    So, California is gonna ship their homeless to Iowa, just to make it fair?

    California Dreamin' is not for sermon seekers.

    Like, technically, it's pretty nice in SoCal so having a roof over one's head is sort of a flawed criteria.

    I'm guessing 95% of the time, one could survive outside with a sleeping bag and be good if one were so inclined. It's not like fucking Great Falls, MT or someplace where you'd die six months out of the year.

    I can never quite figure out the Seattle bums. Now those San Diego bums have some common sense.
    Salt Lake bums are hard core. These fuckers are sleeping like babies on the sidewalks downtown when I pass spit on them and tell them to get a fucking job in the morning. 10 degrees below freezing.

    CA is great if you are rich or well off, but pretty much sucks otherwise. Hot chicks though.

    California is actually not a bad place to be poor as I found out the hard way. It seems to be the middle that gets squeezed although I think that may be overblown.

    The article said the top 1% pay 50% of the tax here. You need to be uber rich. Kind of rich and it stings. Under the threshold and living is easy.
    I was stationed in CA twice - once for a short while in Alameda before they closed it down (mid 90's), and again in the early to mid 2000's in Lemoore. I never really got the coastal CA experience, as Alameda was only for a year, and I actually lived in the Orinda/Moraga area then, and Lemoore is Lemoore, but what I did see seemed uber expensive, terribly congested, and full of elitist pricks. I was Navy at the time though so I was shielded from taxes, etc. Weather and chicks were fucking fantastic. Loved all the outdoor activities as well. Being a gun owner was a pain in the dick - had to leave half my guns with my two Dads and in the base armory since they were illegal in CA.
