I spent one of the best summers of my childhood in Studio City and La Brea. Summer of 1990. Sad what has happened to a state with so much natural beauty and abundance of resources.
I lived there from 2013 to 2015. Ventura, CA. It was a pretty awesome place to live but I remember it being very expensive even back then. Lots of homeless and petty crime. Plenty of serious crime too, but it was a beautiful and interesting place I doubt it got better since I left.
Our senators in California are laphonsa butler and alex padilla. Kamala used to be D.A of san Francisco and ruined that city she was also a terrible attorney general for CA.
There's a fascinating map of the East Bay voting precincts from this last election showing the recall of the far left DA Pamela Price. The safe wealthy areas of Berkeley voted to retain the DA while almost every other place, including East Oakland where crime is out of control, voted to recall her.
Grew up in SF and left in 2016. It was obviously in decline as early as 2012-2013. The extent of the decline is mind boggling, but nothing compared to the cope denial of the locals who vote for the horrible policies so they can feel righteous, only to ignore the results in front of their faces and do it again and again.
The thing about California is that people that are doing well can be snobbish and oblivious/condescending to people and what's going on in other states. Like my sister who has been there since 2013, I can't criticize anything about the state at all. She would get stirred up and defensive. I'm sure California has a lot of good programs to help people like working towards a new career while being unemployed and health care and stuff. But there are problems that should have to happen from them being too woke or righteous as well.
@@bobbadham261 They think it's okay because the only other option is Trump is Hitler. They don't even have to vote for Republicans, but just vote for Democrats who do not allow this crap.

I grew up in Whittier, just down the road from Downey, during the mid-50s to late-60s. The last time I there was in 2001 for my dad's funeral. Very little of the area was recognizable, 20 years later I can barely imagine the changes.
I didn't like her at first because she was laughing about the problem. I am in Kelowna, BC Canada and the government has been giving my son pharmaceutical heroin and needles since he was 16. My son.

Bro, the YT bot suggested your channel and I love it!! As a Canadian POC, I just look in horrified fascination at peculiar and quintessential phenomena in the US that exist nowhere else in the world. I have cousins in California (we're Chinese although all of us were born in North America). Some of my relatives decamped from Oakland to LA 20 years ago, well before it descended to the hell it is now. Oakland was (is) home to a decades-old Chinatown and Chinese community, which feature in Amy Tan's amazing novel The Joy Luck Club. (Please give it a read, if you haven't already.) Parts of LA have been going down the same, dark staircase into hell. One cousin has left the US altogether and has actually renounced his US citizenship and travels under a different passport (because Americans get taxed on worldwide income). Of course, the dominant-class, privileged, out-of-touch 1%-ers who live in gated communities, be they tech or Hollywood elites, live in a complete bubble and see none of this.
Vancouver is pretty bad, lot's of horrified fascination there and it's been that way for a long time, maybe longer than SF. Cali could see in real time what would happen if they went down this road by just spending a day in Vancouver but they did it anyway.
@@jelkel25 The thing is the residents there pretend it exists or pretend it's normal. I took a road trip along the West coast from Vancouver, CA to LA. I couldn't believe some of the sights were like third world.
@@safeandeffectivelol Yeah, some folks have what the British used to call a slum tourism thing going on, other people's desperation and misery is their entertainment but some people are just stuck there and have to pretend it's normal.

One of my best friends from college has lived in San Francisco for 25 years. Just moved 45 minutes out because of recurrent dead homeless in front of his duplex that his 15 year old daughter became so immune that she steps over them as if it was completely normal
I moved to Cali 40 years ago. We had Republican Governors when I first got here. I live 50 miles inland of LA. It’s normal where I live. My litmus test to leave is when everything is locked up in the CVS. It’s up to moderate Democrats to vote differently. They are starting to, but we shall see.
Well, same here in NY. Although we at least have some sane people, it is basically a blue state after all. Libraries now have gender free restroom, school education gone rotten, a meal at McDonald's in $20, young women manipulated by feminism, young men gave up on dating, and so on and on.. It really is miserable. I got an email message from my sons' elementary school which was basically a consent letter for genderism class. I proudly in appalling manner denied it. I mean to actually feel all the BS up my flesh in person, I now have ultimately decided to raise my children to build skillsets to jump into industries right after high school and start piling up experiences and earn money. Going to college is the worst thing you can do in this day and age. Spend 75k only to be brainwashed? No way. Nof'king way.

I just visited San Francisco for the first time and a window washer dropped a coil of braided, metal cable on my head from many stories above. I was seriously injured, bleeding profusely, and losing conciousness; begging for help, and the other maintenance guy that was at the bottom, who saw me get hurt, told me to leave him alone and to call 911 if I really was that hurt. Blood was pouring from my head, down my face, and on to the concrete. So, I had to call 911, eventually laid down as I was losing conciousness, as many, many people walked right by me, and finally, ONE man stopped to help me. He grabbed the phone and took the 911 call from there, and stayed with me, holding my hand until the paramedics got there. This was two days ago. This was at 2nd and Mission street, downtown.
few years ago a guy in NYC was stabbed and died and people walked over him. Not one stopped to help. It's a problem in ALL left controlled areas. Sorta shows who their master is since they clearly do not respect the sanctity of life.
@BLæCK-88 I walked by the site, outside of the yellow tape. Instead of him dropping the coiled up cable straight down, he tossed it, and it landed outside of the taped off area, on my head.
This is when you find out that the workers are all illegal immigrants, the window washing company doesn't exist, and the business claims to have no contract for window washing services.
The CVS in downtown Los Angeles on 7th street & South Broadway Street looks like a prison infirmary in a maximum security prison. I told the clerk that I'm never going back to that store...

There was a problem in New York City in the late 90s that was fixed easily by the mayor, Rudy Giuliani at the time. He offered homeless people a place to stay, and then told them for health reasons, the sanitation department would come out every night and spray down the sidewalks. Oddly, overnight camping disappeared 😎 Fixing the problem in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, etc is easy. The real problem is lack of political will.
Consider this: Now that you've " discovered " that California has become unlivable, don't bring that crap with you when you relocate. With few exceptions, you were part of what caused California to become what it is, leave that nonsense there.
I live in Los Angeles and it’s terrible downtown. It’s was worse a year or two ago but still not pleasant, especially at night. It feels a bit like Mad Max or what you’d imagine stereotypical third world city to be like.
@GUITARTIME2024 there a lot of different factors that can keep a person stuck where they're at. For instance we HATE where we live right now but houses have almost doubled in prices since we've been looking. Also, licensed for this area to work, etc.... so i don't judge anymore. Maybe make the cities live-able again instead of telling long time citizens to move. Ever think of that?
@nihilismistheonlyway4680 move to another state. Stop feeding the Woke Westcoast beast. Plenty of states have reciprocation agreements in licensing, etc. Here in Raleigh-Cary, NC it's booming and we get West Coasters and Northeasters all the time. Our neighbor is a Cali refugee. Lol. Sunny most days, barely snows, lots of jobs. Cali supermajority will never allow real change.
Crazy what they have done to CA, i left in 2011 and never went back and dont care to ever go back, i hope Trumps win this time around brings about huge change, they have no right to destroy that state, they didnt build it.
It was and experiment by the left who has infiltrated the Democratic party. Their goal is to turn CA into a dystopia so that they can create a narrative that any capitalist influence will lead to poverty and disfunction. This agenda is to brainwash the people to think America is evil and that will lead them to a Bolshevik style revolution in CA and rest of the US
Because I'm a gamer. I played the GTA series a long time ago. I really wanted to visit these cities at first. But when I noticed that California's problem was more than just drugs, well, it's dangerous there, and obviously I shouldn't take it as a tourist destination for my own protection. California actually just had a drug problem at the beginning. But I need to point out that heroin is a high-purity synthetic drug, which is very expensive, but usually those street drug users, the drug they touch the most is marijuana. Later, the list of drugs was gradually increased. Later, there was also drugs like fentanyl. Later, California law legalized theft and robbery, which led to criminal activities becoming daily. This is not a good thing. In recent years, I have been attacked because I pointed out that the problem in these areas is their leaders, and these things happen every day. Then I was attacked personally. There are still manipulators here, from what I have observed so far. At least the vested interests don't want to change this result. In the past four years, the most ridiculous remarks I have heard are two, one is emphasizing the safety of AIDS, and the other is emphasizing that marijuana is not a drug. This is really ridiculous.
They can't connect the dots because they've been told it's someone else's fault by the perpetrators themselves. Either that or it's the ultimate denial.
25 years ago, I came out of the mountains from camping, truck, canoes, all my camping stuff, firearm. Pull into the city, lock the doors on the truck and went walking all over that city, was gone or hours, got back to the truck, and everything was fine. would I do that today, na baba na.
The San Francisco 49ers drafted a wide receiver. That wide receiver made the mistake of going into downtown San Francisco. He was immediately robbed and shot. Zuby, you're lucky to be alive
I spent a week in the Bay Area this summer. The shantytowns spreading from Oakland's cracks and anchored across the Bay Bridge in the Tenderloin are terrifying. Oakland's violence and San Francisco's ambivalence toward these mentally ill and drug-addled individuals are untenable. I’ve been to impoverished countries and walked through the world’s largest slums, yet every time, I felt decidedly safer. To be clear, I currently live in San Bernardino and often drive along Old Route 66-a place I once thought was among the worst. However, Newsom and Harris' former stomping grounds take the cake. This shameful tragedy must be addressed. It’s time to clean this up.
Funny you mention the TQ flags! 30 years ago, the father of my little sons, my husband, suddenly decided he's "female." He deeply wanted to live in San Francisco. I would imagine the "tourism' phrase you were looking for is probably "exploitation tourism."
The other thing about California is outrageous legislation, such as SB145. Look it up, men as old as 23 and boys as young as 14. That particular bill was written by a state senator from San Francisco.
I saw a woman in Oakland, she followed me into a grocery store bathroom. She was literally sticking needles into her eyes, so disturbing. She was obviously very high and it was very dystopian there. It was very dystopian 10 years ago and I can only imagine where it's at now.
I'm glad I was able to see San Francisco before it went to shit. The last time I was there was in 2012 and even though it wasn't exactly nice, but at least it wasn't as crazy as it is now.
There’s lots of little things that add up, to where you’d leave if you could. People aren’t saying to themselves “oh but I don’t want to leave California” in any way.
The differences between big eastern and western cities, in the eastern cities you will find the safest places to walk around, in western cities are the other way around.
I went there for the first time this Feb, and I said there was no way in hell I would live there. Too expensive and I felt like I was in a GTA lobby like he said.
My only knowledge of San Francisco is from Full House and Monk so I assumed it had problems but was generally a nice area. Joe Montana would never allow his city to fall so horribly
I haven't been to the Bay area in almost 10 years, it was an absolute sh*thole then, it was terrifying actually, probably one of the scariest places that I've traveled through in the US. I can only imagine how much worse it's gotten in the last 10 years.
I live in a very liberal state (Mass) and I'm fed up with the place. I'm just selling my stuff and saving up so I can leave that hellhole. Our governor is basically is just copying governor Newsom and running the place into the ground and taxing us all like crazy on just dumb stuff its nuts.
I don't think it's apathy. It's the active promotion of delusional behavior. We used to be told it was bad to reinforce, or enable these behaviors. You weren't to discount the person having the hallucinations or delusions but you let them know you weren't seeing the same thing. Now it's promoted & profited on.
Present day San Francisco is an example of extreme liberalism taken to it's natural conclusion. The 'Do your own thing' mantra of the 1960s has got us here today. No consequence to oneself or one's neighbour for one's actions. Bring back a bit of conservativism.
The government has changed how it counts unemployment in order to avoid blame for the results of its policies. Comparing unemployment figures from today to unemployment figures from the past leads to the misapprehension that the economy is not as bad as it actually is for the average American. Likewise, there is a _lot_ of cherry-picking of specific prices for specific goods and services in order to make inflation look like it's lower than it actually is (as well as outright lying) and for the same reason: obfuscating the results of laws and government policies. I personally feel certain that under _ancien régime_ standards we would be judged as in a depression. For some number of years, now, if not over a decade.
So, what are the solutions to this mess? I have my own somewhat radical idea that resembles The Road Warrior’s Barter Town in the Mojave Desert. We don’t have Devil’s Island like in Papillon.
the westcoast of canada if there’s a large enough population to have government services offices, theres a homeless addicted population. sad to make that correlation, but its true.
People say it’s fine and dismiss all the craziness because they don’t want to acknowledge where they live is a cesspool. Everyone that lives outside of SF and Oakland all know it’s a dump. SF is a democracy without a republic. Most of Californian is that way
In order for change to occur, things have to get so bad that people actually vote for change. Life is a pendulum, it swings from one extreme to another…
I disagree. You’re describing the worst parts of SF. Philly has the same but it’s concentrated in Kensington. The rest of the city (Philly and SF) are much nicer. And SF is hyper expensive for a reason, cuz it’s awesome
You're just now fleeing? I left on day 16 of 15 days to slow the spread. I don't miss it and when friends come visit my new house and wonder what are theyre still doing in cali... There's weed and women everywhere so what's the excuse?

I live in Los Angeles and it’s terrible downtown. It’s was worse a year or two ago but still not pleasant, especially at night. It feels a bit like Mad Max or what you’d imagine stereotypical third world city to be like.
Why live there. LA is huge.
@GUITARTIME2024 there a lot of different factors that can keep a person stuck where they're at. For instance we HATE where we live right now but houses have almost doubled in prices since we've been looking. Also, licensed for this area to work, etc.... so i don't judge anymore. Maybe make the cities live-able again instead of telling long time citizens to move. Ever think of that?
@nihilismistheonlyway4680 move to another state. Stop feeding the Woke Westcoast beast. Plenty of states have reciprocation agreements in licensing, etc. Here in Raleigh-Cary, NC it's booming and we get West Coasters and Northeasters all the time. Our neighbor is a Cali refugee. Lol. Sunny most days, barely snows, lots of jobs. Cali supermajority will never allow real change.
Crazy what they have done to CA, i left in 2011 and never went back and dont care to ever go back, i hope Trumps win this time around brings about huge change, they have no right to destroy that state, they didnt build it.
It was and experiment by the left who has infiltrated the Democratic party. Their goal is to turn CA into a dystopia so that they can create a narrative that any capitalist influence will lead to poverty and disfunction. This agenda is to brainwash the people to think America is evil and that will lead them to a Bolshevik style revolution in CA and rest of the US
Because I'm a gamer. I played the GTA series a long time ago. I really wanted to visit these cities at first. But when I noticed that California's problem was more than just drugs, well, it's dangerous there, and obviously I shouldn't take it as a tourist destination for my own protection. California actually just had a drug problem at the beginning. But I need to point out that heroin is a high-purity synthetic drug, which is very expensive, but usually those street drug users, the drug they touch the most is marijuana. Later, the list of drugs was gradually increased. Later, there was also drugs like fentanyl. Later, California law legalized theft and robbery, which led to criminal activities becoming daily. This is not a good thing. In recent years, I have been attacked because I pointed out that the problem in these areas is their leaders, and these things happen every day. Then I was attacked personally. There are still manipulators here, from what I have observed so far. At least the vested interests don't want to change this result. In the past four years, the most ridiculous remarks I have heard are two, one is emphasizing the safety of AIDS, and the other is emphasizing that marijuana is not a drug. This is really ridiculous.
They can't connect the dots because they've been told it's someone else's fault by the perpetrators themselves. Either that or it's the ultimate denial.
25 years ago, I came out of the mountains from camping, truck, canoes, all my camping stuff, firearm. Pull into the city, lock the doors on the truck and went walking all over that city, was gone or hours, got back to the truck, and everything was fine. would I do that today, na baba na.
I mean, a parking garage would be ok. A monitired one.
The San Francisco 49ers drafted a wide receiver. That wide receiver made the mistake of going into downtown San Francisco. He was immediately robbed and shot. Zuby, you're lucky to be alive
I spent a week in the Bay Area this summer. The shantytowns spreading from Oakland's cracks and anchored across the Bay Bridge in the Tenderloin are terrifying. Oakland's violence and San Francisco's ambivalence toward these mentally ill and drug-addled individuals are untenable.
I’ve been to impoverished countries and walked through the world’s largest slums, yet every time, I felt decidedly safer. To be clear, I currently live in San Bernardino and often drive along Old Route 66-a place I once thought was among the worst. However, Newsom and Harris' former stomping grounds take the cake.
This shameful tragedy must be addressed. It’s time to clean this up.
Funny you mention the TQ flags! 30 years ago, the father of my little sons, my husband, suddenly decided he's "female." He deeply wanted to live in San Francisco.
I would imagine the "tourism' phrase you were looking for is probably "exploitation tourism."
The answer to this question in obvious ----> This woman is NOT stupid. Next question please...
Very clever talk guys!
Poor nations cannot afford to have open drug use. Society would collapse. We are very priveleged and doomed to continue in this direction.
The other thing about California is outrageous legislation, such as SB145. Look it up, men as old as 23 and boys as young as 14. That particular bill was written by a state senator from San Francisco.
How is CA voting by county? Why is the Northern areas so stark different than the Southern areas?
Its easy to live inside a safe space bubble in many areas.
Above san francisco it gets working class. A lot of descendants of Appalchian people (loggers, miners)
Aside from the coast it's solid red.
@kkcombs622 but the coast has the main population
@@GUITARTIME2024 did not realize that, but makes sense.
I saw a woman in Oakland, she followed me into a grocery store bathroom. She was literally sticking needles into her eyes, so disturbing. She was obviously very high and it was very dystopian there. It was very dystopian 10 years ago and I can only imagine where it's at now.
I visited the summer of 1995 and San Francisco was safe and gorgeous. Levi's and chowder everywhere :)
I got the heck out of CA a year and a half ago. Took a $15k pay cut. Living better in AZ than I did back in CA.
I'm glad I was able to see San Francisco before it went to shit. The last time I was there was in 2012 and even though it wasn't exactly nice, but at least it wasn't as crazy as it is now.
There’s lots of little things that add up, to where you’d leave if you could. People aren’t saying to themselves “oh but I don’t want to leave California” in any way.
I don’t think Zuby appreciates that subtle San Fran charm!😂🤣😉
The term you're looking for is "poverty safari".
A techie was charged in the stabbing of the Cash App founder. It was rumored to be random.
I call it the self cleaning oven effect...
Well stated!
Sounds like SF has turned into Arkham
Visited Seattle 2 years ago, similar experience
The differences between big eastern and western cities, in the eastern cities you will find the safest places to walk around, in western cities are the other way around.
The guy didn't offer one solution to the problem the whole interview, he says "I don't have a dog in the fight"
I went there for the first time this Feb, and I said there was no way in hell I would live there. Too expensive and I felt like I was in a GTA lobby like he said.
It’s odd I went to SF about 2010 and it was really nice…even the tenderloin wasn’t too bad.
My only knowledge of San Francisco is from Full House and Monk so I assumed it had problems but was generally a nice area. Joe Montana would never allow his city to fall so horribly
Its like that in Portland Oregon now. Open drug use everywhere. Narcan is passed out everywhere like candy. Its really really sad.
I remember the needle vending machines, but people say I'm crazy.
Exactly…..not poverty…..it’s politics
Compassion is the cause not the cure!
I lived in SF in 2008, and I didn't see any human feces or needles. It went downhill so quickly.
I haven't been to the Bay area in almost 10 years, it was an absolute sh*thole then, it was terrifying actually, probably one of the scariest places that I've traveled through in the US. I can only imagine how much worse it's gotten in the last 10 years.
I live in a very liberal state (Mass) and I'm fed up with the place. I'm just selling my stuff and saving up so I can leave that hellhole. Our governor is basically is just copying governor Newsom and running the place into the ground and taxing us all like crazy on just dumb stuff its nuts.
I don't think it's apathy. It's the active promotion of delusional behavior. We used to be told it was bad to reinforce, or enable these behaviors. You weren't to discount the person having the hallucinations or delusions but you let them know you weren't seeing the same thing. Now it's promoted & profited on.
The bluest state in the world for ya…
Present day San Francisco is an example of extreme liberalism taken to it's natural conclusion. The 'Do your own thing' mantra of the 1960s has got us here today. No consequence to oneself or one's neighbour for one's actions. Bring back a bit of conservativism.
Last time there i decided never again. Total sh#tshow. Dont know what people are thinking to live there
I’m a 7th generation Californian… My Home 😢 😢😢
The government has changed how it counts unemployment in order to avoid blame for the results of its policies. Comparing unemployment figures from today to unemployment figures from the past leads to the misapprehension that the economy is not as bad as it actually is for the average American. Likewise, there is a _lot_ of cherry-picking of specific prices for specific goods and services in order to make inflation look like it's lower than it actually is (as well as outright lying) and for the same reason: obfuscating the results of laws and government policies.
I personally feel certain that under _ancien régime_ standards we would be judged as in a depression. For some number of years, now, if not over a decade.
did she vote for what she is leaving from?
So, what are the solutions to this mess? I have my own somewhat radical idea that resembles The Road Warrior’s Barter Town in the Mojave Desert. We don’t have Devil’s Island like in Papillon.
People who don't want to be helped cannot be helped. All they want is to eek out an existence on someone else's dime.
Throwing feces is a monkey in the zoo level behavior.
The flags are everywhere bro I just don’t get it
you are stronger than a rainbow flag 🏳🌈..... I think
@@a-love-supremistThe rambow flag no one cares about.
the westcoast of canada if there’s a large enough population to have government services offices, theres a homeless addicted population. sad to make that correlation, but its true.
Everything you're describing sounds just like Minneapolis!
@7:20, the dude: WHAT??
People say it’s fine and dismiss all the craziness because they don’t want to acknowledge where they live is a cesspool. Everyone that lives outside of SF and Oakland all know it’s a dump. SF is a democracy without a republic. Most of Californian is that way
Thanks Gov Newsome!
I'm on board with everything the dude is saying how can he be a Brit with an American accent?
We are cleaning house & once again, this is the place where people will want to be.
When? Not until homeless encampment are gone. A new DA can only do so much.
@@GUITARTIME2024 It does not disappear overnight.
This was all done for the blacks. Say thank you.
People living in SF are so smug and think so highly of themselves as well. It’s weird
This dude loves talking about how viral he is. Ok dude you’re viral
In order for change to occur, things have to get so bad that people actually vote for change. Life is a pendulum, it swings from one extreme to another…
Was this suppose to be an interview?
7:20 DTLA 😩💀
Suicidal Compassion.
Lily!
I disagree. You’re describing the worst parts of SF. Philly has the same but it’s concentrated in Kensington. The rest of the city (Philly and SF) are much nicer. And SF is hyper expensive for a reason, cuz it’s awesome
Oh no. An apologist for homeless crazies. Lol. Keep voting blue, woke robot.
Same thing happening to London. We've imported the 3rd world and now it's looking like the 3rd world.
Blade Runner 2024
You're just now fleeing? I left on day 16 of 15 days to slow the spread. I don't miss it and when friends come visit my new house and wonder what are theyre still doing in cali...
There's weed and women everywhere so what's the excuse?
Sounds like sadom and gamora
Leave California and go somewhere else to vote Democrat.
Atlas Shrugged is any Democrat State/City
San Francisco is a pit .thak to liberal governor
Nah. It's the citizens fault. Leftists ruin everywhere they go
