California not so golden anymore. Run-away immigration, and overcrowding is not helping quality of life.

To think this is the state that USED to be Republican and was home for the Reagans. It makes me sick. The golden state is TARNISHED. Cannot go to the beaches anymore, crime is too high, gangs run rampant, and with Special order #40 thanks to Los Angeles City council, Immigration haven it is.

What are they gonna do, force people to live in the crappy areas? Getting rid of a lot of the inane regulations regarding homebuilding would be a good move, too.

Housing and air quality worsened…The fundamental issue this region faces ... is the income issue…Students perform below the national median on reading and math test scores, while 76 percent of residents do not have a college degree…lower-paying service jobs.. less wealth…dramatic increases in the cost of housing…

All of these “interconnected” problems all at once! The report doesn’t state why this is happening to Southern California specifically. I wonder if there is some factor not mentioned in the report?

"..Students perform below the national median on reading and math test scores,.."

Not good to be underqualified, yet want a highly paid job.

The secret to living in such an area, is to not have to commute. Ideally one would work and live in the nicer areas.

And there are many of them, often near the Pacific Ocean. Also many of the inland hill communities.

The seventh annual State of the Region report by the Southern California Association of Governments

These are the same morons that wanted to charge California drivers for the amount of miles they drove per week. I wouldn't put much faith in anything they say....

Yes, but you can see flowers and do some outdoor BBQ during winter, or so I'm told fairly frequently.

California used to be a hellava' place to live. I have relatives that have seen the hand writing on the wall and left or sold their overpriced homes at a handsome profit and found cheaper digs east.

don't generalize to the entire state.......you of course don't know much about Calif......overcrowding is MOST prevelant in So Cal and some in Bay Area but not really anywhere else. You could go to any number os places in Calif and you wouldn't know if you were in Texas, or New England or the great plains etc......it is way to diverse to generalize though I know many here just like to bash Calif when actually not knowing much about it

Immigration is only a symptom. The cause being incompetent politicians(those that think only of themselves and not the welfare of all. Secondly, 'persons' are holding office- that for various obvious reasons- do not even belong to our society.)

If anyone really believes that the problem is illegal immigrants why don't you get your local police to bust the employers of illegal aliens?

The Bush administration has reversed federal interpretation of immigration laws and now says that state and local police can enforce immigration laws.

The CBP will even train your local police to enforce immigration law.

Instead of bitching about Bush why don't y'all do something constructive and demand that your local mayors and police chiefs bust your own local employers of illegals?
