Gangs in some towns.

Cost of living isn't as bad as a couple years ago because housing is coming way down.

This is also going to cause a big problem. The state is required to recalculate the value of your property (if you request it) to lower your property taxes. There goes billions in revenue in a state that is already bankrupt

If that is what California is like where you live then you need to move... anywhere and quickly!

But if you are basing this on all the whinners and malcontents in this forum then congratulations, you have one a prize - The lotto in an offshore country. All they need is your bank account so they can wire millions of dollars to you right away.
