Default California sucks

We have the highest taxes in the country, both income and sales, yet the state is broke and we have some of the worst schools. The roads are terrible, it's overcrowded, the cost of a house is enough to by a small country, and unemployment is over 10%.

Then, you step out to your car and it's 75 degrees out, you drive over the hill and see this:

And you remember why you love it here.

You think Cali sucks... wait until you see New Jersey... property tax is higher than Cali, car insurance is the most expensive in the country, population density is among one of the highest, weather sucks too... hot in the summer and cold in the winter and road condition is one of the worst; pot holes everywhere...

Pending my job promotion in Los Angeles I will say that I still like Cali.

If I do not get the job and I am stuck here in the shitty middle of the state I will go back to my current view that CA is the biggest piece of **** state in the world!

The cops are ******, like what was pointed out before everything is wayy over priced and yet the government still blows, the traffic laws are ridiculous and should be applied regionally or city wide as opposed to state wide. And the weather(where I live) ******* SUUUUCKS!!!

I will gladly exchange where I am at now for LA traffic, weird *** ppl, and higher crime knowing that I would be financially secure, driving a much better car, and doing a job that will open up incredible opportunities in the Hollywood community.


BLAAAAH ****

Preach on brother. It's like that here in NY also. Only difference is that in NY, you'd be taxed to see a view like that in the OP's pictures.

And the -30 degree temps in winter don't help either.
