The California state government “drove it into the ground”? RI residents would kill for just a fraction of California’s economy. Why did you move there in the first place, and why did you leave?

Central Valley? OC? San Diego?

Housing speculation in a lot of places in the U.S. has made a basic human necessity unaffordable for most people — we need to de-commodify it …

Oxymoron? If it’s booming, how is it being over-regulated? And if those ‘oppressive’ regulations were removed, wouldn’t it “boom” even more and get even more expensive …?

>It also sucks to make a honest living to and ravaged by criminals whom get a slap on the wrist.

What kind of honest work did you do there, and what crimes were you “ravaged” by?

>I see that my opinion is unpopular however no one has any sort of rebuttal.

Not sure about that second part, but it’s hard to rebut generalities — hence my questions.

>I am not attacking any side

Didn’t you say the (Democrat-controlled) state government had driven California into the ground? They’re a side …

>I just don't get it is all

Fair point

I can see you are closed minded which is part of the problem. However I will entertain your questions. I lived in LA performing contractual maintenance. It is over regulated in a sense of over taxing, silly regulations like too many cars in a private parking lot and such. I was ravaged by petty theft, a couple hundred bucks of metals cause thousands of dollars of damage to your vehicle. My opinion is unpopular based on the down votes. I never said Democrat....

It's cool tho, continue being a smart ass I'm doing just fine.
