The future of the central valley is grim. Fresno is looking more and more like LA every day with bums and gang member hanging out on streets.The police are overwhelmed. I am suspicious that state buses criminal and section 8 recipients to the central valley because there is more room and the cost of living is less. There are no jobs here. The largest employer is the Hospital systems and the state government. Agriculture is being crushed by environmental regulation and government restriction of water, both a result of liberal policy. The high speed rail will rip though thousands of acres of productive farm land. Real estate is destroyed. The state legislature passed a law to allow people to sue the banks resulting in delaying foreclosure so that people will stay in the foreclosed house for years without payment or eviction. The banks will stop loans and no one will be able to buy your house. Utilities are going up both because of failing infrastructure, buying power outside the state and free services for the poor. Public schools are frightening and you would never send your kids unless you had no choice. They have so many restrictions on guns and lead bullets. The people here of Mexican decent have family in Mexico and they want no restrictions on the border.Illegals have brought disease, corruption, crime, and poverty. The pandering liberal legislature is willing to make this a sanctuary state. If you have any net worth the state will extract it because it is all about redistribution of wealth.
The paradigm here is so toxic that California should be jettisoned from the union. It would be like cutting off a gangrenous limb. Personally I am trying to leave but I will take a huge financial loss.
It is infuriating what they have done to this beautiful state, all in the name of socialism and totalitarianism.
When this state had liberty, it was a gem. Now the rot is prolific from Canada to Mexico.
I just want vengeance on somebody for destroying my beautiful state.
When I was young boy living in San Francisco, 8 or 9, I would say a little thing like, “I am so happy I was born in the BEST city in the state, in the BEST state in the country, in the best country in the world.”
Now, San Francisco is the most degenerate city, California is the most socialist bankrupt state, and the government of the USA is thoroughly corrupt. It is still the best country, but no longer by leaps and bounds.
It is just maddening what the communists and UN have done to us. Just maddening.
