California is a great state. What stopped me from giving it 5 stars is the crime, homelessness, high cost of living, traffic, drought, and wildfires. Still a pretty good state overall. It has great weather, beautiful beaches, good schools, nice restaurants, motels/hotels, movie theatres, and theme Read More

Best place on earth. - 6/28/2021
Born and raised here - been all around the country and world but California is unrivaled for beauty , diversity, food, landscapes, vibrant industries and agriculture and an innovative spirit that is found no where else...(Except maybe Australia)

We're a country more than a state though. Most people only ever see a small slice of California.

Don’t Come Here Ever - 5/16/2021
The extreme criminality of people here are smugly dismissive, unempathetic, rude, the cost of living is outright usury and the police and court system do absolutely nothing when alerted to issues. The most degenerate criminally behaved people live here. Read More

California the Pyrite State - 12/7/2017
The State of California has been historically the "Golden State" in recent history would be best described as the "Pyrite" state. We are the "Sactuary" state. Let's see 4 time deportee gets acquited of suspension of 1st degree murder, physco kept on death row for 40+ years of free health care. State is on fire, yet, we can't afford to buy planes because there no business infrastructure left because It's in Texas, thanks CA Governing body, glad your looking out for your constituents in Texas, not CA. I don't speak as a just showed up resident but a 4th generation Californian. It's time that the "Representatives" representing the people get audited as to their real loyalty, irrespective of the one to monitary gratification, from county representatives to congressional representatives that died and no one's told them yet. Glad your multi-million milliionares, bravo!
No one will ever read this, it will be suppressed as the truth in general, but at least I've had my non-represented, Read More

All hope abandon, ye who enter here. - 9/9/2017
After living in California for nearly 40 years, we finally gave up on trying to adapt to the "progressively" worsening conditions. Which? Ever increasing taxes and bonded indebtedness by the left-wing state government; adding more benefits & services for illegals (oops, I mean undocumented immigrants). Governor (Moonbeam) Jerry Brown is still stuck in the 1970's, knowing only how to increase taxes and the size of government. Air pollution, urban sprawl and gang violence are all out of control. We said, "Enough!" and relocated to Idaho, and have never had any cause to regret our decision. Idaho has a much smaller, less intrusive state government, along with with modest, reasonable taxes. And the violent crime rate is miniscule compared to CA. People still leave their cars unlocked at the local shopping mall. I'm almost afraid to post this review, on the chance that it might bring more disgruntled/liberal Californians up here to Idaho, and ruin a wonderful place to Read More
