That is actually radical stuff and now we are all having to deal with the consequences. In the rural North Bay the consequences are limited but for those of us dealing with repeat broken car windows or worse, it is a big deal, and meanwhile the cops and City bureaucrats don't give a rat's patoot.
So arm yourself and fight. 2nd Amendment, freedom to open carry, and all that is no fun if you don't use it, no? Show the world you do indeed give a rat's patoot with aggressive, decisive action.

I am saying this because you are referring to middle income people who don't want to live in housing stock that would be considered low income in the rest of the country as underachievers.

So I guess to you, everyone who's not at least a 5%er is an underachiever. Or do you merely talk a big game but are yourself struggling to maintain a finger-hold here?
I am whatever you need me to be, brother.

California's SF Bay Area: Google, Facebook, Youtube, Netflix, Intel, Cisco, Apple, HP, Tesla, Uber, Yahoo, Twitter, LinkedIn, Oracle, Symantec ....

California = spearheader of the tech innovation phenomenon

You other states are just jelly. California is where the innovation at

California may have several major business headquarters but that doesn't automatically mean it's a pleasant place to live.

Pleasant is relative. A non white will have a more pleasant experience versus living in a redneck town in the south who thinks immigrants are out to steal unskilled labor job that no American wants

Haha

People from other states are jealous of California because California is diverse and innovative

Most of those companies are not just headquartered in California, they were BORN in California.

It just depends where in California you live. If you live in some economically deprived backwater town with high crime than sure it is not going to be pleasant. It just depends what your looking for and California is quite large and has something for everyone.

And yet you won't move out of the state.

Why is that?

I don't know who is worse you or the other joker who is down in OC always badmouthing CA, yet they're looking to relocate to San Diego, don't get that. The two of you constantly badmouth CA but won't leave the state.

Again, why is someone in Illinois(how many governors of yours have gone to jail now?) is so obsessed with CA?

I don't believe you have even visited CA.

You're like the guy who can't the pretty girl to go out with him so you badmouth her to anyone who will listen.

Odd, very odd.

Oakland is a prime example of the high CA crime rate which isn't in a deprived backwater town but attracts only finest of CA thugs.
