I can recall business trips to CA in the 1980’s. It was nice back then.
San Diego, LA, San Fran, all nice. The people were different from what I was used to, MidWest USA. Not evil, like now, but different nevertheless.
Now, with all due respect to FReepers who live in CA, I wouldn’t visit there on a bet.
It’s a shame to sit and watch CA dissolve into a reeking pit.
In the last year 150 people in downtown SD died of hepititas from homeless urinating and dedicating on the street. Now they spray the street and sidewalk 3 times week at a cost of tens of thousands month.
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.
