California has towns like Needles and Barstow,Fresno,Porterville,and Los Angeles. Complete [Bleeeeep!] holes. And now Frisco is getting worse. Go to Oakland and see how bad it truly is there. Homeless encampments numbering in the thousands ,the bereft of society,dregs. It's sad. In salinas the gangs are as bad as almost anywhere in the united states. I don't get it. I also don't understand all the hatred from one state to another. For as many people that hate on California more people are moving here,and I'm not just talking illegals. Whatever happened to one nation,under God? Now it's us against them. I joke about the PNW I loved it up there. I love it here too. I guess it's perspective. Perhaps the shithole is between your ears. Drink some more Malt Liquor ,that should help. That last bit wasn't directed at you,Reefer Madness....
