Yet the Northeast is far more educated, wealthier, healthier and has a far lower suicide rate than the West Coast. According to statistics, the Northeast also has the lowest % of people on anti-depressants. The Northeast boasts the lowest obesity rate in the United States. The Northeast boasts the lowest crime rate in the United States. The Northeast boasts the lowest unemployment rate, unlike sky high unemployment found on the West Coast.

All fact point to the East having the most sane and desirable populace (and economy) in United States, yet, the Northeast is still an allegedly (according to you) unhappy place? LMAO!

"Unhappy" = keyword for misfits who clearly gravitate towards whacky places like LA. Los Angeles attracts the wrong type of people.

As an American, I really pity Los Angeles. It would be great for Los Angeles to get back on track, but IMO, Los Angeleles is rapidly declining. The brain drain, the awful economy, the retarded elected officials, the illegal immigration catastrophe, the recent departure of important Los Angeles corporations (which would be fine if Los Angeles had many top-brass corporations, but it severely lags behind cities like Houston and Dallas when it comes to that.).

Los Angeles needs help.

I find it odd that people have to bring in an entire region, such as the Northeast, just to compete. That alone should tell you that California is a leviathan. There are 38 million people here. 10M in LA County. Still the world's 8th largest economy. That contradicts everything you just said. Talk about DC, that is one little ghetto of a city and outside of the tourist areas, I hear it looks like a Thriller video, with cracked out zombies reaching into cars at stoplights. They even caught Mayor Barry, doing CRACK!

I will now add 'wrong kind of person' to my resume. Oh yeah, I liked object of 'pity' as well. Yours is by far one of my favorite anti-Los 'Angeleles' rants yet.

Below are observations by some 'retards' regarding our 'whacky' state:

Southern California economy is beginning to gain strength, forecast says - Los Angeles Times
CCSCE - Center For Continuing Study of the California Economy
California economy ranking among world economies - California Economy | EconPost

PS: Washington DC is a huge employer. Could that have alittle something to do with the fact that employment is higher in the East?

Oh yeah the Northeast is so desirable that people are moving in droves to North Carolina. The "rust belt" continues to lose people and the large cities look like huge ghettos. Boy, it's pathetic that someone from the most corrupt and crime-ridden city has the balls to lecture Los Angeles. Out-of-state trolls are a classless act of envious and bitter boors watching even the South challenge them for superiority. Go home troll and maybe learn how to spell. duh!

You advocate for New York, yet complain about the high taxes of California.

Care to do a side by side comparison of income, sales and property taxes???

The point is two East Coast trolls vomiting their hate and self-loathing on California, as usual. The OP has never posted anything in his own state forum; nothing more than a fake persona getting his fill of thrashing a state he is both jealous of and unable to make it in.
