      @@shirleyyoung1941 I moved from Redlands California, a two hour drive from Los Angeles, to West Valley Utah, next to Salt Lake City in 2020, and am so happy I did.
      I miss the Southern California weather, but that's it. The last time I went to LA it looked and smelled like the aftermath of the Zombie Apocalypse. When I visit Salt Lake City it's mostly clean, most businesses are open, there's just a small handful of homeless you occasionally see in the downtown area, and it just feels a lot safer. Sure SLC isn't perfect, as no city is, but it's a whole lot better than LA.

      The same people and politicians that touted "sanctuary city," and "helping the homeless," will be picking up that premium real estate for pennies on the dollar and cleaning it out. They sold this as a "humanitarian," approach, this sanctuary city malarkey. They are playing the long game. Can't believe they reelected both Pelosi and Newsom.

    You know, I spent 2 years in Thailand, and then I came back to this. Thailands cities are thriving, California's cities are decaying and dying. Very sad.

    Many factors are at work to create these situations. This is not limited to California but seems to be present in most if not all big cities. The causes? Inflation, resulting in increases in: rent/lease, business fees, utilities, commodities, taxes,etc. Lack of law enforcement, security, employee safety, theft. Recovery is not going to be so quick if it ever does happen.

      @@carsten4594 it is tied to democrats. If they run that city, if they're in charge of a state, it will look like California. THAT is what took it down.

    Charles Bukowski once said,
    "Sadness is caused by intelligence, the more you understand certain things, the more you wish you didn't understand them”
    I feel sometimes the Lord has to reveal to us the evils of this world in order for us to truly appreciate His love, mercy, and righteousness
    Sometimes we have to brought to rock bottom to realize God IS the Rock at the bottom. Similar to what David wrote in Psalm 119:71: “It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I might learn thy statutes”
    We have to be shown the harsh realities of this world. We have to be brought to nothing. This helps keep us from conforming TO the world. Our Kingdom is not of this world. 1 John 5:19 tells us, “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness”
    The Lord is near to the broken-spirited. Psalm 34:18. When we are broken, we realize how utterly dependent we are on the Lord. Humility allows Gods grace to flow freely. All glory to our merciful Lord

      @LeoMetalTraveler thanks for the reply , one question because I've been away from the Bay Area since 2011 ... Did the business closings coincide with the opening of Amazon then greatly accelerate with COVID shutdown ?
      Also wondering what the planners and developers of these cities have in mind for the future 🤔 , thanks

    • @LeoMetalTraveler
