I was carjacked in my driveway and burglarized twice in California. We lived in Riverside, in a middle class neighborhood. It was just bordered by crap. We fled for our lives when we moved six years ago. People on here gave us crap, saying that we were traitors to California and that we should stay and fight the onslaught. I think the war was lost over 30 years ago. It's just that no one knew it yet.
But, maybe I should move back and risk it, because those caves around here are scary! It's the karst geology. I've heard of people walking along and the ground just swallowing them up. The lakes might look nice, too, until you're near them and you get eaten alive by all the bugs.
Think of ‘em as FREE BAIT.
