California is more prone to natural disasters than Houston, which is just flooding & high winds from tropical storms that rarely ever make land fall as a true hurricane, at least not further inland. Galveston Island can get a direct hit from hurricanes because its right on the water.

Oh wait, did I forget to mention the ****ty California economy & housing options?
Was all this really necessary?

^ He only spoke the truth.

I guess straight to the point honesty is hard for people to handle.

Personally I've noticed it on this side of the website, and its just double standard at its best. (In my opinion of course)
I guess I haven't been paying that much attention but can certainly attest to the hatred San Francisco gets on many other CD forums since I have been in the position of defending the Bay Area quite a bit. But the people who do most of the bashing don't live in either Texas or California or misrepresent where they live. There is a phenomena on CD of some posters who are totally preoccupied with negativity and direct their anger at a certain city or state. It is very primitive and pointless to dialogue with them since they are not interested in honest exchange. Those are the posters to avoid.

LA is a city with so many problems that it's not even funny. Time for the citizens of LA to face these problems and stop trying to hide them.

Metro Matt made could points and all of what he said can be backed up with facts. People who salivate over LA (like yourself) are too blind to see their problems. WAKE UP!!!
