- The latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that Los Angeles County led the nation in population decrease in 2022, with more than 90k people moving away. Tena Ezzeddine takes a look at a number of factors that may have led to the exodus which has now continued for the last three years.

90k gone and im still stuck in traffic
No kidding right. Barely noticeable
Ahh, 100k moved in 😝
Drop in the bucket
@愛 nope state is declining to down 800000 in 3 years that's About to drop under 39million. LA county is down to under 10million now
Still no parking either!
Who could have ever guessed that making housing entirely unaffordable and letting everything go to shit would drive people away. Honestly, I never could have foreseen it.
Yes 🙌 speak truth
Making housing unaffordable? What does that mean? Nobody controls capitalism supply and demand. If I want to buy an apartment building and double the rent it’s my choice. The capitalist choice. That’s how it works.
Who could have guessed a bunch of people from out of State moving to southern California would have caused housing to become unaffordable? Me.
Your comment cracked me up….because it is right!
@DavidPerez-lw3tn Yeah,
I agree you can also start shipping people here .and put them in one apartment at individual pay at 500.laws are on your side rn jack it to 4000 but each person renting thinks it's a steal.good luck.
Florida cost of living is also getting completely ridiculous.
Alot of people I've met have told me they come from other places I've met about 2 people who were actually from Florida...
Funny how there aren’t any conservatives flocking
You need to cross out the word “getting” from that sentence.
@@Pandora234able ofc not, most conservatives don't live in big cities like liberals usually do.
It’s only going to get worse. Think of moving before your taxes skyrocket and your cost of living is through the roof.
I’m 26 and lived in San Diego my whole life. Wouldn’t want to leave until it gets to the point I can’t afford to live here anymore. I’ve lived in a 2 bedroom apt with my parents and sister all my life. I can’t afford to have my own place and all the people my age are in the same boat. They all live with their parents still. My parents and I split the cost of rent, groceries, utilities etc. and are able to get by fine. I manage to still be able to enjoy and afford living here but that’s just because I have my parents helping me out. We have a house in Tijuana we can move to but we’d rather live in a tiny apt here. You practically need to have a high income or have lots of help in order to live here.
So as a 26 year old man you would prefer to live with your parents, in a tiny apartment? I’m sure you get allllll the ladies. Sounds like you need to grow up.
Get a better job. Or leave Cali and stop voting blue.
@@928pcar and move to a boring town inland with no scenic views and bad weather? No thanks! Theres a reason the homeless population is big in California. People would rather be homeless here then anywhere else in the country lol.
@@joewarrior619 that’s not why the homeless population is big in Cali LOL 💩 state liberal cesspool is why they are there. You are so delusional
@@joewarrior619 The governor of Hawaii offered the homeless population there a free ticket back to their home state (most from the MidWest), there were no takers. 🤣 People would rather be homeless in beautiful HI or CA. This beauty, unfortunately, also attracts a lot of homeless from around the country.
It blows my mind how 90k people can leave but 90k people can’t protest and stand up to the BS that these soft judges, lawmakers and city officials have turned the area into.
Protest doesn't lower rent
Why should they ? They are only drowned out by the losers who voted for this crap.
This is how blue states are going to die.
No they just leave and vote the same way in their new city and F everything there up too.
@@gvue4396 neither does having a president that is about to slap a mortgage fee
@@jonesjones7057 it’s like a walking cancer
What California, Illinois and NY are experiencing is not just population loss, but the loss of people who pay the taxes for all the social programs in those states.
A lot of Asians'd love to buy those penthouses. The population decreases, attracting new residents who can afford to pay more for health care and services in the county. It may be time for the public hospitals to have valet parking services.
Not to mention crime is an another level
Say more my brother
Believe it or not Illinois is growing sorry to burst your bubble
Shithole democrat cities and states. Of course.
My wife and I moved out of Glendora in 1999. Moved to Vegas and couldn't be happier. We bought our first home when we were only 22 years old.
I live here. People are still clueless calling for rent control, still wanting to be soft on crime not realizing they’re the problem.
A liberal left nightmare….
Why is rent control a problem ?
@@branbeelotus well it’s part of the problem that causes people/ companies not to invest in areas where there is rent control because the return isn’t worth it in a rent controlled area.
The other issue is, California has a lot of environmental regulations making it a total pain in the ass or impossible to develop certain areas with housing.
There’s more causes but just these two things are a direct cause of the huge shortage of housing we now have. So what happens when you have high demand and low supply? You get high ass prices. Which is why housing affordability is so expensive in California.
It's almost hopeless for younger people to get into their own homes anymore.
Watch me not care.
Average intelligence level is dwindling down.
Even if they inherit the home. They probably won't be able to afford taxes. Better sell quick while you can.
@@richardmorris7063 sell? Then what? Ever increasing rent will eventually eat you, with all that money burned away.
You will own nothing and be happy
Crime and taxes in LA are out of control
Ton of crimes not being reported especially when it not worth over $5000 in lost.
That is when you protest your politicians, but first, you have to overcome your prideful ego.
That's socialism
It’s part of the LOS ANGELES experience, like getting mugged by a homeless person while walking in the middle of downtown LA
Anywhere you have large masses of black and brown skins your gonna get this... Facts are facts
Born in 1968 and lived my whole life in Socal until last year. So glad to be out of that state. Shame as it used to be such a great place to live.
You got to enjoy so much of what the state does or did offer. You experienced it. I think it's a shame that people that are young now and want to experience what its like to live in California or New York may not get to. The older crowd certainly did.
Los Angeles is known for being expensive
Happy for those 90k people. Can’t imagine living in a crowded city and struggling to get by
I left Los Angeles 18 years ago and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.
Same here...
Why are you still watching LA news? Can't let it go?
@@junkboxxxxxx
I clicked on the video because I find it entertaining that people are leaving that dump of a city, and dump of a state.
Yea, LA is ugly and has many problems that annoy the heck out of me but truth be told if you have money and time there's no place like California. For example, last week I took my boat to the ocean for a spin on a sunny afternoon, this weekend going on a mountain bike ride in the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains, following weekend possibly heading to Big Bear. Going to the Kern in a few months for some awesome river rafting. Heading to Yosemite in July. Cal has so much to offer in entertainment, fresh food, different top notch cuisines, ocean, mountains, weather, hot women from all parts of the world, money making opportunities, it's endless. No other state compares and that's where the natural jealousy comes to play. So as you all express your hatred for California just remember one thing, while you guys are waiting for warmer weather to get out of the house, I've been outside the entire time living life. Sadly the lefties are winning but I'm not giving up my prime real estate to any delusional wokesters ever.

You simply can't conceive the traffic in LA unless you go drive in it a few days. I've been there a couple of times and that shit is just ridiculous. Spending several hours of your day in stop and go traffic is excruciating.
Was there in 2016 for vacation, wanted to see the Hollywood sign. Big mistake. I came down from the costal highway and there was a line of cars that seemed like it stretched on into downtown starting from the beach….after half an hour of not moving I said fuck this and went to LAX to gtfo and go back home.
We went out a number of years ago to visit my wife's friend. They lived in Sherman Oaks. She told us she had seen the 405 backed up at 3:00 and 4:00 AM. Not due to construction or accidents, just volume. Absolutely insane.
@@ViPER5RT10 The fact people willingly live there boggles my mind but as long as it keeps them out of everywhere else it works for me. Don't know why anyone would subject themselves to it.
I grew up in L.A. city and I moved out when I tuned 18. Haven’t looked back. It’s turned nasty with the homelessness and soft on crime policies
@@ViPER5RT10 jeez
The population drop is mainly from people who are hard working fed up with crime and homeless. But the population has increased with many new out of state homeless coming to the city.
And don’t forget the biggest most important productive group especially with procreating….”THE ILLEGALS”. More more more oh lovely Cali with their angelic politicians they only care about the people. What a haven for hope

I live in South Carolina and there are three families that moved from L.A. to my neighborhood because of homelessness and crime. This lady has no idea why people are leaving
I’ve been wanting to move there for a while now. NY is getting to be too much, but luckily I’m upstate and away from NYC. How expensive are the coastal areas for a 1 bed or studio? And is it relatively safe?

@@thechef408 No, the housing crisis is a large part, but I have often gone to downtown LA for shows, conventions and just to spend weekends there and the homeless camps are still there, still in the same areas and growing. Drive into the city from the freeway and there's still trash everywhere, dotted with homeless encampents.
I live in Florida. I rented a uhaul a few weeks ago. I asked if I needed a reservation. he said "nah we got 280 trailers here" wow. That many people moving to my little rural area!!
Make feiends with them and share some conservative ideas, they might come around with a little work.
My Husband and I moved our family out of CA. We’re both born and raised there but it has definitely changed for the worse.
You know its bad when even the rich are pulling out of LA and even the state. They say to live comfortably in LA, you'd have to make $75k a year (without kids). More like $75k a year without kids, without debt, and good to great credit. Majority of everyone here don't have that luxury. Almost everyone that I know that are around my age of 30 to 60 years old and are back to living with their parents because they cant afford to get a place of their own. A studio apartment/1 bed 1bath apartment is between $2800-$5000 without utilities. Gas is $4.50 to $6.00 a gallon. Groceries are getting more expensive and being sold in less quantities. The list goes on and on and there is absolutely no way one person can make it out there alone unless they got a 6-7 digit paying job. Absolutely bonkers
Not just Los Angeles County people are leaving out of the entire damn state
Don't bring that liberal hippie bullshit over to Red States

Yet, the population continues to grow in spite of the “exodus.”

I sold my home in LA and moved to Las Vegas last year. I'm not going to slam LA or its people but I have to say, I live a lot better now after the move. No regrets. No regrets at all. Less traffic, less hassle, lower cost of living (houses 1/2 the price and more modern/ nicer), more things to do. And a nice tax break.
Nice taxes until you vote for more taxes.
And more traffic and higher cost of living for us who were already here...

Yup I was one of the 90K to leave and went Atlanta but I miss LA. However, costs aren’t realistic. Maybe one day I’ll be back
It's not housing and costs. I would pay big money for a nice neighborhood, nice house, nice car, etc. It is what is not being delivered even after paying the high costs that is driving people away. Pay those money just to get robbed in your neighborhood? or to get homeless people shitting on your doorstep? HELL NO
Preach it my friend! 🙌
Damn right! I moved out of LA 2 years ago. I have a beautiful house safe neighborhood. No desire to be back in LA
Housing and costs are part of it. People making $70k/year are living paycheck to paycheck. That's unacceptable. Not everyone can be a $10k/day CEO. If I didn't inherit my home, I'd have left long ago.
you got slumlords and coporate banks gobbling up houses to inflate the home values and techies pricing locals out of homes families have owned since the depression. its a top down problem.
Make sure to also vote like a standard Tennessee resident if you'd like to keep it like it is.
Must be pretty bad if people are fleeing palm trees and beaches! Great work Gavin you must be so proud!
Cheaper prices for the new Californians moving in.
They love ruining the lives of hard-working Americans, forcing the closure of millions of small, medium-sized businesses, putting people out of work, importing everything from overseas --- nothing is being made/manufactured in America.. Shortages of water, gas, power, supplies, food, cancer drugs, products needed to complete new housing, vehicles costing 2 to 3 times more than a couple of years ago - and the outrageous prices for gas. Gavin is being taught how to destroy us.
it's almost skillful to fuck up what California had going for it decades ago. not to mention the amount of large businesses. their politicians are impressively incompetent.
Its all the foreigners buying all the apartments and raising the rents
A lot of it has to do with Is the homeless flocking to california from other states. Maybe they should just start sending them back

It's hilarious to see everyone pleading Californians not to relocate to their home states. I'm in agreement however, here in Tennessee our housing market was fine until it begin taking in waves of people from Northern states or California during the last decade and half. Now such folks sell their properties at an exorbitant cost only affordable to residents from high-cost states. Serious regulations need to be set in place for people leaving their extravagant states in interest of purchasing property in others which are much cheaper.

Met a couple from LA 2 days ago, they told me they left because they finally realized that they have NO freedom after visiting Idaho and decided to leave within weeks of returning. Once you turn your citizens into serfs, they start to wake up.
Not fast enough, unfortunately. It's still a minority who see what is going on. The rest are the proverbial frogs in a boiling pot of water.
Maybe because Idaho enforces it's laws?
Why is it considered "Good news" to have MORE people moving into places like Riverside County? More people means more traffic, longer lines at the store, and higher rent, etc. As a California native, I say we have WAY too many people here as it is.
As a kid I thought this would be my home state forever, but as you grow up and have different life experiences as well as being on your and seeing the changes for the worse as an adult.

Ik- that reporter "people bought houses in cheaper cities" yeah f*cktard they did! Los Angeles is a utopia for pedophiles, gangs, corruption but not famlies.. I'm born and raised in LA county.. I now hate California from afar
I was born and raised in Cali I thought it was going to be my home forever as well but when you have your own family you have to think about what's best for them and unfortunately I had to make a huge decision moving out to Texas. There's so much opportunity here and affordability. At the moment Im renting a huge 3 bed 2 bath for only 1200 with a huge yard nice neighborhood, we can also afford even private school for our kiddos. We are definitely looking forward purchasing some land and a home here something that seemed to be just a dream back in LA. Cali though will always always have a special place in my ❤️ and I cannot wait to go visit soon 🥹
And if your planning on moving here in Texas, as they say "let's keep Texas red" don't turn it to another catastrophic blue state 🙏
Partner and I are in our mid 50’s. Our house is on sale in CA Central Valley so we can find some place where our money can stretch a little further but we leave all our families and friends. We are considering this move a great adventure and hope to find people

I left Norwalk back in July and now live in Dodge City, Kansas. My neighbors moved a year before me and moved to Yukon, Oklahoma.
By the way my income went down roughly $850 a month but my rent went from $2500 a month to $1100 a month. And the fuel price out here is $3.00 a gallon, of course I don't need much fuel because I barely move my car anymore, no more 30-minute drives to get to work.

I just met a guy last night at the American legion who was a police officer in LA, quit, and moved his family here to Wyoming. Unfortunately these moves have driven our property taxes through the roof and retired elderly home owners are suffering. My 80 year old father is on fixed income and his taxes jumped 35% last year. Property prices have become grossly inflated since 2020 or so.
Florida is seeing people in droves, and the prices for once affordable homes on some land are now astronomical.
Same here in Texas, housing is insane right now
Same going on in the country in new York !!! People fleeing these democrap cities in droves !!! They just doubled our assessments in the country .
Literally those taxes have nothing to do with people moving? The taxes were already going up before these migrations occurred, as was the housing crisis already an issue. It’s the other way around.
They are leaving _because_ of the outrageous taxes and housing prices, not directly causing it.
That is just despicable and it is why the pos need to be voted out. But people keep voting them in thinking they will eventually do the right thing. It reminds me of Stockholm Syndrome.
Don't forget to add homelessness, crime, drug zombies everywhere, taxes on top of taxes, highest gas tax in the nation, teachers grooming children, parents rights legislated away, and more....

You don't have to tell me anything too personal..I'm looking to make an overseas move myself within the next decade and I'm so curious as to how difficult it actually can be. Obviously, I'm sure it wasn't an easy move, but was it very difficult? Would you recommend the area you moved to? Apologies for my curiosity, you can ignore my questions if you're not comfortable sharing. 🙂
let's be honest, it's a dump, tons of petty crime, mail stolen, my parents even had the refrigerant stolen out of their ac unit, air pollution, people parking in the middle of the street, dumping trash all over, and worst of all hipsters walking designer dogs
My at the time lived in boyfriend, he had his car stolen.
The refrigerant was to get high on,
My bike was stolen the other day. You have to be a desperate lowlife to steal a bike.
And you’re right about the trash. The way people litter here is disgusting.
Darn those brand name barks!
Haha. That last part.
My friends just moved their family away from LA. ‘I couldn’t stand the craziness’ was his excuse.
But there's no data on how many are coming in to Los Angeles County. The US Census Bureau only provides a snapshot from when they survey the area's population. The good news is that 90K did not decrease Federal funding to LA County THANKS TO THE DEMOCRATIC WHITE HOUSE and DEMOCRATIC SENATE. And like the news in this segment said, the pandemic caused most of the change. Let's see after a year or two on what will happen. Significant change won't happen until after 5 to 10 years. So, all in all, VOTING MATTERS. VOTE BLUE. LIKE SERIOUSLY, VOTE BLUE. DEMOCRATS ALL THE WAY. UNLESS IT'S A MODERATE TO LEFT LEANING REPUBLICAN like a Gerald Ford or Teddy Roosevelt.

Isn’t Portland getting as bad as LA? Which part is rural Oregon? I would like to know. We used to travel to Portland, but stopped going there due to the lawlessness.
Ooooh shiiit I moved to rural oregon 4 years ago spent two years there then got stuck in France for two years during the pandemic now I’m having to come back to downtown Los Angeles to care for my aging uncle, I hate it here it’s disgusting and feels like a third world country apparently speaking English is racist ( I speak three languages no excuses) …. wtf this place is just falling…
Why move back?
@@helenmak5663 Beaverton and Bend are nice cities in Oregon
@@youzz33 Thanks!
I predicted that when Karen Bass was elected as mayor of Los Angeles, there would be a mass exodus. It doesn't take a psychic to predict that.
You’re spot on but she was ... SELECTED not elected.
Sure you did
So why are you bragging about it?
She wasn't ELECTED she was appointed by BLM and the pseudo-democratic system, just like cities in SAN FRANCISCO, CHICAGO, NEW YORK, all big cities🙄
Ive seen third worlds that are safer than LA right now. Its another chicago, san francisco, detroit.
It wasn't the pandemic that made people move out of Los Angeles County. It was the pandemic POLICIES. Big difference there.
So long, California dreams
You will be missed
I moved from Los Angeles County because of crime and just too many people everywhere. It just got too depressing.
Crime is everywhere now.
Yeah this news show sugarcoated the real reasons people are leaving
LA doesn't have too many people - the density is much lower than that of NYC Chicago and San Francisco - bear in mind, it's the second largest city in the country.
Still voting for the same politicians that brought the destruction of the city though? That's what we all want to know. This is how the cancer spreads.
You voted for it. Decimate the area and move onto a new area to infect. You made that bed, you should lay in it.
It's almost like regulating and taxing the dog shit out of your residents without providing any services makes people leave.....imagine that.
@CW Good luck, I left CA after 35 years in 2019 when they effectively made it impossible for me to keep my farm. I couldn't imagine going back and trying to start a farm there now.
There's services but too many people trying to drag it down to nothing.
Los Angeles is world known city
@@angelachanelhuang1651 yea....so are a lot of cities, and?
The movie Escape from LA was ahead of its time
"The pandemic made many move..." - No, I think it was the tyrannical lockdowns and mandates that did it.
Honestly, after having visited recently, I cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would visit or stay there at all. It is so vastly different than twenty years ago I couldn't believe I was in the same place.
I was wondering about this, myself. I lived there 20 years ago and, while there was crime and it was far from a paradise, there were good things and I liked it. I thought the commute to worked sucked then, too. It sounds like things have changed, though.
I don't live in LA but I was in town last week visiting. Being stuck on the 55 and 91 highways for hours on end, I don't blame some locals for wanting to get the F out.
That's not LA bud.
@@twczzkm To non-LA residents, it's all the same.
@@alooga555 I suppose so. Traffic is extremely bad. I been working from home for years, if my commute was over an hour I'd likely want to leave as well or at the very least look at other work options.
@@twczzkm Was the traffic bad even during the height of COVID days?
@@alooga555 Covid calmed things down quite a bit but I hear and see all the traffic is back. Honestly, LA traffic sucks.
Paying 3k a month for a 2 bedroom apartment is nuts to me, especially when it's in a neighborhood not fit for a violent offender.
Yes!! Please move out!! Traffic and rent are too much!
Hundreds of thousands had already been leaving before the census. I was born and raised in so cal and bailed in 2015.
Same here, I left 20 years ago.
In 2017
@@RC02216 than go back in Time lmao
After 20 years, I got out of that hellhole in Feb of 2023 and haven’t looked back. I hope it gets better but it will get worse before it does.
Yup, until the voters finally open their eyes it’s only going to get worse
Wow you lived there for 20 years? I bet you contributed absolutely nothing to actually changing anything and are going to siphon what good is left in wherever you went too, before parasitically moving somewhere else again.
I bet you miss it😂
@@MissMichSan of course I do but I don’t miss the homelessness, the crime, the drug addicts, high rent, high cost of living, low opportunities, heavy traffic, air pollution, lines around the block to literally everywhere, overcrowding, people who think they’re cool, wanna be actors, wannabe producers, wannabe rappers, wannabes in general, gender confusion, idiocracy, car chases, road rage, reverse racism, and pretty much everything else that’s not the beaches, beautiful weather, hills, and nature.
@@MissMichSan there’s nothing to miss 🤣🤣
Same in NY
I wonder what these 2 states have in common
Just moved to Virginia from Riverside , 65 years born & raised in California.
Who's too blame Gruesome Newsom
They've definitely come to Nevada in droves. Both surface streets and highways are more clogged and busier than before, several fruit stands that I only saw in LA have popped up on street corners, and at almost ever neighborhood intersection are wheelie tire marks. What's worse is the state keeps building houses and apartments when Lake Mead's water level is dwindling.
Damn . I wanted to go move there. Cross another one off the list.
You sound like Nevada doesn't have problems LOL. You must be a boomer living in a 55+ community
Florida's like that as well. It's not that we were unpopular before, but the last few years people have been coming here in droves sold on a pipe dream of perfect weather and "freedom". Most I talk to say it's not what they expected because they didn't really understand the humidity, the bugs/lizards everywhere (yes, you will find them in the house constantly) and that we have the same problems/and most of the legal restrictions as anywhere else. Meanwhile, our housing costs have gone from expensive to ridiculous, which is a problem when much of your economy is tourism based and relies on low wage service jobs. Between rising housing, insurance and other costs the tax incentives disappear in a hurry these days. There's lots of development going on with no though to density impacts (traffic has doubled many places, school overcrowding). Now they can't get enough construction workers and with current legislation regarding migrants that's just going to get worse. And water will be an increasing issue with the strain on the aquifer. Lot's of lakes and waterways run much lower than they did when I was younger (and less healthy).
Yep, and they've all come to my town, ruining my chance of owning a home in my home town. Worked 10 years to establish myself here too.
They have moved to my home town Dallas, Texas and we are so over crowded and it is miserable!!
90k LA Born Natives? 90k transplants? 90k transplants that stayed for 1 year? 90k what range of demographics? Need more data on this weak research!
That’s the one real question. Most of these people who left the state were never from California to begin with. They came here for work for a few years, and now they’re leaving.
@@kyshac81- Bingo. They came to California to “find themselves” and left. They took their cash and ran.
The reporter is from LA, what do you expect?
The Census is done every 10 years. They're using Census data, as stated in the report. People for one year would only represent a small portion of Census data.
I got a job offer in Orange County, with the substantial pay increase I took it and I lasted 8 months there. My kids hated it, and all I did was work and drive. The traffic is no joke at any time of the day or night, and the cost of things is incredibly inflated. Restaurant servers expect 25 and 30% gratuity, its all so annoying the way money just goes when I lived there. Yes, there are the people that can enjoy the lifestyle, and can afford all the whatevers, that was not me, and I thought I was doing pretty good for myself at the time.
Very true. I live in OC. I’m waiting to move to Miami. Where did you move to?
Orange County is even worse than la when it comes to traffic far worse
@@mariesoto569 We actually wound up in Rosarito MX for a few years, but currently in East SF area. So its just as bad...
You're being a bit of a Karen my friend. Waiters do not expect 25 to 30% and have ya ever done traffic in Houston, Dallas, or Denver? Honestly, no better then LA.
@@DHPMeditations nobody asked a Karen with 2 first names like Dan Paul.
I moved out in 2015. Too much traffic, too many immigrants, and home prices are out of control. Houses that cost $30k in '78, ballooned to 300k in the 2010s.
All those damn flying bikes...
*Cant have shit in LA.*
Imagine moving from California and still trying to vote the same , this is why other states ask us to stay out
says the bozo who is not Californian
@@tydetrinity ROFL is that what the news told you?
@Tyde California has the highest homeless rate in the country. California leads the state in residents on assistance....paid for by the Republicans in the state.
@@personnesenki4521 he is not news he is Newsom cousin. Or “special friend”.
Many of those who leave California are conservatives.
Left Los Angeles in January of this year & never looked backed.
Where are you now?
@@DialloMoore503 bet he went to San Bernardino 😂
No suppise here. As a former resident along time ago . Glad I left when I did. Terrible place now.
In the past year, my morning commute has gone from 43 minutes to now 70 minutes. Everyone might be leaving California but most seem to just be moving further inland to chino hills apparently.
I drive 8 miles to work and it takes me 45 minutes to get there. More people would take public transportation if it wasn’t free to the homeless and drug addicts.
Exactly 210 and 605 have gotten so jammed packed at all times of day even midnight.
@@maxsonmusic6104 exactly...la used to have a rush hour now it's all day
Detroit used to be one of the richest cities in the world, and look at it now. That can happen anywhere. The good news is that CA gets twice as many illegals and homeless than are leaving to fill the void.
Because someone with only a high school school degree or even drop out could get a decent job in manufacturing. Once they took that away, the poverty skyrocketed.
That's California's actual constituency as they clearly hate the middle/working class.
Detroit went to crap because they bussed up endless amounts of African Americans from down south to work in the factories. If Detroit stayed all white then it'd still be alright.
@@IdealUser bubbles
What makes you think that “illegals” can afford those prices? They are everywhere, not just California anymore. They move wherever there are jobs
90k is a drop in the bucket. Do the math. 1% of LA County and no mention of move-ins.
I don't know where to go😭
Couldn’t leave California but I left LA(38 years there)to live in NorCal. Never moving back. I love how green it is in NorCal. A little less plastic people up here, more family oriented and lots of outings in nature. LA was a rotting apple, always has been.
What part?
Facts I used to live in Fremont til 1982 when I moved to la
I moved up north too from LA in 2017. Best decision ever. I have more in common with people up here than the shithole down there.
I agree norcal is green, but there is places that can be very dangerous. Norcal isn't what use to be either its getting very expensive to live here the freeways are very congested compared to what they use to be. Also there is houses popping up everywhere, but hardly any places for entertainment.
@@lglgcool8537more expensive versus LA as someone from NorCal
