I have lived in California my full 52 year lifespan and California is a lost cause in the short term. The jury is out about the longer term but I’m not hopeful.
Basically, California needs to crash and burn financially in order for the left-leaning middle class to wake from their socialist dream and get back to basics in life. That is the only hope for California.
With a flood of hard-working taxpayers leaving the state, being replaced by a permanent semi-literate underclass, I am not sure anything can save California. I do hope California rises from the ashes like a Phoenix after the financial collapse. I doubt that financial collapse will be terribly soon, but I think it is inevitable the way the state is going.
It’s heartbreaking to see that one of the greatest states in our nation in such decline. Stunning really. I can remember reading years ago about CA’s position in our country and the richness of the state; wealthier than some countries on the planet.
How did this happen? At what point did the reins get seized by lunatics? I was out there in the early 90’s a few times on business (defense industry; Gen Dyn, Rockwell, Douglas) and the state was still flourishing. Or seem to be. Even contemplated moving there. I cannot understand how one of the greatest states has fallen into such circumstance and what kind of idiots continually vote for those lunatics?
A friend of mine lived in Mission Vejo (sp) and moved out in the mid-90’s because he saw what was coming I suppose.
I’m sorry that good people are caught in a position which they have no control over.
