That’s how I know you’ve never lived here or been here likely for very long or only been to LA. Most of California are world class cities with perfect weather and massive developments.
The living standards are just as much influenced by the general population as the administration over them. This is the tail end of a huge problem that should have been handled a long time ago. The fat will trim itself in some cases unfortunately.
The homeless industrial complex is very real and very much alive. Politicians and "community managers" use homelessness to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to themselves, their friends, and their businesses/corporations that benefit them

Californian here; it''s a dystopian nightmare. I live in downtown Long Beach, where you have luxury highrises surrounded by squallor and homelessness. Supermarkets need to lock up all the goods behind cages. Small businesses are closing left and right because their windows are always smashed in from theft. Cars are always broken into on the streets. But we're still paying premium prices for the "privilege" of living here. Also, you wanna own a house in the city? Expect to be on the hook for 700k for a 1br box. Anything less gets you a brick shithouse.
Just sickening. I sometimes leave the keys in my vehicles and my two out buildings aren't locked. I live on a dead end dirt road and my neighbors leave their garages open with dirt bikes and four wheelers in them. There is a lot of gunfire down here though. Paper targets get shot almost daily.

In spite of that, you pretend to know exactly how the people in the State of California actually voted. Did any of you witness the count personally, or are you just repeating what the vote counters told you the results were?
Not to worry the people of California have figured it out and are jumping ship to their neighbors. The population in Phoenix has tripled since the 90s, and they drove up the housing prices since they figured out where the real gold mine actually was.

Sure the democrats methods are not really fixing the issue, but let’s not pretend the republican approach of tax cuts for the Uber wealthy would be any better. If you actually take a look at where these kinds of crimes take place and you’ll see it’s in communities of poverty. So the answer is to fix poverty and crime will go down. Maybe if Walmart wasn’t paying poverty wages whilst having their employees subsidised by the government and actually paid more from their obscene profits then people would have more prospects. All this is assuming you actually want to reduce crime and not just be tribal with your political affiliation and just point blame at people without offering solutions.

I ran away from home due to CSA as a young teen, I took the greyhound bus to San Francisco from Cleveland Ohio, in 1997. Lived for a few weeks hopping from place to place but ended up hooking up with an old “friend” and staying with her for a few months. Thankfully I stayed clear of the more dangerous drugs, pot and shrooms aside. Anyway I made my way back to the East after a year or two, put myself through community college and became a nurse. Now I’m married with a family and a completely paid off home of my own. It all depends on the person, not everyone decides to lay down and die.❤

"At least he isn't a Republican or Trump," they'll say as they're $50k in debt and $0.01 away from going homeless
It goes well beyond and before Newsom. Mismanagement goes as far back as Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown who first governed (and failed) the state back in the 70s. He started many of the bills that we deal with now, and even acted as a mentor to Newsom at one point.
One of my granddaughters moved to LA two years ago. She was so excited to get to California. Now, she plans to move back to PA due to high apartment costs and crime aound where she lives. She lives in a supposedly better North LA neighborhood a few blocks from Hollywood, but she regularly sees shoplifting. Fear of crime keeps her at home most of the time, except when she has to drive to work. She's done with all that.
As a Californian, I can confirm that it is ridiculously expensive to live here. On top of that, the new stupid minimum wage increase makes it even worse because California was already rated the worst state for business friendliness. The small city where I live, General Mills moved and close down their factory, and laid off all the employees to move their factory to Mexico. And the prices of renting an apartment and buying a home ridiculous. So ridiculous that I still live in my parents, because it’s so expensive. I would want to move out of California, but my friends and my family are here.
I had to make that decision to move away from family and friends, but if I didn't I realized I would own nothing but a used car. So I packed up, told my family and friends adios. After learning about investing, I was able to buy my own house. It wasn't going to happen if I stayed in Sunnyvale. I would still be a slave.
I live in this state in one of its large cities. Can't stand it but can't leave due to employment. Am retiring early, however, and leaving the state and country. Liberal wokes destroyed the major cities in the state. The interior is still nice and rural, but get to the urban areas near the coast and you'll see.
Remember that in the mid-2010s, California also banned so-called "single use" plastic bags for groceries and other retail items which took away the disposable, portable toilets many homeless people used and then within a year, the streets were literally covered in human shit and San Francisco had to set up a "poop hotline" for people to report piles for the city come clean up.
I don't know, man. I used to believe that. But after revisiting Tarik Carroll's EveryMAN Project campaign ad, I'm starting to think we have it better than Americans.
Removing all the infringements to the 2A in Cali and allowing residents to defend themselves again would go a looooooong way to cleaning up Cali. I would say its one of the most important steps in trying to clean the state up.

As someone who lives in California, you're not wrong. For example, we were driving home from buying suites in LA for a party and on the way. We went to Downtown LA and saw a lot of homeless people. It was very depressing, and thx for the video.

I grew up in southern California, and it's always been pretty bad, I was homeless from the age of 13 til 20 but after 2020 something happened and shit just got marginally worst. Prices hiked up like crazy, homeless people started popping up in caravans, gangs started getting bigger, all the houses and apartments got bought up, the credit checks became unreasonably high, rent prices skyrocketed, employers require you to have 5 years of experience for a entry level job with minimum wage, theft became a daily occurrence and just things generally got worse. I used to work retail in a mall and I've been in more fights and situations with people there than in the actual boxing ring. And people would just walk in, and smugly walk out with arms full of clothes, or they'd come in huge groups and just start looting, most times carrying weapons or things like tasers or pepper spray. Even one time some guys pulled a jewelry heist and caused a huge mass shooting commotion in the mall. I always went into work wondering if today was the day I finally get shot. But I didn't have to worry long cause I ended up being fired for extremely petty reasons. Then me and my 6 roommates had to leave the house we were living in cause the owners wanted to sell it from under us, which they got like 8k at the most. And I became homeless all over again. I was super down on my luck and honestly ready to end it all, but then a friend of mine offered for me to live with her in a small town in Utah. So I drove there and in 2 months, I landed a high paying job, got my own apartment, and I'm just generally thriving now. I can pay my rent and still have enough leftover to be comfortable with, i finally was able to decorate my apartment and get wifi for myself. And I just feel so much better and safer. I remember thinking that if I got paid anywhere else in America what I got paid in Cali, I'd be able to survive, but I was making 21$hr and still struggling to eat and pay bills. I get paid less than that at my new job but I still am able to live comfortably off it. Back in Cali I lost everything, I didn't progress I regressed literally back into the same place I was when I was a child. Once I left I immediately got back on my feet and more. I couldn't have done it without my friends and God, I feel like I didn't just leave California, I escaped it. You don't live there you survive, if you can even do that. What I hate the most is that I still love California, i love the beach, the social life, the mountains and woods and everything else, but it's so far from what it used to be that it's just not obtainable. Maybe if things get better, I'll return, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. And to anybody still living in California who isn't at least surviving semi decently. There's nothing there that's worth fighting everyday for the rest of your life just to be below mediocre living. And the funniest thing about it is that I lived in the cheapest city in California
Glad you are doing well now! I agree with you that all the beauty and nice things in CA aren't worth it if you have to struggle so much just to survive. You can always just visit CA when you want to, but have a comfortable and decent home base elsewhere
Yes definitely. Left in 2014 and I never want to go back there. Yeah, I always had a view of the ocean, but was that cost worth everything else in my life? Not to me.

For example, if the blue party wins 20% of the vote, they get 20% of the house seats. As a result they have much less binary and polarized politics.

Just stay out of LA. San Diego is still very much a great place to live. Even San Francisco still has its charming parts of the city. Yes homelessness is rampant, almost everywhere you go will have some degree of homelessness, even the small quaint beach towns unfortunately. But it’s not as bad as most videos and Fox News make it out to be. In San Diego and most of SoCal it’s mostly stragglers and the odd congregation of drug addicts smoking meth or just hanging out. Just stay away from the parts of the city that have obvious urban decay and look sketchy. It’s not hard to stay away from the encampments. This state is still beautiful, the only problem is just how expensive it is. Also California has a lot of problems but at least we aren’t dealing with mass r*pes and Islamization like the cities in Europe.

Learned something new today. Had no idea that Prop 47 required active participation of private guards to detain and testify against offenders in order for a sentence to be passed down. That's ridiculous... Guards aren't paid enough to risk their lives over petty junk or go in on their own time to testify in court.
The land, nature, and weather of California are so beautiful but unfortunately the cities and society are so disgusting thanks to the governing bodies and those who vote for them.

Two things: 1. I love that you showed Kamala Harris - like, let's never forget that she pushed for Prop 47 in CA, so she's just as much to blame for its downfall... and now she wants to run for president? Unless you actually want the whole of the US to turn into California, then we shouldn't be voting for her. 2. The biggest takeaway that I got from this video is that, if Prop 47 were to be repealed, then maybe California might return to normal within a few (5-10) years?
It's not prop47its homeless transplants they come for the weather .......thanks maga states for shipping them here ...no one wants to talk about whats really happening
Prop 47 is just a symptom of a far larger problem, socialism and the degradation of our culture, and also the abandonment of individual rights in favor of virtue signaling and woke nonsense.
Harris, Newsom, and Jerry Brown before them made it the way it is. Then add their George Soros bought and paid for District Attorneys that refuse to prosecute most crimes and persecute innocent to add to prop 47 and prop 57 that followed which further legalized major crimes prop 47 had started to legalize. It put most criminals back on the streets with no fear of any consequences. They need to repeal both 47 and 57. But the election system is rigged by those in power so don't expect that to ever happen
Dude, its blacks not political policy. Compare high crime rates to demographics and you will find just as many red as blue. Stop being a coward and tell the truth
Hi certified peace officer here. A misdemeanor is an offense for which an individual cannot be jailed for more than one calendar year. While a felony is an offense where someone shall be incarcerated for one year or more. It is misleading to suggest misdemeanors are the same as parking tickets, which are infractions generall punishable by fine. The reality the broader criminal element became emboldened to commit more crimes if they know they'll only do a few months for "minor" offenses

They did a study that showed the hand to mouth movement is a large part of nicotine addiction. The brain registers it as consuming food. Apparently this has helped people come off nicotine but I haven't tried it. I've cut back on cigs almost entirely but have switched to vapes and pouches like zyn. Atleast cancer isn't in the cards as far as we know.
Yep, it actually forces the part of the brain associated with correlation to trigger a bit which satisfies the psychological addiction of cigarettes but without the physical addiction of the nicotine withdrawal being satisfied, apparently it's actually been somewhat successful at helping people quit smoking completely.
As someone who was born and raised in LA, it’s heartbreaking to see how bad it’s gotten. I always thought I would grow old and die in LA. I ended up moving to the Midwest, and it was the best decision I made. California does not care about its citizens.

Cars are always broken into on the streets. But we're still paying premium prices for the "privilege" of living here. Also, you wanna own a house in the city? Expect to be on the hook for 700k for a 1br box. Anything less gets you a brick shithouse.

If you actually take a look at where these kinds of crimes take place and you’ll see it’s in communities of poverty. So the answer is to fix poverty and crime will go down.
Maybe if Walmart wasn’t paying poverty wages whilst having their employees subsidised by the government and actually paid more from their obscene profits then people would have more prospects.

As a Californian, I can confirm that it is ridiculously expensive to live here. On top of that, the new stupid minimum wage increase makes it even worse because California was already rated the worst state for business friendliness. The small city where I live, General Mills moved and close down their factory, and laid off all the employees to move their factory to Mexico. And the prices of renting an apartment and buying a home ridiculous. So ridiculous that I still live in my parents, because it’s so expensive. I would want to move out of California, but my friends and my family are here.

Just say its black you coward. "woke" just means anti-White and these crimes are being committed by blacks.
They all American citizens, wtf u talking about?
@@anon-zk6iz It isn't the cause of the problems the video talked about, so it doesn't make sense to bring up here (probably just rage bait), though short sided, naive opinions about immigration is another symptom of the same root problem plaguing California.
Funny enough though 3 of the top 10 destination cities for illegal immigrants are in california, so no, they aren't actually all american citizens.

I can attest to the smell. I escaped LA last February after a 3year sentence. I'm so happy to be free
As someone who lives in California, you're not wrong. For example, we were driving home from buying suites in LA for a party and on the way. We went to Downtown LA and saw a lot of homeless people. It was very depressing, and thx for the video.
the majority of of the crimes in america are done by a small group of repeat offenders and it doesn't take much to figure who they are lol.

I live in the San Bernardino County which is like an hour away from LA, almost everywhere is ruff here in California now. I’d say one problem we have here is the takeovers and the damage they cause.

Listening to California gurls the other day in the car. We were singing along but when the song finished I said "sound like a hedonistic hellhole", my friend adding "a regular hellhole if you're broke". So we were right too, splendid
I grew up in southern California, and it's always been pretty bad, I was homeless from the age of 13 til 20 but after 2020 something happened and shit just got marginally worst. Prices hiked up like crazy, homeless people started popping up in caravans, gangs started getting bigger, all the houses and apartments got bought up, the credit checks became unreasonably high, rent prices skyrocketed, employers require you to have 5 years of experience for a entry level job with minimum wage, theft became a daily occurrence and just things generally got worse. I used to work retail in a mall and I've been in more fights and situations with people there than in the actual boxing ring. And people would just walk in, and smugly walk out with arms full of clothes, or they'd come in huge groups and just start looting, most times carrying weapons or things like tasers or pepper spray. Even one time some guys pulled a jewelry heist and caused a huge mass shooting commotion in the mall. I always went into work wondering if today was the day I finally get shot. But I didn't have to worry long cause I ended up being fired for extremely petty reasons. Then me and my 6 roommates had to leave the house we were living in cause the owners wanted to sell it from under us, which they got like 8k at the most. And I became homeless all over again. I was super down on my luck and honestly ready to end it all, but then a friend of mine offered for me to live with her in a small town in Utah. So I drove there and in 2 months, I landed a high paying job, got my own apartment, and I'm just generally thriving now. I can pay my rent and still have enough leftover to be comfortable with, i finally was able to decorate my apartment and get wifi for myself. And I just feel so much better and safer. I remember thinking that if I got paid anywhere else in America what I got paid in Cali, I'd be able to survive, but I was making 21$hr and still struggling to eat and pay bills. I get paid less than that at my new job but I still am able to live comfortably off it. Back in Cali I lost everything, I didn't progress I regressed literally back into the same place I was when I was a child. Once I left I immediately got back on my feet and more. I couldn't have done it without my friends and God, I feel like I didn't just leave California, I escaped it. You don't live there you survive, if you can even do that. What I hate the most is that I still love California, i love the beach, the social life, the mountains and woods and everything else, but it's so far from what it used to be that it's just not obtainable. Maybe if things get better, I'll return, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. And to anybody still living in California who isn't at least surviving semi decently. There's nothing there that's worth fighting everyday for the rest of your life just to be below mediocre living. And the funniest thing about it is that I lived in the cheapest city in California
Glad you are doing well now! I agree with you that all the beauty and nice things in CA aren't worth it if you have to struggle so much just to survive. You can always just visit CA when you want to, but have a comfortable and decent home base elsewhere
Yes definitely. Left in 2014 and I never want to go back there. Yeah, I always had a view of the ocean, but was that cost worth everything else in my life? Not to me.
This is what Germany fought against back in the good ol' days.
The most regulated state doesn’t regulate their government spendings
I disagree with the premise. California is what you get when you have government without society.
California is more than LA, SF and Oakland
*and San Diego. Most relevant cities saves us time
Out of criousity, is there places in California that people aren't forced to defy the laws of universe and scrape the barrel of relativity and legitimize every perversive activity in the name of ''freedom''?
@@AbuzerKadayifi've heard northern California is much better than the southern half of the state, with a lot of northern Cali residents wanting to break off entirely and form their own state, but that's because they're ultimately still living in a state that's basically abolished the 2nd Amendment and has the previously mentioned Prop 47.
Can someone from California explain to me why the citizens are complaining when they are to blame? They should openly thank the criminals and homeless. Y’all voted for this and will do it AGAIN. So this should be like paradise for California folks.
Democrats just can't help themselves!
You act like 100% of us are voting for these clowns, meanwhile it’s more like 55% lol. The other problem is the lack of options bc of the two party system, you end up voting in a useless grifter either way
@@matthewhoward3154 I understand what ypu mean but two-party system in a voting is kinda inevitable. This is really because one party will be more liberal while another becomes more conservative.
@@OddKud214 it’s not how most other democratic nations are. It’s mainly because of our “winner take all” election style and systems like the electoral college which make it extremely difficult for third parties.
In many European countries, for example, they vote in their “house of representatives” equivalent by giving each party the portion of the vote they received. For example, if the blue party wins 20% of the vote, they get 20% of the house seats. As a result they have much less binary and polarized politics.
I’m not saying that’s what we should do, just that it isn’t impossible
@@matthewhoward3154 I know what you mean. In my opinion the electoral college shouldn't be disbanded I just think it needs to be a lot more balanced with tye majority vote and other such. This is so the candidate public likes more and third parties also can have says in elections. Yk?
Im a surgeon in Germany, when I studied I’ve dreamed of moving to California and work there, but I wasn’t to confident to do the USLME back then. Now I’m not sad, that this dream did not come true.
I've grown up in CA. I can't wait to leave this state as those in charge push everything I am opposed to. They've destroyed everything it once was and is corrupt through and through. You made a good choice as Los Angeles and surrounding areas have become slums
Same for me but as a software developer/engineer living in Spain. Western Europe is far from perfect, but compared to most of US nowadays (at least the states and cities where you can find the famous "6 figures" work opportunities) it is still a much better place to live regardless of the salaries.
I moved to CA in 2023, ended up healing my body and my mind. I have had a very positive experience. It’s a much more nuanced situation than this, but it’s not CA residents jobs to go door to door and correct peoples Fox news delusions of what SoCal is.
Just stay out of LA. San Diego is still very much a great place to live. Even San Francisco still has its charming parts of the city. Yes homelessness is rampant, almost everywhere you go will have some degree of homelessness, even the small quaint beach towns unfortunately. But it’s not as bad as most videos and Fox News make it out to be. In San Diego and most of SoCal it’s mostly stragglers and the odd congregation of drug addicts smoking meth or just hanging out. Just stay away from the parts of the city that have obvious urban decay and look sketchy. It’s not hard to stay away from the encampments. This state is still beautiful, the only problem is just how expensive it is. Also California has a lot of problems but at least we aren’t dealing with mass r*pes and Islamization like the cities in Europe.
I visited Germany and German Switzerland after the pandemic restrictions were lifted. As someone who has lived my adult life mostly in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle, I think you are correct, lol. Unless you're a millionaire or billionaire! Then American alpha cities are GREAT!

Learned something new today. Had no idea that Prop 47 required active participation of private guards to detain and testify against offenders
in order for a sentence to be passed down. That's ridiculous... Guards aren't paid enough to risk their lives over petty junk or go in
on their own time to testify in court.
The land, nature, and weather of California are so beautiful but unfortunately the cities and society are so disgusting thanks to the governing bodies and those who vote for them.
Füm does not have any peer reviewed studies confirming the harmlessness of their products, the oils you breathe in using them. Targeting people with anxiety with an advertisement like this is also quite shitty.

It is insane what california has become in just 20 years.
Two things:
1. I love that you showed Kamala Harris - like, let's never forget that she pushed for Prop 47 in CA, so she's just as much to blame for its downfall... and now she wants to run for president? Unless you actually want the whole of the US to turn into California, then we shouldn't be voting for her.
2. The biggest takeaway that I got from this video is that, if Prop 47 were to be repealed, then maybe California might return to normal within a few (5-10) years?
It's not prop47its homeless transplants they come for the weather .......thanks maga states for shipping them here ...no one wants to talk about whats really happening
Prop 47 is just a symptom of a far larger problem, socialism and the degradation of our culture, and also the abandonment of individual rights in favor of virtue signaling and woke nonsense.
Harris, Newsom, and Jerry Brown before them made it the way it is. Then add their George Soros bought and paid for District Attorneys that refuse to prosecute most crimes and persecute innocent to add to prop 47 and prop 57 that followed which further legalized major crimes prop 47 had started to legalize. It put most criminals back on the streets with no fear of any consequences. They need to repeal both 47 and 57. But the election system is rigged by those in power so don't expect that to ever happen
Unfortunately, Harris is going to win. Because she's a black woman and 99% of black people and women are going to vote for her. It's that simple.
Dude, its blacks not political policy. Compare high crime rates to demographics and you will find just as many red as blue. Stop being a coward and tell the truth

I appreciate your work very much. Thank you for consistently producing quality content.
Hi certified peace officer here. A misdemeanor is an offense for which an individual cannot be jailed for more than one calendar year. While a felony is an offense where someone shall be incarcerated for one year or more. It is misleading to suggest misdemeanors are the same as parking tickets, which are infractions generall punishable by fine. The reality the broader criminal element became emboldened to commit more crimes if they know they'll only do a few months for "minor" offenses
Don't you have some ⚫️ people to catch and not arrest for a crime?
@HannibalKing-e7e idk you never see white ppl looting and pillaging. I've got statistics for you if you can stand pulling your head out of your rear end. You are part of the problem
are zoomers really buying flavored air to breathe lmfao? what was that sponsored ad?
As opposed to adds for buying cigarettes in the past?
They did a study that showed the hand to mouth movement is a large part of nicotine addiction. The brain registers it as consuming food. Apparently this has helped people come off nicotine but I haven't tried it. I've cut back on cigs almost entirely but have switched to vapes and pouches like zyn. Atleast cancer isn't in the cards as far as we know.
Yep, it actually forces the part of the brain associated with correlation to trigger a bit which satisfies the psychological addiction of cigarettes but without the physical addiction of the nicotine withdrawal being satisfied, apparently it's actually been somewhat successful at helping people quit smoking completely.
As someone who was born and raised in LA, it’s heartbreaking to see how bad it’s gotten. I always thought I would grow old and die in LA. I ended up moving to the Midwest, and it was the best decision I made. California does not care about its citizens.
