Fine, and itās never worried me and Iām not worried in that sense, Itās more that at the elderly age Iām achieving, it doesnāt seem worth the threat.
Growing up in Los Angeles, near east la, I can tell you that la is way under reported. 2 guys I knew personally in high school were murdered.
Another crazy kid who came around my friends shop murdered a neighbors family and did horrible shit to their little girl
Another high school guy I knew, good job, 2 kids, great wife tried to kill himself and family with the parked car in the garage routine. They died, he didnāt .
Last FEAR concert at the paladium guy was knifed to death by skin heads out front after the show.
North Hollywood bank robbers, one guy used to work with me and obviously crazy and on drugs.
Iāll stop here⦠You get the idea. And I lived east of east Los Angeles, supposedly a ānice areaā.
The actual city of Los Angeles is basically District 9 especially around downtown skid row. The entire county itself is a total embarrassment with no escape except for maybe Beverly hills.
I live in Ontario which is not in L.A. county; itās in San Bernardino county, same as big bear. Ontario is huge and has a lot of different types of areas: downtown (nice but old), the Mills/airport (nice), Ontario Ranch (very nice, where I live), the Paisa area (like most poor Hispanic areas; shitty), the rich farm houses area (super nice, huge homes, Bev hills type).
TALKING about crime and how the city has been going to sh!t is NOT a popular topic among Leftists here.
Weāre in a completely Leftist run city, county & state. They have had years now to implement countless pieces of legislation that affect everyoneās day-to-day lives.
It is undeniable, what their choices have done to this city.
And Leftists just want to ignore it. No matter how ābeyond thunderdomeā this city gets, Leftists canāt or wonāt acknowledge the extraordinary harm their policies have done. They donāt know what to do because everything they THOUGHT was a good idea, wasnāt. So most just ignore it.
They live in a state of total cognitive dissonance.
Sounds like our resident Cool-Arrow, a Californian who talks about Republicans and how terrible they areā¦all while being a resident of the most poorly run state in the country, ran entirely by Dems.
where at in LA are you referencing? LA county is a pretty big place.
are there parts of LA county that are garbage? yep. are there parts of LA county that are fucking awesome? yep.
would i like to see a better plan for the homeless? yes.
the idea that LA County/SoCal is on this downward spiral thats going to end in idiocracy is fucking hilarious. chicago, memphis, NYC, etc and their surrounding suburbs will beat us there by decades if/when it ever happens.
personally, im beyond happy living in probably the most conservative city in the most conservative county surrounded by the most CCW license holders per capita in all of CA. will i have a farm/ranch outside of CA at some point? maybe, been a bucket list thing for a long time.
but its pretty fucking hard to beat waking up in the morning to damn near perfect weather, great people, tons of shit to do and near endless opportunity.
Thatās kinda how I feel. Right now in OC the benefits just really out way the negatives for me & my family. Me & my boy were able to get up early & have pho for bfast in little Saigon then build some sand castles in Laguna & be home in time for lunch.
