Lived in California all my life and can’t take it anymore moving soon and can’t wait!
First, cost of living is high, California is one of the highest taxed states in the nation. You are taxed and taxed to death. Good luck getting a good job because the cost of living is so high mist good companies are leaving to Texas.. the good jobs are leaving in droves here. An average apt in a nice area 1 (bd) is about $1,600+ . Most of my college friends who have degrees live at home because they cannot afford to live on their own, or they have 2 or 3 roommates. If you want to buy a house forget it. So expensive that most people drive to Riverside county and have a 2-3 hr commute.
Traffic is horrible and I mean horrible takes about 1hr to get anywhere. You cannot park anywhere in the city without a worried of getting a parking ticket or being towed.
Crime is about the same in all large cities but you here you also have to worry about the cops. The LAPD is one of the worst corrupt police agencies in the country. I’m actually more afraid of the LAPD than the criminals. And in Orange County, Sheriff Mike Corona was arrested and sent to prison for corruption . Just Goggle his name and read the story not even Orange County is crime free.
Most people here live pay-check to pay-check live at home until in their 30’s because the cannot survie. The people that seem to have money are only 1 paycheck away from the street and in debt so much.
California only has the weather that is it !
