CA is Over rated

-
1/2/2007
My husband, 3 kids and I moved to CA in 1997 after both of us separated from the military. Our hopes of making a good life here begin to quickly deplete everything we had. CA is highly over rated. It is so expensive, smoggy, filed with illegal aliens, and crime. While I would never say I am predjuce, not by any means, it is difficult to make it in a state who lets hispanics run, not walk over our borders and flood our streets and hospitals. Our healthcare skyrockets every few months, and you feel like you are living in Mexico because you can't go anywhere and get someone who doesn't speak English, so you have to figure out a way to order a burger. I don't like that. My kids are affected when half the time the teachers speak in Spanish, so they don't get the lesson. CA is dirty in most areas, and there is so much money here that the rich don't care about anyone but themselves. Neighbors keep to themselves, so there's no neighborly friendliness. We are very unhappy here.
