Something funny happened recently. It took 3 years to talk my fiance into moving from Cali. she had lived there for 44 years of her life. Now it has been 3 years since we left. After a recent visit back to see her father, she came home to say…..” there is not enough money in the country to make me ever move back there.”

She now hates the traffic, people, economy, and attitudes of the place. I guess it was’nt just me that realized the stupidity of the place.

Some times it works perfectly. Perfect for people without a job. Maybe that’s why the unemployment and underemployment rate are so high. If its more than 10 miles away forget commuting there. If you do you can join the masses of zombies. One of these zombies plows into another everyday causing you to go insane!

No city on earth is as bad as LA. It doesn’t have to be, but selfish Californians make it that way. They hire the illegals and more come everyday. Surprise! They clog up the road along with people that are forced to commute 1-2h every morning. You could stay at home, but you have to pay for your ridiculously priced home. One that cost the builders maybe $30,000 and $100-300,000/lot, that has now morphed into a $500,000-1,000,000 property of pain. One place that you pay some silly HOA to hire illegals to plant delicate flowers that have to be pulled every 3 months in the California sun.

Everyday there is a hit-and-run where some guy without insurance runs away. Why do so many people put up with this. I think we all are in a daze and secretly hope we will make enough money to retire or move away. They jack up the costs every other day so you never get any further ahead. Why do so many people here buy luxury cars. What a waste of money. I hate LA. Why is everyplace so crappy, but the cars so nice. Along the highway is trash, yet nobody spends some of that lux-car money on a trash pick-up. Why is some guy begging me for money, when some of your lux-car money could get him in drug treatment. Why is some illegal bothering me when you could of closed the border with your lux-cash. Priorities people! A lux-car is stuck in traffic like all the others. Nobody give a sh*t about your car. There are bigger issues!

I hate the dust that blankets my car everyday and makes my bike chain chunky! In LA the smog is unbelievable! Above the mountains is a certain yellow as if it is a sceene from a bad sciFi movie.

Everything is needlessly expensive. Then there are so many bums, homeless, and illegals trying to wash your windshield, car, grass, landscaping, irrigation, ect. I am not disabled I can do things myself. Why don’t you f**k off and do something useful. Oh yeah they can’t do anything since nobody in the state will hire “certain” people, instead they hire a whitey that does jack s**t and collects 3X what he would get anywhere else. Its just a land of extremes and I hate it. Wash your own car, take a paycut, and stop whining about your taxes. Stop hiring illegals to do your s**t. You are not helping them, you are taking advantage of them. You don’t earn the money you get, you get it since 10 other people have to sponge off of you to buy a taco. I hate this state!

I think what the posters above might be referring to are illegal immigrants. It’s nice that you feel that your people are united, unfortunately that is largely not the case if you come from a different race. I’ve been largely discriminated against by mexicans because of the way I look. My dad gets called gringo by mexicans all the time when he tries to befriend them, and he married a woman with spanish blood in her. I’m not saying that all mexicans are bad. My best friend is half mexican, but racism can go both ways.
