Crime L.A. is a mess

[CantCucktheTuck]

seems like a lot people with the financial means are leaving.

They will make the problems vanish temporarily, like when the Chinese visited

I grew up in the Detroit suburbs, and then worked in a "not nice" area of Detroit for a few years...

But I never saw barbed wire on highway signs till I drove through LA.

Not shitting on SoCal, loved my time in San Diego.

San Diego =/= The rest of California

 

[HereticBD]

We'll see. You'll be amazed at what the government can do overnight if they have great incentive to do so. Their reputation is on the line? Clean up the garbage! Enforce the law! Push the homeless into the sewers!

Bingo bango, clean city.

 

[Stoic1]

I lived there for a bit. No thx.

Traffic, parking, pollution, and fake people.

Oh I know, got to see the rest of it, the good and the bad

 

[TribalDrumz]

Fucking haters generalizing

San Diego is somehow 70-85 degrees all year long

Went to SDSU in 1990 and played baseball for a year

Came from Colorado... Wasn't prepared for TJ - College Night = $.50 Dos Equis and $.50 Tequila shots

lol.. I'm in Houston

Came here for work from Colorado, the Latinas are in the Top 3 reasons I stayed

It's a mutual appreciation... Italians and Mexicans might as well be cousins

LA has gone massively downhill recently. Everytime I go there for a training class I’m always shocked how much further downhill it’s gone.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

graffiti on bridges? that's disgusting! horrible! thankfully it only happens in los angeles!

 

[lowlife]

I never would have imagined conservatives turning into whiny babies after all that bitching they did about liberals being snowflakes, yet here we are. My how the tables have turned lol.

In what way? I've lived in Houston, Cali, and CO and I've never heard that before.

 

[Madmick]

It’s the same problem for any place that breeds great prosperity.

WTF are you talking about? Tokyo is one of the wealthiest cities in the world, it's metropolitan area has over four times as many people as LA County, warm weather, and yet it has just over a tenth the homeless population.

 

[AtomicPanther]

Hopefully they still have that wonderful landmark, Cecil Hotel...........

yeah and the CEOs there only make what 6 times the avg worker and here it’s like 400, so I’d think that has something to do with it. But yeah prosperity will bring desperate people. It’s the exact reason why immigrants will get on a raft and float to America. Or atleast that’s why republicans have been telling me why this country is so great my whole life . Money and opportunity are going to bring all kinds of people needing money and opportunity. Sorry that’s a hard concept for you to grasp.

We are not even close to one of the richest cities or states.California is 51 billion dollars in debt and LA is 1 billion dollars in debt. Gavin Newscum had the balls to lie right before the election that we had a surplus of money that suddenly disappeared a year and a half later. Dont believe anything california joker says.


The claim of a recent, massive California budget surplus is a myth because it was based on severely overestimated revenue projections that never materialized. By 2024 and 2025, that forecast surplus had transformed into a significant deficit, forcing the state to implement spending cuts and draw from its reserves.
The myth vs. reality

• The myth (2022): Based on a spike in tax revenues during the post-pandemic recovery, Governor Gavin Newsom's administration announced a projected budget surplus of nearly $97.5 billion. This led to a large increase in state spending.
• The reality (2024-2025): The state's Department of Finance later acknowledged that its revenue forecasts were wildly inaccurate, overstating projected income by $165 billion over a four-year period. The projected surplus became a serious deficit, with the Legislative Analyst's Office estimating a shortfall of $73 billion for the 2024–2025 fiscal year.

you didn't see how fast they fix shit when Xi visited?
