No. It's mismanaged.

Japan is the same size as CA yet has 5X the people. It is mismanaged in many ways, too. But they do know how to do things like mass transit way better than we do. They also live a healthier lifestyle and live longer, with less chronic disease, spending much less on health care as a result.

You do know that there is more to this planet than humans??

Are you one of these bible types that believe only mankind counts??

Left California is 1977. Drove through it for the past two days. What a shame....dead river otters along the freeway, dead eagles next to the wind turbines. Even skunks and coyotes dead along side of the road.

Everybody driving 80 miles an hour contributing to global warming. Not content with destroying California's natural legacy, but the WHOLE planet!!!

Enough.

Because people have this idea of what California is and/or should be and when they find out it isn't, they are too stubborn/prideful to admit it and move elsewhere.

Quite honestly I feel foolish living here.

The taxes, the snobbish neighbors, the COL, the overrated weather, dodging and swerving enormous pot-holes the huge chunks of my income are supposed to contribute to yet they remain year, after year, after year, after year.


And I was born here. I can't imagine how people who relocated don't bail with a quickness, as I am in the process of considering myself.

I agree when I'm out of state I hate admitting where I live

Southern California may be overpopulated but Northern California is not.

[Sleepless in Santee Ca]

I watch a show about House Hunting and they mentioned that Columbus Ohio has the four season's? ture or false?
Is it expensive to live in Columbus? because it sure is in San Diego, Santee Ca . I'm lucky I rent a room for $ 675.00 a month. I was sharing a room in Chula Vista for $750.00. How is the rent out in Columbus?
Can you rent a 3bedroom home 1 1/2 bath cheap? Sleepless in Santee.

Eastern California is empty.

Very much so, at least in SoCal. Which is why I hardly drive at a distance anymore.

I think California, like the rest of the country, should both legalize murder and public executions - and in terms of the jail problem it faces, it should use the latter - start mass killings of inmates so as to free up space...
