Their are some tearing down old homes and building huge new ones in my neighborhood, and their also seems to be a dwindling middle class and far more poor.
California anyway has 90% of their births on welfare and a third of all the welfare in the country. I don’t see much promise in the near future for my state.
Don’t feel too bad about California where you reside. Other states are just going at it slower. My county will be just as bad in 20 years.
