First of all this is not click bait. This video shows the degradation of San Bernadino, which was once a prosperous middle class town.

My depression, greatest generation era parents are rolling in their graves, to see what this country has become.

Also this video is about an hour long, and it is funny when the narrator brings in one of his old college buddies at the 30 minute mark, the dude is Spicoli's brother, he calls homeless people neo-gatherer's.

This guy’s videos are great.

Horribly sad, but important.

That is depressing. My uncle was based at Norton AFB in San Bernadino. He lived with his family in Redlands. We went to see them in 1970 and it was a very cool place then. Lots of families and small businesses.

There has been news lately and radio interviews about how San Berdo has literally turned into a raging sh$thole of crime, human debris, homeless,... and I drove thru a few weeks ago. It has really gone downhill, but hey come to the San Fernando Valley sometime, it aint much better

She lives in Mojave in a Winnebago
His name is Bobby, he looks like a potato

She’s in love with a boy
From the rodeo
Who pulls the rope on the chute
When they let those suckers go
(Yeah-hey! Suckers!)

He got slobberin’ drunk at the Palomino
They give him thirty days in San Ber’dino

Well there’s forty-four men
Stashed away in Tank “C”
An’ there’s only one shower
But it don’t apply to Bobby

You may think they’re
Dumb an’ lonely
But you’re wrong
‘Cause their love is strong
Stacked-up hair
An’ a cheap little ring
They don’t care
‘Cause it don’t mean a thing

Looka there...
They don’t care

Best-est way that
They can feel-o
Out on the highway
Rollin’ a wheel-o
He’s her Tootsie
She’s for real-o
Trailer park heaven
It’s a real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o

The rest of their lives
In San Ber’dino
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
In San Ber’dino
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
Down in San Ber’dino
Come on with me
Come on with me
Come on with me
Down in San Ber’dino
Just 60 miles, 60 miles
Down the San Ber’dino freeway
They got some dark green air
An’ you can choke all day
That’s right!
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
Rest of their lives
Rest of their lives

Say now,
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout Fontana
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout uh uh
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout uh uh
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout uh uh
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the Redlands, no no
ZULCH is the auto works
I’m tellin’ you
That’s where they take
All the cars that they hurt
Come on and let’s all go down to San Ber’dino
Ooo-ooo

Let’s-a go down down down
Down in San Ber’dino
Wouldja b’lieve it
Wouldja b’lieve it now, come on
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
(Got to call it)
San Ber’dino
(C’mere)
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
(Oh, God, they all stay there)
The rest of their lives
In San Ber’dino

Oh Bobby, I’m sorry you got a head like a potato
I really am
(Ketchup!)

The whole damn state is going to end up blighted except of course, the coastal areas where the rich elites live. Those same rich elites are the ones responsible for putting the worst types of people into political power. We’re now seeing the results of their idiocy.

I hope the rest of the country is paying attention to what will happen to them if they don’t wise up and vote out the marxist liberals.

I wonder what has happened to my many California places in the decades since I left the state. Wherever I lived, I went on nighttime walks. What would happen if I now tried to go on a typical San Francisco walk, up to Coit Tower? Would my shoes get punctured with needles and covered with sh*t? Would I get mugged?

What a waste.

Because of the drugs, regulations against building and incoming equatorial and Asian hordes buying up real estate, neighborhoods are decaying all over the country.

San Bernardino has been a ShThOlE for 20 years easy. LA Times finally did a story on it in 2015 calling it a "Broken City". https://graphics.latimes.com/san-bernardino/

After I moved my family to Idaho, I had another engagement in San Diego. My parents provided a room for a week while I arranged lodging on the contract. The sirens and gunshots all night were outrageous. Drug deals done at the foot of their driveway. Gang graffiti on the pretty rose tinted brick wall at the edge of the property/sidewalk. It was a far cry from the pretty little city of Chula Vista where I grew up in the late 60s/early 70s. No tears shed when my mom decided to sell the house we had owned since 1963 and move to Rancho San Diego in 2005.

I once resided in a nice, quiet, fairly safe area to the east of Sacramento. Our kids could play by themselves out in front, and no tents or shopping carts.

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.

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.

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.

I grew up in San Bernardino after my dad retired at Norton AFB in 1962. I was 8 when we moved there and 20 when I left for San Diego State. Never lived there again. Both parents died there in the mid 90s so I’ve had no reason to return.

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.

I saw this on youtube days ago. I was stunned. San Bernadino is almost equal to Detroit in its squalor. Its shocking.

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.
