Then, in fairly rapid sequence, the spray paint, the loiterers, the shopping carts, the trash, and the constant whirr of the po po helos overhead.
My car was broken into 3 times, once in a park and twice in front of my house. Thieves took anything that was loose from our inside our gated front patio, and lawn and garden equipment from the side yard.
Time to move? Yup. To a very nice "red" state.
That was nearly 10 years ago. Now, in my "red" city and state*, everyone is friendly, no porch pirates or breakins, and no needles.
Mayberrys do exist. You need only look for GOP Governors and hopefully GOP-aligned Mayors and DAs.
*Not saying where, we have enough mover-inners as it is.
In the years after we moved, some of my son's friends were killed in gang violence. As much as they missed the friendships, they realized the dangers we left behind.
I live in the area and I’ve driven through SB lots of times. It’s amazing to me what’s happened to it through horrible, corrupt, to the point of criminal city govt.
In my lifetime I’ve witnessed it go from a vibrant, prosperous area to a gang ridden hell hole where everyone’s trying to steal everyone else’s welfare money.
We used to cruise SB. I worked during Christmas vacation at the Sears in that abandoned mall. I haven’t been back there in 40 years. It’s depressing.
Looks looks like Zuma beach on a Saturday night in LA.
It’s horrible.
Used to be an agricultural area. My great grandparents moved there about a hundred years ago from the mid-west. But they didn’t stay long.
In 1990 of so my car broke down right downtown on the I15. I had to walk through that part of town looking for a payphone and managed to find an open auto repair shop run by a couple hispanic guys who towed my car and repaired my car while I continued my trip on the greyhound. There were a few people wandering around late but nothing really felt dangerous at all. I wouldn’t dare stop in that town now.
Visited my wife’s aunt and uncle in SB in the mid-1990s & was very glad to leave. Very underwhelmed then, can only imagine what the CA trendline has done since.
Destroyed by the deadly combination of the diseased mind of the elitist leftists and the complacency/turn the other cheek nature of just about everyone else.
I remember “San Berdoo” in the 1950s and 1960s. It was a small town back then, relatively speaking.
We’d drive straight east from where we lived near the beach and once we hit Redlands we’d take the road north up into the mountains. Spent a lot of time up in those mountains over the years. That was another lifetime ago.
The saving grace is that we lived in Highland, which was a nicer area at a higher elevation. It was a good little town to grow up in and I have a lot of fun memories of my teenage escapades.
I’m still in touch with a lot of ppl from San Gorgonio High School and San Bernardino Valley Junior College, altho most of them left the area decades ago. Makes me sad to see/hear how far it’s fallen.
What race DON’T American blacks have a grievance with?
I saw this on youtube days ago. I was stunned. San Bernadino is almost equal to Detroit in its squalor. Its shocking.
nice
Wow. We lived in Mira Mesa for a year. Early 80s.
Funny how I watched this video last month. Nick Johnson does a good job highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of cities. San Bernardino was strong when taxes were low, women focused on the family, men took their families to church and students wore slacks and dresses to school. Yup, San Bernardino was strong in the 1940’s and 1950’s, just like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Reseda were strong. Today, the silly rules from satanic government leaders leads to disrespect of just about everything. Jerry Brown worked with Jim Jones and yes, Jones was full blown possessed by Satan. ‘Nuff said.
They appear to hate even themselves
Straight from the horse....
