I moved to Los Angeles a lifelong liberal. During those 5 years I lived there, I became a conservative. I will tell you this - Newsom is widely hated. The homeless epidemic is way worse than reported. They implemented a 10 fee for every plastic bag you get at the store, but the store gets to keep the income from it. It incentivizes waste, while most cucks pay the extra money with a smile on their face because they think they're somehow helping the environment. The taxes are unreal and the cost of living is absurd. The electrical grid is trash and they have had years to put together a solid forest management plan, yet wildfires ravage the state every year.
It's so bad. Cops don't come if they're on private property. I lived at an apartment building with private parking and would have to clean used needles and never-ending amounts of trash off of the walkway to my girls car when she was pregnant with our son. Random homeless people would show up and set up camp on our property, smoke crack, sleep in the middle of the walkway to our cars. The only recourse was to call a number that didn't do anything. The city would have someone drive by like a week or so after a call, they were never there when they'd drive by.
When our son was born we couldn't even take him for a walk around the block without entire sections of sidewalk being blocked off by homeless people that had literally taken over entire sections of sidewalk and benches and had trash and personal belongings strewn from the beginning of the sidewalk all the way to the curb and would either be sleeping or getting loaded in broad daylight. Thing is, we didn't live in a bad area either.
When I moved to LA the homeless problem was bad. When we left LA there was a homeless encampment under just about every single bridge/overpass. Not just one or two tents. More. It is difficult to grasp just how widespread it is. You wouldn't believe it unless you've seen it... & yet they do NOTHING.

They SUCK.
Even Anna Kasparian from The Young Turks said she signed the recall because the homeless thing has gotten insane.

I live 2,000 miles away. Thanks for the first hand account of how bad it truly is.
