This type of insulting behavior is unwelcome here. You are no better than who you are replying to with that attitude.
lol touched a nerve did I? Why are people so defensive of criticism of California? I’ve lived here my entire life and can tell you what’s great and what’s not. I want to change what isn’t working but if you’re just in denial about reality how can things ever get better? There’s a homeless camp under nearly ever freeway overpass… how can we be doing so well if that’s true? Go drive around Oakland or Fruitvale or Antioch or anywhere along the 5 or 99… California is in bad bad shape. It’s not all Palo Alto or Malibu…
Yea actually I think you did. I know you are just trolling but the callousness and ignorance of your comment did annoy me. It's such a brain dead lack of an argument that it just irritated me.
You didn't even cite an actual study, you just implied there was one... and most of the studies on homelessness I've seen come from groups that have either questionable methodology or you have to wonder about their motivation. You just hand waved that you read one that said something like you were Moses coming down from Mt Sinai with the word of god. Sorry, but maybe you're the ignorant/foolish/naive one for believing anything you read because it reinforces what you want to hear (confirmation bias). And why can people not criticize California without someone flipping out? I live here, I know what's good and bad. Anyone who comes here from Europe is shocked at the wealth inequality, homelessness, open drug use, open prostitution in LA/SF, etc. I'm not even saying something controversial. I truly think it says more about the people who want to put their blinders on and say "California is perfect and above criticism!" It's not!
