NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Stop snowflaking. Cali is now the 4th largest economy... so adapt or get out.

Did you find a Long Beach in any other state? Neither can anyone else... so Cali is where it's at.
 
So you’re good with the highest unemployment, highest taxes, highest regulatory bureaucracy, highest homelessness, most drug addicts, highest gas and energy prices, highest outmigration, one of the biggest budget deficits , highest housing and rental rates, high crime and illegal immigration, lowest test scores and dumbest kids, so we can grow the economy?…that’s adaptation? That’s failure. 👎🏽😡🦄🌈
 
I think the point morekaos is trying to make is that California could be great in all aspects, not just weather/location.

If California took a more moderate approach to taxes and operating business environment it would be in a much better place - kind of like a business that maintains lower profit margins but makes it up on volume (think In-N-Out).

It would probably run huge budget surpluses every year. But as we know, politicians can’t help themselves and will do anything to maintain power and here we are. The state tends to luck out just by the sheer size of the population. There are so many people here that there are always up and coming businesses that help the CA economy grow (or maintain its size) but then when they become a mature business the tend to leave the state.
 
But if that was the case, cost of living would even be higher because everyone would want to live here.

It's the circle of life.

No state is perfect.

that’s the problem, the cost of living here is not being driven by demand alone. It’s being driven by stupid shortsighted, government, bureaucracy, taxes, and over regulation….self inflicted wounds with no real benefit.

You don't get it. If we get rid of everything bad, cost of living would skyrocket.

There is no utopia.
 
Sunset Blvd used to be so cool…thanks Boy King…mission accomplished!👎🏽😡😡🦄🌈
We recently stayed at The London to see Ace Frehley across the street at The Whisky and that part of Sunset Blvd was nice and felt safe. So many cool bars - had the best cocktail of my life replete with gold leaf at the roof top pool bar at The Edition.
 
President Trump please send more national guard…we are under siege!!!🤦🏽‍♂️👍🏽🇺🇸
It is so crazy to see something like this happening in Cupertino (where the median sales price is 2x Irvine). Years ago (prepandemic), I had my car window smashed and backpack stolen in Cupertino while eating pizza and the cops didn’t take a report or even bother to come out. Event traumatized my toddler. The city has a super high Asian population and yet events like these show the Bay Area is still suffering from a lack of basic crime deterrence. I think that is in part why pricing there has stagnated a bit compared to Irvine, Newport, and south OC.

Dems are losing us by the bushel…🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂👍🏽🇺🇸

In liberal San Francisco, Asian immigrants are joining the Republican Party in droves


Concerns about public safety and education have led many immigrants from Chinese-speaking regions to reject progressive politics in San Francisco.

Jason Zeng has a bold prediction: “I think the Republican Party will win in San Francisco in the next 10 years.”

Zeng, 32, an immigrant from China, is a registered Republican running for Congress against longtime Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

The difference in visible police presence between Silicon Valley communities and South OC is stark. Burglaries are widespread in nice areas up there. It’s a problem.
