Why California is Becoming the Most Hated State in America
The Golden State is losing its shine. ☀️ In this eye-opening video, we dive deep into the reasons why California is facing a growing wave of discontent from residents and outsiders alike. From the skyrocketing cost of living, insane real estate, and housing crisis to the devastating wildfires and political polarization, we expose the dark underbelly of the California dream.
Buckle up as we explore:
The Migrant Invasion: Why are so many people fleeing California? 🚗
The High Price of Paradise: Is the real estate. to expensive?
Natural Disasters: Are wildfires, earthquakes, and droughts the new normal? 🔥
Political Climate: Is California's liberal lean too extreme for some? 🤔
Homelessness Epidemic: Can California solve this growing crisis? 🏚️
Join us as we uncover the harsh realities behind the sunny facade and ask the question: Is California still the promised land, or is it becoming the most hated state in America?

@hibob841 24 дня назад

I live in a supposedly nicer part of San Diego. In the last three years I have had a motorcycle stolen, the license plate stolen off another motorcycle, personal items stolen out of my car, and just yesterday the registration sticker off my car's license plate. Porch pirates are rampant. The roads in some parts of town are like the surface of the moon. Traffic sucks, transit is patchy, gas is expensive. I earn $148k/year but I would need to at _least_ double that to ever hope to afford a home. Everything at the grocery store suddenly seems to cost at least $7. I have NO idea how people support families on a fraction of what I make. The only reason I haven't been forced to flee is that my landlord is a saint and hasn't raised my rent. It's been a great place to live until now, but I'm eyeing greener pastures.

@SantaFe5central 14 дней назад

“Upgrading” reservoirs is not the right solution. As trapping the water at the surface releases more water into the air then keeps it. The biggest issue is over pumping of groundwater, as it’s the main source of water for most Californians. It’s better to focus on taking care of the aquifers for longevity rather than making a new dam or making a reservoir bigger.

California has the best #1 economy in the nation, and the best #5 economy in the entire world. Californian people on average have the SECOND longest life expectancy in U.S and conservative states are on the bottom. High taxes in California goes to SUBSIDIZE those poor red republican states. If California is that bad, why is it the most populated state? why most people come to California. And keep in mind, each section of California is different. A lot of homeless in Ca also came from other states. For one , it has a mild good weather, and plenty of social programs that could benefit the homeless. Don't get me wrong, Ca has many issues, but it's a paradise compare to those red conservative states in the deep south. No comparison.

Having lived in GA, KY, TX, NC, and CA, i have to say that CA was the most beautiful by far. The trick is to stay away from LA. Central coast area and NorCal is extremely beautiful. Climate was so nice that I didnt use AC or heat for kver a year. Just opened or closed the window.

@rrrogster 4 дня назад

Better to just stay away. The central coast does have its beauty, but that cannot overcome all the sewage and filth one sees everywhere these days. From the bay area, LA, and San Diego. All are on the same downward path. It is truly depressing what I have seen change for the worse the 50 plus years I have lived here. In San Diego almost half our beaches are closed because of raw sewage! You can smell it too! This place is no longer paradise folks. And you pay a fortune to live here.

My family moved away from CA years ago. The one thing I noticed is that the people who hated on CA had either never been there, jealous...or both. Everyone thought I could surf (never been to the beach), rubbed shoulders with movie stars (does Santa Claus at the mall count?), frequented Disneyland on a weekly basis (I was there once in a stroller). They bought into the image sold by movies/tv and through some inferiority complex thought I wanted to hear what they thought about my birth state. CA has its problems like every single state, much of which is due to the huge population. But give me the beauty of open farm land, coastal mountains, Yosemite, giant Redwoods/Sequoia, and yes, sunsets into the ocean...all with perfect weather any day. There's really no state quite like it.

I agree. Live in California and Getting ready to retire and looking at other states to retire in. Most other states have their beauty too but they do come with other cons that California does not have. If I leave, I better be prepared not to return as once you leave, you likely can’t afford to return. A neighbor of mine moved to beautiful Hawaii and put his California home in the market. It never sold so he rented it. He came back two years later to California complaining that Hawaii has its problems. Good thing he never sold his California home. There was a reason for this.

Hardly anything gets fixed properly, just one band aid after another is slapped on to cover up almost every single screw up there is. 58 years or not, you have to had seen this in one point or another living there for so long. Granted, I don't live there, I live in a neighboring state, but I've visited there enough to know what's going on. It's so sad to see such a place with enormous potential treated in such a disgraceful manner. The majority of californians are treated horribly. Whether it's taxes, prices on anything, unruly laws, and just in general a poor manner. You must have seen this in one time or another.

The smog in LA is actually better than it was back in the 1950’s. Back then, there were days when you couldn’t see further than a block and it hurt to breathe. Much better than it was, but I have never regretted leaving Los Angeles for the central coast of California. One of the biggest problems in California is that major home insurers are leaving the state. Those who still have homeowners insurance have seen their premiums triple or quadruple.

I grew up in the SF Bay Area. It was a much different place back in the 60's and 70's. Almost all of the problems mentioned in this video, came about due to the great invasion of rich elitists, that began in the 80's. They brought their bad politics and bad attitudes, with the intent of turning the state into a Playground for the Rich! They used their money as a weapon, and they vilified anyone who did not go along with their agenda. I miss my old home. But, it is the home that was there 50+ years ago---not the mess that is there now.

I'm 51. Born in raised in California. When I retire, I plan to sell and move...even if I have to sneak into that state. I mean, who needs friends who are going to judge you simply because of the place you were birthed. It's not because I hate being here either. I have been through a lot of earthquakes...twice while sitting on the toilet, but earthquakes are nothing compared to tornados, hurricanes, and floods. So using that as an excuse is just dumb. There are some aspects of living here that make California suck if your middle class status isn't making over $100k a year. For me, it's the high taxes, utilities, and insurance. My homeowners and car insurance policies were both ridiculously raised last year for no other reason than me existing here. Perfect driving record, 5 year old low milage vehicle that's garaged at night, and my home is nowhere near any fire zones. So, unfortunately for me, in order to comfortably afford retirement, I'll have to look for a state that's not as expensive. Yet according to someone in the comments, state workers make a lot of money. No, Sir. Only certain state government entities and their enept management make a lot of money. Yes, we do have pensions, as do city, county, and federal government employees in any state in the US. A big deduction comes right out of my check monthly to fund said pension.

The air pollution in LA is no joke. The first time I saw how bad it was in person was during 2000 when I was stationed in Camp Pendleton. My unit was returning from deployment. We were on the Boxer. From the distance the ship was at out on sea, I could see the smoky hue floating around downtown LA as we passed it going toward San Onofre Beach.

Great place to visit, a lot to do. Unfortunately those who reside in California can’t afford to do those things, due to cost of living we endure day in day out. As a British American, lived here for 25 years in various states, I do regret moving here and look forward to leaving. After 2 years living here I purchased a gun, something that I never felt I needed living in the Midwest.

I wish my PG&E bill kWh rate was what you said. It's .49 during most of the day but right when you get home from work and want to cook, cool down the house with a fan or in winter, heat it, the rate goes up to .52 per kWh.

Hi 70 year old 5th gen Ca .person All utilities charge more at night. Several of us investigating this the last "Main line" power plant was built about 30 yrs. ago. So the Ca. system operators have to buy it somewhere. Thanks to 2 Govenor's. Wilson and Davis. The operators have a website called todays outlook. I was amazed how much we buy out of state. I started looking in to it when I noticed all my power did not come from PG&E.

True, but the main issues are drug addiction/alcoholism. and the rising crime often due to addicted people trying desperately/criminally to get their drug money, but other states have those same issues such as Philadelphia, PA to name one other state with big drug addiction problems. The city administrators and CA Governor need to get those addicted people into recovery or house them in camps somewhere away from cities, if they refuse rehabilitation/turning their life around

We get plenty of rain here in California but the state and counties don't do much to capture it. Around 85% of the rain water ends up in the ocean. They need to start doing more to capture and store rain water.

Every issue in Brigg's video here is true and correct. My Wife and I are both native californians born in the san fernando valley in the late 50s. We both grew up in Granada Hills, ca. It used to be paradice almost up to the turn of the century in 2000 and at that point the downfall started. Today if you travel through Granada Hills which is 25 miles north of Los Angeles it is now hard to see much difference, homeless tents everywhere. We moved to Northern California in 2011 and now can no longer afford to continue to live here do to the high cost of living. So here we go again all the way out of california up into the beautiful Oregon Coast. Adiós california.

@user-sn1nz1pt1r Месяц назад

Third gen SoCal here, moved away 25 y.o. The air quality in LA is much improved from 50 y.o. Some locales have snow days, in the 1960's LA schools would have smog days where schools were closed. All this changed with the adoption of car exhaust regulations (catalytic converters) and moving away from lead gasoline. CA regulatory laws tend to be adopted by other states and eventually at the federal level. Though regulation can create problems and headaches, a lot of time it really does help solve them. I am proud of CA for many reasons and this is one of them. Homelessness is due to the incomparable weather, and partially the chill vibe.

@jumperstartful Месяц назад

I was born there and in the 50's every house had an incinerator in the back yard. This caused a lot of pollution. They finally outlawed them and started trash pick up. Then the freeways were built and they created a new pollution. I moved from Orange County in 79 to the mountains.

@bryanwhitton1784 Месяц назад

Yep! When I was in school 50 years ago in Santa Clara County you counted the days when you could see the hills around the valley. Now you count the days that you can't. The air quality has improved up here as well.

You surprisingly didn’t mention the air quality of Fresno. That place is the Beijing of California. All the pollution from the central coast (San Fran metro area) rolls into the Central Valley and stacks up against the Sierra Nevadas and can’t escape. It requires a strong weather system passage to move the smog out of the area.
