You come for cheap housing and cry 'no culture'!

Take a hike if you don't like different points of view, religious or generally conservative people. No one will miss you. California has been going in the wrong direction for a long time, from my point of view and Redding suffers like many small communities. Some move here thinking you can save a buck on housing but want all the services they can only find in the upscale high priced areas they cannot afford. You can blame Amazon, Walmart and the other big box stores for there being a lack of mom and pops. There a many fine shops in Redding and people remember your face. You don't get that in Palo Alto, Cupertino, Atherton etc... where you can find your fine wine, vinegar, art shops etc... There are some science deniers in Redding but it seems the real science deniers are in the CDC these days who say vaccines are better than natural immunity. What? Since when? If you believe them you're a fool. Government has definitely been letting us down lately and people in Redding are not afraid to say it.
I know many Bethel students and congregants. They are fine, law abiding people who pay their rent on time and are good hardworking citizens who put their families first. That is what makes the foundation of a good community.
This is Trump country thank no doubt but not even 80%. No politician is perfect but he's hands down superior to uncle Joe and the cons to put him in the oval office. I don't fault the voters because, the truth is, Trump won in a landslide.
Redding suffers from the California exodus that affects small businesses and manufacturers state wide. The beautiful surroundings cannot make up for that. We need a state government that is focused on keeping businesses, lowering costs and regulation and working to solve the many problems that all communities are facing statewide.
Of course I am being blunt not because I'm in insensitive fellow. I think Redding has many great qualities that far too many reviewers here fail to see or comment on. They're missing a lot of the good things that people love about the town.
