Leaving California: Civilization is collapsing in the major cities of the Golden State
American Thinker ^ | 11/25/2021 | Mark Landsbaum

Posted on 11/25/2021 10:46:23 AM PST by SeekAndFind

I ran into an old California buddy online Sunday.  He asked me why I moved to Texas.

We didn't have a lot of time, so I gave him the shortest explanation I could: "It's not California."

For the ten or so friends, all former Californians, who have moved near us in Texas in the last year or so, no further explanation is needed.  In Texas, 80 looters don't pull their cars up to the swankiest department stores and loot the place in broad daylight with impunity.

San Francisco is different, and has been for a long time, nearly as long as it has allowed urinating and defecating and sleeping and shooting up heroin on public sidewalks.

That town's mayor said this week they are finally going to "crack down."  Will police arrest the thieves?  Well, we will have to see about that.  It's still a misdemeanor in California to steal anything under $950 in value.

But they are not going to allow people to park cars near the stores.  That should work — as well as anything else in California works.  It also should discourage paying customers and maybe clear the aisles for the looters.

We've been in Texas nearly nine years.  We've yet to see a human turd on a public sidewalk, let alone a human depositing one.  We've yet to see a mob of thieves swarm a store to take away as much as they can carry while police look the other way.

San Francisco Police chief William Scott told NBC Nightly News stores must be willing to hire security guards to make a private persons arrest.  How's that working out?

Consequently, criminals, some wielding weapons and crowbars, load up, leave, then return for more.

As proof that California is a lost cause, look no further than the last recall election.

They had the chance to replace the incompetent Gavin Newsom with a good conservative, Larry Elder. Guess what? The Californians voted to retain Newsom!

They deserve everything they get. The state is a lost cause.

Weather is the main saving grace of California. Other than Hawaii, you won’t find a state with better weather. Which just shows you what people can do to ruin what God has given them.

This state has everything. It’s perfect. Except for the government and the control freak industrial heads and the people who fall for the aforementioned. It’s that simple.

"How did California become so bad so fast?"

It really wasn't so fast if you were paying attention.

Every bleeding heart liberal that whines about so called food deserts needs to have this story shoved in their face

I was just telling someone the other day that California is falling into the ocean.

I hope and trust it will come back with a huge paradigm shift of changed minds throughout the state. Then maybe it would be safe to return. There’s so many wonderful things about California.

Your right man, there is no voter fraud in California, just like how there was no voter fraud in the 2020 election and Biden honestly won 90 million votes.

And yes the majority of California is democrat because the Democratic party says so and they would never lie, and please ignore the ballot harvesting and names on voter rolls of dead people and illegals

Oh yeah and the whole state of California is bad because of looters in San Francisco and Oakland and as we know the entire state of California is just Oakland and San Francisco and there is literally no other locations in California besides those two cities

California has been cheating in elections since forever. If you think Newsome won that recall, then you must think Braindead Biden won last November.

Speaking of fleeing to Florida, word is that Nancy Pelosi has bought a multi-million-dollar pied-à-terre in a ritzy Florida neighborhood.

Meanwhile: Pelosi’s home/winery in St. Helena, Ca. and other homes are shown below:

So, Nanzi Pelosi has found a new place to be on the other side of the country on the Floriduh Coast.

So what does this tell you? About her personal plans for the rest of her Elite Lifestyle?

You’re still trying to peddle the narrative that CA is a conservative, pro Trump patriot majority!

That’s amazing!

Which makes it still a nice place to visit.

We just took a mini vacation there. Visited friends and relatives. Bet on the ponies at Del Mar. Swam at Huntington Beach. Back home in Arizona three days later.

Someone mentioned, the other day, she’s doing this so that she and CommieLa can both be “Prez” and “VP”.

To stick it in DeSantis’ and PDJTs eyes.

Whaddaweeotch. She’s as senile as Brandon.
