She and all other state or federal officials, from California are criminals( just like Chicago) they are in the same situation ( except it hasn't totally screwed up the state of Illinois).

The Northern half is rural, ranches and farms; but Southern California has the big population centers, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley. The ranchers and farmers are stuck with the bad decisions Liberals make. I'd LOVE to return to Cali, but it's too expensive and drowning in ridiculous regulations.

    What I really LOVE about this documentary is it shows sooo much HOPE. The American dream has not disappeared, It has just changed. I don't see it as "I must buy property to fulfill that dream." As a child of the '60s, I'm very happy to see the "commune" style of living come back. With the housing crisis, it may be the most fiscally sound way for people to live. I am one who still believes it takes a village to raise a child. Communal living does that. Happy, healthy children, are the new American dream. A dream that can come true.

It is a greed deal, not just money greed, but, also greed for fame good numbers when they try to get reelected or go for a promotion. No one politicians or the average Joe for the most part wants to deal with the fact that the poverty in this nation is not mostly a matter of poor choices addiction lazyness or an unwillingness to work. Because that means facing the reality that good people who do right and try their best end up getting screwed over. And they don't want to deal with that reality

    I left the state of California some time around the time this was filmed. It worked out good for me. I'm glad i left. I've been back to visit a few times since including recently. "Summer of 2017" the problems didn't appear to get any better, infact it looked like it got worse. More homelessness, more disparity. One thing that surprised me was tent settlements on the side of the freeways that were not there when i left.... It was overwhelming and unfortunate.

    In 2000, I left my apartment at 3;30 am, while my neighbors slept in. I was not making it, but the woman on state aid received everything, including an extra $1,200 for reporting her mom driving the kids to school, which she did not. Oh...And the dad ,fresh from jail, lived there, but that was not reported ,so she received more. And neither worked. I could smell the 'weed' burning next door.....I live in Arizona now.

      harla ryder I agree with your sentiment. But here is the weird thing... the UN has set up regional boards that oversee towns and cities and counties. They tell our officials what to do and we have no power to change their agenda. I learned this when our zoning board went after me for raising goats on my inherited farmland. I found out they are zoning farmland residential, forbidding raising livestock or working fields, raising taxes, taking complete control of our land . The UN is doing this all over the world.

      They were right to want HRC though even if I dislike her. The Republican tax bill caused high tax blue states to be worse off. That's why the Orange County districts held by Republicans switched to Democrats in the US House. Note that the Orange County district seats held by Republicans in the state house remained Republican other than one which flipped to Democrats. That says something.

    Most Californians get their electricity through PG&E whos rates are set by a commission selected by the Governor called the PUC. The rates are tiered and after the first few days in a billing cycle, the rate jumps to over .41 cents a Kwh. The highest price paid for electricity in the world. The National average is like .09 a Kwh. That rate is not just outraging it is criminal and liberals have granted them another rate hike later this year. Not surprisingly PG&E is one of the largest donors to the Democrats. The feds need to seize PG&E if not the whole state.
