The Nature of Santa Cruz

11/23/2007
I was born in Santa Cruz California at Dominican Hospital. I have lived there for 28 years. The town is a cesspool of bums, slums, unemployed liberals and college students that spend more time clogging up the sidewalks with their stupid signs complaining about anything and everything. The sidewalks are used as bathrooms by the homeless and If you have a Anti-abortion bumper sticker or a pro-conservative bumper sticker or a Hummer SUV expect your car to be trashed and vandalized. The "No blood for Oil" crowd spray painted that very quote on my neighbors new Hummer and slashed his tires. I have been attacked in my car for my Pro Bush bumper sticker. The basic "Culture" all these people say they like are freaks with tattoos and piercing from head to toe. Their faces are full of metal with mohawks and no jobs. Heavy drug use and loitering by these people. Very aggressive panhandling by the bums, sometimes accompanied with threats if demands are not met. You cannot leave a restaurant without a bum demanding your leftovers. Woman have been raped in BROAD DAYLIGHT in the city owned parking garages and other places. a few years back a brazilian man refused to give money and got his head blown off by a double barrel shotgun. You get intimidated at the voting booth by local Liberals "Reminding you" to vote for the local socialist candidate. So, some say the culture is a reason to live there. I have to laugh, there is no culture there, just a bunch of liberals and losers running around doing whatever they want whenever they want is not called "Culture" I can go on and on but I think you get the picture. This is not worth having both husband and wife working 50 hours a week so you can live in this sludge. If you want to have a 1 parent income so the other can stay home with the children, california is NOT the state for you. Plus, If you are a stay at home mom and/or dad, DO NOT expect to have a warm welcome. Stay at home moms, once word gets out, are harassed by the local feminists.
This future of America, these liberals would rather have a mom and pop shop employ 1-3 workers for minimum wage and no health benefits than allow a Costco to employ 250 people for 12-14 an hour WITH benefits just because it is a large company. these people are like broken records when it comes to what they want. Big business is the only people that offer big pay and they are driven out of town by the local liberals, probably because the local liberals lack the college degree required to fill these positions. The local college liberals take to the streets demanding higher minimum wage all the time and when they get it everything else goes up so their few cents an hour more is irrelevant, however it seems to make them happy (until they realize it had not accomplished anything) then back to the streets. Finally, the weather climate is unmatched and the ocean is beautiful but not worth the struggle to make ends meet. I recently moved to Kennewick, Washington, got a business loan a few days later and I am opened for business making double what I was making on salary. This is NOT something I could have done in Santa Cruz California. I tried already for over two years and gave up on the bureaucratic NIGHTMARE Santa Cruz gleefully offers to ensure people not even try to get ahead and stay broke and depending on welfare, food stamps and other government programs. The City elected officials call these programs, GREP (Guarantee Re-Election Programs)
