Dreams into an urban nightmare from which people are fleeing in droves.

A makeshift tent city made up of flapping tarpaulins and cardboard boxes surrounds the gym on all sides.

Junkies and the homeless, many of whom are clearly mentally ill, walk the palm-lined streets like zombies – all just three blocks from multi-million-dollar homes overlooking the Pacific.

Stolen bicycles are piled high on pavements littered with broken syringes.

TV bulletins are filled with horror stories from across the city; of women being attacked during their morning jog or residents returning home to find strangers defecating in their front gardens.

Today, Los Angeles is a city on the brink. 'For Sale' signs are seemingly dotted on every suburban street as the middle classes, particularly those with families, flee for the safer suburbs, with many choosing to leave LA altogether.

British-born Danny O'Brien runs Watford Moving & Storage. 'There is a mass exodus from Hollywood,' he says.

'And a lot of it is to do with politics.' His business is booming. 'August has already set records and we are only halfway through the month,' he tells me.

Sadly a lot of Californians (who voted for this CRAP) have been infiltrating Nashville, Tennessee, Texas, and Arizona, among other Red or Purple states. NOT good...

The most popular bumper sticker in Colorado, forty five years ago was..
DON’T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO!

Well, it has been and they are now moving in on New Mexico.

[hal ogen]

Please stay out of UT. We don’t tolerate LIB lunacy too well.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

In that state, it is not who votes red, it’s who counts the votes.

Like a virus infecting a cell, reproduces itself, bursts the cell and they go on to infect other cells.

[A strike]

Believe it or not, similar bumper stickers even in Oregon a while back !

New line of defense is ID, MT, WY, even UT.
TX needs to prohibit entry from CA to save their souls (and hope PDJT can stop the third world hordes entering) .

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Agreed but it seems to be fighting a rear guard action.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Alternate title.

“The Hollywood Rich and Famous are Off to Ruin Other Great Places They Haven’t Destroyed with Their Liberal Idiocy Yet.”

I say, build a wall and confine them to the living hell they created.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

You know that won’t happen. They will just ruin wherever they go.

[Pajamajan]

Keep voting Democrat.

[pangaea6]

Yep, they dont understand. The libs think oh it didnt work in CA bc of such and such but it’ll work in North Carolina or Tennessee for sure so lets just keep voting that way and make it how we really want it.

[Dave W]

LOL! ...get a good night’s sleep.

[from occupied ga]

You’re right. They don’t understand and they don’t want to understand because if they did they’d have to admit their core beliefs were wrong and they will never will. Too much ego at play. You can’t reason with them because their beliefs aren’t based in reason. Likewise that’s why facts and evidence make no difference to them because they reject logic and cause and effect. Like I said plague rats

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

“Robert” blamed Trump for the divide between the rich and the poor but the rich white liberals are the ones abandoning LA for another less violent/corrupt place to c
destroy, such as Nashville (which has a serious crime problem from what I’ve been reading).

The next thing painted on the streets of LA, say “ Sunset Blvd” should be “Let Them Eat Cake” Or if the painter is a conservative, “Let Them Eat Shit”.

“But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)” ― Robert A. Heinlein, To Sail Beyond the Sunset

Somebody is feeding them the drugs! Watch things get so bad that even the drug cartels won’t see any profit in selling in those areas because even the basic subsistence money goes away.

We can make the drug problems vanish to a very small manageable level but we would have to become like Singapore to do it.

O'Brien, 58, who moved to LA from London 34 years ago, is also planning to move to Tennessee. 'Liberal politics has destroyed this city,' he says. 'The homeless encampments are legal and there's nothing the police can do. White, affluent middle-class folk are getting out. People don't feel safe any more.' With movie studios still shuttered because of the coronavirus pandemic and businesses only just starting to remove the wooden boards put up after city-wide rioting following the death of George Floyd while being arrested by three white officers in Minneapolis, LA is now in the grip of white flight.....White flight is real. The elites and middle classes are leaving. People are taking losses on the sales of their homes to get out.

Mark my words: if Kamala and Fingers get into office, they will sign "Executive Orders" that limit you moving. The baseline is already here with certain state putting up Nazi-esque "checkpoints" at their borders.

Soon, you will need the digital equivalent of "papers please" to travel, move, or work in other city or state.

You can say goodbye to Hollywood. The major studios have shut down. The only filming that will occur in ghe next five years are blacksploitation films. Get ready. The once grat acting community is dispersing to their second, third, or overswas estates. The whole film infrastructure is either unemployed or close to it. More filming is probably done in Georgia than in Hollywood these days.

[mewzilla]

Even the Harkles bugged outta LA.

[ronniesgal]

in the article they compare LA to Haiti after an earthquake.
Isn’t this racist?! ( and marvelous, haha)
I just hope Tori Spelling is safe somewhere in a barn.
