Bit if you've heard this is the case, well...that must be right..

You've heard a lot of stuff you choose to believe. Solid.
I'm Hispanic, and have lived here my whole life, and I don't speak Spanish, not do I "NEED" to. Most of my siblings don't speak Spanish either.

There's just a lot of paranoid people out there... lol.

Yeah, it's how the poor immigrants live, 10 people in a 3 bedroom house.

We lived 9 in a three bedroom house, it happens.

It's not just "Poor immigrants," it's poor people, period.

OMG ... really? Is Newsome a stoner? or just delirious? So is Newsome running for president and sees DeSantis as his competition?

Feel free to chime in.
I have 't seen the ads but will probably find them mildly amusing when/if I do.

Stoner would be my bet.

We'll be 3rd World soon enough and the whole US will be more like this.

Soon CA will be a good amount of illegals that can't afford to keep up with their place to keep it clean. These conditions will spread to nicer areas further up north. No way would I live in CA. I've heard the horror stories from people that have moved to my state. They also refuse to go back. They are so happy to be out of that place.
The old timers tell me that it ain't the same CA they grew up in. So many things are different now. Houses cost them as little as $40K. The population was way smaller. Public employees didn't have king salary, pension, and benefits like they do now. And of course, there were less illegals.

Doesn’t Newsom care about Climate Change? He shouldn’t be encouraging MORE people to move to California. Terrible impact on the environment!

I hope everyone in Florida doesn't have the same type of restrictions as we do here. Or at least SF. Seems that you aren't allowed to park in your own driveway/carpad now. A couple was fined $1,500 for parking their car on their own property.

Just when I though SF was regaining some sanity by removing that goofy DA. They're still doing some crazy things. smh

Oh, don't worry. In Florida you can park your car on your own lawn.
