Now, with all due respect to FReepers who live in CA, I wouldn’t visit there on a bet.

If you like small towns California is still nice in some places.

I like Northern California. Mount Shasta is a really nice little town.

I don’t like big cities and prefer not to visit them any more than necessary.

I had to visit Seattle last month and could not wait to get out. Seemed like there were homeless under every bridge.

Seattle is in a race to the bottom with Frisco and I wouldn’t be surprised if it got there first.

I had a recruiting firm contact me about a job over there and they were gushing about the salary being $120k/yr. But with high cost of living, high crimes rates, state income taxes and extremely high housing cost (a simple 2x2 house is going for $6,000/month). I just told them NO WAY JOSÉ!

Not too long ago my twenty something niece visited SF with a group of her girlfriends. Her primary memory of the city? It smelled (mostly of urine).

What do you have against New Mexico that you'd dump San Francisco's problems onto them?

What kind of a solution is that? Why New Mexico?

San Francisco use to be my favorite, most beautiful big city.
Today a serious crap fest not worth visiting.

Normally, I admire dedication...

Okie
Couple years ago
My family was driving Pacific Coast Highway from Seattle to SanDiego.
When getting to Frisco on a Friday evening.
Going in to the city traffic was stoopid busy.
I turned on the radio to see what was up.
They were having the largest gay festival the world had ever seen.
I told my son we could go to the city and he could assault Jesus on a street corner and get a notice to appear.
Some fag grabbs your ass and you kick his ass you will be thrown in jail forever.
We spent the weekend in NAPA.

I figured the guy who made the comment that his Third World home was cleaner was from India, being that it’s a medical convention. I’ve been to India too. DEFINITELY Third World in what you see on the streets. But looking back, there was some order to it. The people weren’t doped out and they definitely weren’t using the streets as toilets. Hard to believe it only took SF 20 years to go from First World to, I guess, Fourth World.

It’s always Democrat run cities that people want to avoid.

I attended an IEEE embedded conferenece in 2000 in SF and it was scary walking from my hotel to the conference center.

I traveled with my Glock 36 on this trip — 45ACP and mags < = 10 rounds to stay within California constraints. You can probably guess whether I left this essential tool in my hotel room or carried it on my person.

Tent cities just like Sheriff Joe Arpaio built. Provide all the comfort of homes, TV, Cable, a place to crap, a place to clean up, internet. Swamp coolers and fans for air conditioning. Have decent medical staff and mental health staff.
