Not true every thing Know is based in facts it is conservatives that reject science and reality preferring evidently fantasy over facts. I have spent the last 24 years of my life in retirement studying intensely history and politics among several other topics and my wife has loved me for over 65 years and I her

I have never seen any defecation in any of our streets not even a dog turd we have leash laws and the citizens who walk their dogs are god about carrying doggie bags and cleaning up behind their dogs. Californians are proud of our beautiful state and are very conscious about preserving the environment

You disregard the homeless defecating in the streets, the heroin epidemic, sex trafficking, highest poverty rate of all the state's, ghettos where the living conditions are dangerous to even innocent bystanders...we both know that I could go on and on, but you don't see this from your neighborhood, "so all's well"

Michael Rich Loc: Lapine Oregon

Are you so dishonest that you won't admit what is internationally known? You people are paying for the human bullbiden to be cleaned up in S.F.

You say that you are the mostest and bestest informed person that you can even think of.

You can find that kind stuff in any big US city. and the highest rate drug deaths are in west Virginia. California is not immune from globalization and loss of union jobs. The big real estate developers wiped out the residential construction unions in the 1980's When I was forced to with draw from the unions It was 1984 and I was paying my union employees $20 per plus $7.50 in benefits into a trust fund. Today 34 years later those workers are being paid $26.50 per hr with no benefits poverty level in the bay area is $60,000 per yr for a family of four. We are not perfect we have a capitalist economic system too with all of its ills

I wasn't looking for purity sermon, just admit that California has some major problems, without trying to hide behind a different state.

Well I have heard tell of homeless people using the streets for a toilet all I'm saying is I have never personally seen it, Of course I don't live in the city. My wife and I attended a play one year and we had to pass through the Tenderloin (skidrow) and it smelled of alcohol, urine and vomit. The play was excellent.

Of course but no worse than Baltimore, Cleveland, Pittsburg. And San Francisco bay area has been leading the nation in job creation and economic growth for the last 10 years Countries from foreign countries have opened a headquarters in the city or in the area to be close to the action. There is nearly 8 million people living in the bay area and the vast majority are prosperous The biggest problem The area is becoming gentrified you have to be wealthy to afford to live here. California is a huge state with a lot rural areas with lots of conservatives but the cities are liberal and prosperous the valley's rich in agriculture. The bay area alone is home to 72 billionaires. Southern Calif is the home of the wealthiest real estate developer in the nation. $16.3 billion and he made every penny on his own a self made man. He graduated from college with a degree in business administration and economics. He bought a lot in Newport Beach barrowed $10,000 from a bank and built his first house in 1958. By 1970 he had built the city of Mission Viejo and today he is still going at 86 he is sole owner of the Irvine Company a 146 year old real estate investment and development company who owns 22 million feet of real estate. Hotels, office buildings, airports, shopping malls,

Can you explain the joy of finding human excrement on the streets of San Francisco?

I have spent the last 20 years of retirement refuting the bull crap the socialists in this country try to jam down the throats of the American public. Ever since the inventor of the internet, Al Gore, got thoroughly beaten by G W Bush I realized what you people are trying to do to bring the downfall of America and then especially when the Kenyan halfbreed got in I thought it was a lost cause. Then, Trump came along and started to turn this country back into a well respected republic. There is light at the end of the tunnel again, if we could only brush aside the democratic socialist roadblocks. A long way to go, but we are going to get there.

I don't know, I've never seen any human excrement in the street

I keep reading your self praise of what a great scholar you are. I learned a very long time ago that anyone can read and go to college, but not every one who does benefits himself or his country by doing so. Cases in point. Most places of higher learning are overrun by far out socialist libtards and the far left teaching they do is ruining the real ideals that this country was built. You are an example of wasted study.

Bcon

They have become so used to this that it is a way of life and they are used to it, so it doesn’t affect them.

I haven't heard of a heroin epidemic in California. Heroin has always been around But I haven't heard of any epidemic. About 70,000 people all over the country have been dying from opioids a prescription drug We hear that on the news but no heroin epidemic. That's just fear mongering by Trump and MS-13 originated in Los Angeles not Latin America
