No quality of life, over crowded, and over priced

I have been here 10 years too long. Came here with a job, and with the dot com, banking, and now housing bubbles, it wears you down even more. Any home or apartment is extremely over-priced. All over is dirty, gang/crime problems, public schools are lowest. More people from other countries than from America - that barely speak English. LOTS of transients trying to make it in showbiz. It is like being in a Mad Max movie-everyone is out for themselves! Unless you have alot of money or have a job "waiting" for you it isnt worth your life. It probably was great 45 years ago.
