And so do the illegal aliens, the horrible schools, the bloated local and state government (I think there are over 2 million state and local gov't workers in CA), the bums, the welfare recipients, the gangs, the grafitti, the stupid laws, and the outrageous taxes.
CA has been in serious decline since the 1980's. That is undeniable.
The weather used to be the main attraction and everything else was a bonus. Now the only plus is the weather.
P.S. And now there are even gangs on Catalina Island!! WTF?!!?!?
1. Illegal Aliens are a problem is you want to talk politics, jobs, etc. But the fact is that the massive immigrant populations is responsible for a huge influx of lovely, hot, crazy, fun, and curvaceous women that love to party.
2. The cops do a real good job of keeping everything separated - bums, gangs, etc. You live in the right areas and you see very little of this - in fact you see none of it. Like when the Fullerton cops killed that poor homeless guy, the fact is that in most parts of Fullerton there are no homeless, no gangs, no graffiti -and now you know why you can take a walk at 2 in the morning without incident - because the cops keep everything separated.
3. The laws are crazy but hey if you cant beat them join them, I started an offline business for many years where people would pay me just to navigate them through and schmooze the right people.
4. Private schools.
5. Taxes are a problem, but when you make enough, you can avoid most of the big numbers. But yes it almost becomes a second job.
Despite everything I would still like to visit California sometime.
There are bums all over LA. I was just in Beverly Hills yesterday and I saw at least 3 bums in 5 minutes. Beverly Hills should be a "right" area, no? You don't see many in OC but they are everywhere in LA.
For every hot Mexican chick here there are several more on welfare.
Sure there are private schools but they aren't cheap and if you send your kids to one you have to pay for both private and public education. Also, the graduation rates for the kids of illegals is dismal. The schools are churning out thousands of kids who have no marketable skills whatsoever. They can't even put a simple sentence together. Press 1 for English.
They'll either go on welfare or join gangs.
Now, if you want ignore all of that and just party in ignorance, sure CA rocks but the future of CA is doomed.

i've seen more homeless in san francisco than homosexuals.
All you Cali lovers - How bout that 405 huh? Yeah boy!!!!!!
Wisconsin is so much better than Cali. brb just stopped in for a minute, heading back to the bar.
The weather rocks but just about everything else sucks:
1. Taxes
2. Regulations
3. Illegal aliens
4. Pro-Mexican state legislature
5. Nanny state bitches who want to ban everything from plastic/paper bags to balloons.
6. Anti-smoking Stalinists who want to outlaw smoking everywhere, including your apartment.
7. Roads worse than those in Afghanistan.
That's just a handful of the things that suck. Cali's last great decade was the 80's.
