Nailed it. And we also have the worst roads gas taxes can buy.

Yep, saw it coming over 25 years ago and split Ca. Had to leave with pretty much nothing but the shirt on my back. Best thing I ever did...

Ever since the 60’s, as California goes, so gross the nation.

The LA homeless pretty much spend their lives in tents or under tarps.

I couldn’t tell you the racial makeup of the homeless.

East 6th Street had the most tents I saw.

Wilshire Blvd. had some tents.

The lowest California gas price I saw was $4.59. The price of $4.79 was pretty common.

The Getty Center, the Norton Simon Museum and The Huntington were nice places to visit.

The LA County Museum of Art had only two buildings open - $24, same price as The Huntington, which had some rooms closed off.

“Pelham has said this here for decades”

Like a male Cassandra I was doomed to utter accurate prophesies of disaster that no one would heed.

And I had a front row seat to watch the destruction unfold.

The dude who was spookily accurate was author Jean Raspail in his 1973 “The Camp of the Saints”

I-5 north of San Diego had bad traffic backups when I passed through.
