He must have been in LA.
California is a very large state. LA and San Francisco are just one small part. There are vast stretches of California that are open and clean with small towns and friendly people.
If California was split up you would end up with a liberal half along the coast and a conservative half in the Valley.
California is going to be like the drunk that hits rock bottom before it turns around. Some of the problems are not going to get addressed until other states realize that out of control immigration is part of the problem. That is already happening. I can see a day where our borders are secure, and illegal aliens will be treated like the criminals they are.
Of course immigration is not the only problem.
Environmentalist and do gooders have all but crippled our economy. Again, I think the pendulum has swung as far as it can go and is beginning to swing back.
Lastly, the public employee unions must be destroyed. We now see why until recent history public employee unions were illegal and why public employees were barred from political activities. Their greed is helping to destroy this state.
So I still live in California with the hope that it can once again return to it’s former glory.
Good list.
“Corruption” belongs on it too.
