It is California
Get out of there. You are like the frog being slowly boiled. You don't realize how messed up that state is, because you can't see it from the outside. It is much different now than it was.
I have a fairly idea of how messed up the state, though I expect the clarity to expand 10-fold when I move to a red and opened state. Nevertheless, knowledge has been a limiting factor for leaving since I have never carried out such a deed. I am slowly learning now from others on what I need to do and how to do it.
I agree, it is so much worse, the blight is everywhere and within that blight are notices that remind the homeless that the state does not have the authority to remove their piles of trash/belongings. Of course, it is typical CA to put in the effort to ensure these encampments remain undisturbed than putting in effort to give people the tools needed to provide for themselves
