Self-ping to read later.
Both born and raised in So CA, my wife and I bailed out of CA in 1995. We haven’t looked back. For us it was when my oldest son started kindergarten and he was one of 46 kids in a class. They were teaching him how to read using “whole word” techniques and Spanish part time. When he began 1st grade in the Midwest he needed to be tottered because he was so far behind.
Oh, the Midwest sucks. Its always cold. You wouldn’t want to live here. Don’t consider it. Stay out west where its warmer.
No, you weren't. Florida's largest city is not Miami, it's Jacksonville. Tennesee's largest city is Memphis, not Nashville. Virginia's largest city is Virginia Beach, not Richmond.
Gary and Compton Comparative Crime Ratios per 100,000 People
and their men look like this....
Too funny
Largest vs. Largest. You could cherry pick different cities all day.
Yeah, I guess you could put 100 of those in LA...Virgina beach? lol
So true! They escape California but bring their liberal voting habits with them. They don't seem to get the connection between liberalism and what California has sadly become.
Being from Cal, thats great news. We need more of them to leave!
The comparison was on your stated terms...largest to largest. It’s the largest city in VA, which was what you said you were comparing.
You had no problem comparing OK City to LA. OK City’s population is 537,734. VA Beach’s is 425,257. Now, because VA Beach’s stats are lower than LA’s, you moan that it’s too small of a city?
The upside of this is people in Colorado now hate Californians more than Texans.
Pretty amazing that Indianapolis Indiana has substantially more crime per capita than L.A. Cal...I was as surprised as you were.
Duh. When Ohio lost the jobs at Hoover the media 'rat-bastards whined and raged about jobs going to mexico. In fact, they went to Iowa. You can't trust a single damn thing the 'rat media tries to cram down your throat.
Well yeah....what the hell else IS there to being a liberal?
LOL. Perfect solution. Turn Colleyforrnia into Meeshigan--or Ohio, or some other rustbelt backwater.
Hey, move to Vallejo...they are on the cusp of bankruptcy!
Make that $16 billion and rising at a rate of $400 million a month.
You had to go 3 hours away from Indianapolis to find another city? You should have gone 2 hours south and you could have been in Louisville, KY or Cincinnati, OH.
3 hours south of Los Angeles, I could be in the wonderful city of Tijuana, Mex.
I don’t know who you are trying to convince but So Cal is a cesspool. I returned for Xmas after 6 years gone and could not believe how fast things are going downhill. Target and Montclair mall were very eye opening.
If you still enjoy it, congrats. I hope it works out for you. However, your tax base is leaving and more illegals and other people looking for free handouts are arriving.
The Midwest is too cold. Make sure you tell everyone in California that.
