For some stupid reason which I can't figure out, people like to move to and live in California. As a Native here, this drives me batty since every year it gets worse and worse. Kinda like apartment rent. It only goes up, not down. A one bedroom in upland, next to the projects, runs 1100 dollars a month, with a 20 to 40 dollar increase annually.

So needless to say, IT'S CROWDED HERE. (How I wish all these out of state people would back where they came from.) Anywho, with all that people congestion comes traffic congestion. And with that congestion there are certain things you can count on.

1.) Mentality of drivers: "Me first" and "Not in front of me". Everyones stepping over some idiot trying to get to where they are going. The more people crowding up the place, the less patience people have.

2.) There is always traffic. And if there is no traffic, fear not, CalTrans will make some for you! Thus, there is always traffic.


Now throw Obama's visit in on top of that.

That article doesn't say so, but I've heard of people being stuck in traffic for THREE to FOUR HOURS because of Obama. I don't care who you are, you DO NOT shut down a freeway..... ANY freeway, in southern california during rush hour.

I remember when the Queen of England came to visit LA, there were signs by the road that read

Keep LA beautiful, take someone with you when you leave. :har:

Personally, I think LA is a great place to be from. I have no desire to ever go back.

I don't think California is that big a people magnet anymore.

A one way 10' U-haul truck rental from San Francisco to Dallas $1219.00
Same truck one way rental from Dallas to San Francisco $743.00

They must be filthy rich. You know a one day ticket costs like 80-90 bucks now i hear? I know they just raised their prices recently. I'll never go there again, its just too expensive.

It's not just L.A.

My 40 minute commute in San Diego yesterday....3 hours 8 minutes.

...for no particular reason.

The traffic report; "Yeah the 5 and the 8 are at a standstill. There's no accident, everyone left work at the same time."

That's why their broke and can't go back to Arkansaw or Oklahoma.

So they signup for welfare and stay here.

Christ, I hope people go to Oregon, and not Utah. Cause i'm going to Utah, but only because the womam i'm going to marry is from Utah. Our plan is to move to utah after she finish's vet school in may 2011. She's fed up with this place, Im from here and im fed up with this place, and neither of us wants to raise kids here.

I would really hate to see the asshats that live here, move there, ruin the place, and give me a bad name by association.

Mr. Obama's performance is at the core of the US now. From the economy to religion, to race relations.

Obama has not been the leader I wanted an progressive to espouse. But he has alienated many in the country by his community organizer mentality.

For both reasons Mr. Obama will be another Jimmy Carter. High ideals without any results or respect.
