In Santa Cruz Live Oak, you see vast majority illegals at the schools. They must unload them in dump trucks. Third graders dressed in gang banger regalia, where do they buy that stuff?
Yea, I really want to pay more taxes for this psychotic shit and "sanctuary" status. These aren't schools any more, they are simply a third world "other" with union shills paid by the state to expand the system any way they can.
I guess the parents who really want education for their children have been forced into home schooling, both for safety and advancement of their children.

You have that straight. It has been that way since the early 80s.
And I might also add educate your children with truth and facts not some PC wacko CA version of civil rights and not making Lakesha or LaFreka or Ting Pa or Juanita or whomever feel insecure or inferior to the other children, (and THAT is preciously what this crew in office wants to see take place.)
I have one response to that, it isn't going to happen with my children.
Best of luck in Nevada and I promise you won't be missed
You live in a Third World neighborhood I would expect you would say such a thing.

Nevada of all places!!! Nevada is one of the few places that is worse off than CA in almost all metrics.
But hey the grass is always greener on the other side-well in the case of NV, it is sagebrush!!
CA seems to be coming back, the last few months, it has eclipsed Texas in job creation . The only thing that bothers me is the price of housing-which I think is obscene.

I encourage you to come tour 94618 and reassess your ignorant comment.
For the record, I agree with the original thread starter that we in CA are making no shortage of compromises to be here. But telling the "suckers" that you are moving to Nevada is not making anyone jealous, I assure you.
I am not moving to Nevada. What are you smoking? I wouldn't live in Nevada any more than I would have an Oakland address.

good gawd, what drugs are you on? Did you read the original post?
Bukowski lived in CA he knew the score.
“You know the typical crowd, Wow, it’s Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there? Well, yeah. Because there’s nothing out there. It’s stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I’ve never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. That’s all. Sorry for all the millions, but I’ve never been lonely. I like myself. I’m the best form of entertainment I have.â€

Oakland is a diverse area. West Oakland is like Compton. But the Oakland Hills is a very nice area.
As for Bukowski, that is a very narrow view of California. CA is so vast, from the farm towns, to the mountains, to the desert , the rain forest and the big cities, beach towns, suburbs. If you don't like the crowd you are hanging out with-it is easy to just pick up and move and experience a new facet. It certainly ain't the midwest.
My friend got tired of the L.A. rat race, quit, bought a small house in the Mt Shasta area, works a small retail job and goes hunting and fishing a lot. He has never been happier. Plenty of cheap housing in California-outside the "zone".

I was waiting for that inane comment. If that is the best you can do to defend California then I pity you. I was not asking to be missed just making a comment pertaining to the story you sad person.

"Poof, be gone" WTF? Are you Glenda The Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz? Or is that hood language? You live in Oakland. I don't.

I wasn't speaking about racial diversity. I was speaking about the difference in neighbourhoods. I wouldn't live in west oakland even if they gave me a free house and cash. It is very close to SF and is well connected with BART.
But Oakland Hills is a very nice area, several of my former colleagues had houses there and I know the area well. It is a nice area.
But not sure what you are trying to say. Have you been in third world countries-because I have lived there.

Having lived for 2 years in a supposedly better and richer part of CA namely Huntington Beach I can tell you this place is a dump.

Opinions and facts are two different things. What are you basing your opinion on?
I wasn't speaking about racial diversity.
Oh you weren't? I was. Oakland is Oakland. I know someone who wound up married in Oakland "Hills" and frankly its shite in my opinion. Oakland isn't that large of an area to be ghetto and great and it isn't. It is just real and pretend. I was shocked learning she was in that small sliver of diversity, that was esentially a stones throw from a Black Panther haven, especially after her coming from the Riviera section of Pacific Palisades.

You suckers who pay so much to live in a shack can have it
LOL! You sound bitter leaving CA. Could it be that you couldn't make it here? Is that the reason why you sound bitter? For others, you couldn't pay them to live in Henderson Nevada. Different strokes for different folks. No reason to be pissed off.
Other California renters are thanking you for leaving the state. If enough people are leaving, CA house prices might become Detroit. On behalf of the renter nation, I thank you for leaving CA. Better luck for you in NV.

Learn from your victory. Prosper from your failure.
Yes I am bitter because I believed the lie about California being the state to live. It has cost me a great deal of money and I wish I would have gone straight to Nevada 2 years ago.
I made it before I got here old son so that is a very shallow assumption considering I have also wrote of the obscene Ca state tax I have paid.
Again it is people like you that have to justify the reason for staying that keeps the myth alive.

AMEN BROTHER I got out of CA in early nineties, and never looked back.

I came here 2 years ago thinking this was the best state in the US and I had always dreamed of living here.
Well guess what it just isn't that good. The beaches are not as good as Florida's with the nice calm and warm gulf. The taxes here are killing me. My california taxes alone will pay the rent in most other states. gasoline high, Too many illegals ruining the schools and people begging everywhere.
I have now decided to leave and go to Henderson in Nevada which has just been voted the second most safe city in the US. With vegas on the doorstep I will never be stuck for something to do and the added benefit I will be able to buy a huge house to fit my 12x6 snooker table in and have a swimming pool.
California is living in a beach boys past and I am sorry to say it has had its day. You suckers who pay so much to live in a shack can have it
