If you scroll back up to the pictures Anaconda posted that is the CA I very day I can get away from work. I live in Thousand Oaks, CA a quiet small city that was very conservative and semi-rural when work brought me here 30 years ago, Thousand Oaks is still a clean and low crime city BUT like many places in the US it has become more liberal and is now about 50/50.
My friends are conservative and I Work in I.T. were coworkers are much more conservative than other professions so day to day it is no different than when I lived back east. Price vary but I paid $3.09 for gas yesterday but it is still way to high, very few homeless in our town but when work takes me near LA they are everywhere.
CA politics are getting even worst and I plan to move when I retire in a few years but where to? Everyday I read more and more states coming up with with new gun laws as bad or worst than California. VA, CT, NJ, NY and many more all have terrible guns laws and if the metro area's of Pittsburgh and Philly get their way even my native state of PA will be screwed by anti gun politicians.

To answer the OP's questions:
Yes, it's really true
It's mostly the big cities
It's not nice in the rural areas either.
Best thing is for more and more folks to move out................millions hopefully
If you have friends and relatives here..............tell them to move out too.
We need a one way wall/fence around the state, kinda like Hanco's pig traps in reverse. No newcomers allowed. We're full.
I say move them all to FL, IA, and especially TN.

My niece is fairly liberal, but in a naive and sweet way. But even she is fed up with California. She and her husband want to move, "but to where?",
She says, "We don't want to live in Trump Land. Where else is there?"

In the meantime, keep paying Newsom's salary.
I've been to just about every corner of that state and the mindset is incredible. The amount of white, and especially American, guilt could choke a horse.

Tons of homeless junkies in Chico and starting to see needles and schit more and more in commercial areas. Sacramento is two to three times as bad and I've grown used to watching where I step when working there. Really stupid to hear the libs say it's a "housing crisis" and then talk of building housing for these scroats! It's the decline of modern society that started with decriminalization of theft, legalization of marijuana and over crowded jails. There are zero consequences for bad behavior and these low lifes know it. Yeah, some have mental issues (drug induced or otherwise) but a very small percentage imho. Prop 47AB 109Prop 57We need more prisons!!! I agree. I live in Sutter County. Homeless is a issue. The river bottoms I use to troll as a kid, fishing, hunting, swimming and riding dirt bikes as a kid are occupied by homeless. It’s a disappointment and disaster. I no longer feel safe riding bikes with my kids, walking to the river to fish. I have had dogs be aggressive toward me while fishing, two legged [bleep] check me out as they would want to rob me. It sucks now.

Didn’t somebody ask this just last week?
In all honesty all the problems you describe are limited to portions and less than ten cities and towns in CA. I have yet to even see a pile of feces, but I know there are areas in some cities that experience these things.
There are portions of Seattle that experience the same, but I doubt the whole state of WA is covered in scccchit.

It sucks now. We had a vagrant try and set up shop down by the river behind our place. My elderly neighbor saw the guy and told him to move out. Gave him an hour. When his "camp" was still there an hour later, he compacted the junk with the bottom of his loader bucket to make it fit and then scooped it all up and drove it out to the highway and dumped it were the county guys would have to clean it up. His theory is they talk to each other and you want them to tell their junky friends how scary and mean you are. Lol. Gotta love good neighbors.

California truly does still have some amazing places. I miss the places I grew hunting and fishing. The town I grew up in is a complete [bleep] now. Sucks.

I have a question for those of you who live in California.
I grew up in southern California but I did not return after I got out of the service. It realised even then that the LA metro area was not a healthy place to raise children, at that time.
I have seen a couple of recent videos which portray California as a sesspool. One stressed that for those who live elsewhere and think that Californians are exagerating, they are not. Apparently CA has more homeless people than the rest of the country combined. People are schitting on the sidewalks and it's so pervasive that you have to watch where you walk. Gas costs $4.50/gallon. Gun laws are getting more and more restrictive. You now have to use non-lead bullets to hunt anywhere in the state. Power outages are common and the utility company is bankrupt. Real estate prices are ridiculously high.
I've heard that droves of middle class working people are migrating out of CA to other more healthy places.
So here's my question to you CA guys. Is it really true? Is it limited to the big cities? Are the rural areas still OK?
All of my photos happen in other places. I'm real good at photoshop.. These guys that live in other places knew that all along....🤣🤣🤣 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/xT2Xqrfk/IMG-20190908-063522-903.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/x1K1KG21/20191221-154621.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CdpV1tdH/20191228-151319.jpg) keyboard error laptop asus![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/J4jsqC38/IMG-20191126-124408-223.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/wvJy31kC/IMG-20180112-145817-068.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tJWMrNNB/IMG-20180106-113630-996.jpg) s much as guys on here incessantly bitch about California, there are quite a few worse states in this Country that an Outdoorsman could choose to live. I'd leave, but not for just anywhere.

Born and raised in TO! Lived there from 1968 to 1992 when I moved to Sacramento to go to school. TO was a neat town back then, and always secluded from the Valley and rift raft, Though the gangs were moving in when I was in HS, 84-87. We lived in Lynn Ranch.
