The title of this Daily Mail story accurately blames liberal politics. But in the body of the story someone, a typical braindead leftist, blames TRUMP!
Junkies and the homeless, many of whom are clearly mentally ill, walk the palm-lined streets like zombies – all just three blocks from multi-million-dollar homes overlooking the Pacific.
Stolen bicycles are piled high on pavements littered with broken syringes.
TV bulletins are filled with horror stories from across the city; of women being attacked during their morning jog or residents returning home to find strangers defecating in their front gardens.
Today, Los Angeles is a city on the brink. ‘For Sale’ signs are seemingly dotted on every suburban street as the middle classes, particularly those with families, flee for the safer suburbs, with many choosing to leave LA altogether.
O’Brien, 58, who moved to LA from London 34 years ago, is also planning to move to Tennessee.
‘Liberal politics has destroyed this city,’ he says. ‘The homeless encampments are legal and there’s nothing the police can do. White, affluent middle-class folk are getting out. People don’t feel safe any more.’
Stretches of Hollywood Boulevard – embedded with glittering stars representing those who achieved their dream of fame and fortune – resemble a Third World shanty town rather than the heart of America’s second-largest city.
‘When I first arrived in LA 40 years ago, the town smelled of orange blossoms. Now the streets stink of urine. There is a beautiful park in Westwood but you can’t go there because there are people slumped on the ground and you step on a carpet of needles.
((((((((((and now, for the typical shithead that simply infuriates me knowing they get to vote))))))))))
‘There’s no hope any more,’ he continues. ‘The rich are getting richer and there’s nothing for those on Skid Row. Trump has done nothing to help the poor. All he cares about are his rich friends making more money. If I had money I’d get out too.’
Wow. The stupid is as strong as the smell of urine.
Meanwhile Newsom and crew are drafting some sort of legislation to impose a “Wealth Tax” on people that leave the state. They plan on taxing people that have left for ten years. An exit tax. Should be interesting
PS. These idiots migrated from somewhere else to California. Wrecked California and now they’re headed your way. At all costs don’t let them in
They have point, the long string of Republican mayors has brought the city to near ruin.
[Sarcasm] or argument from ignorance [logically speaking]
When I was posting how filthy and disgusting progressives are a decade ago I would get a LOT of pushback. I responded that Unless and until you have experienced what it is like to be around them you cannot appreciate them. Now that they have achieved critical mass in most major cities and more and more people have had the opportunity to examine just how filthy, disgusting, destructive, violent, intolerant, nasty, belligerent, arrogant, insufferable etc they truly are… The response is more like: What else is new?
All of this has nothing to do with Trump, it is a function of progressivism.
Charity worker Robert (he declined to give his last name) mans two portable toilets opposite the Google HQ. Recently released from jail, this menial job is the only work he can get.
‘There’s no hope any more,’ he continues. ‘The rich are getting richer and there’s nothing for those on Skid Row. Trump has done nothing to help the poor. All he cares about are his rich friends making more money. If I had money I’d get out too.’
What, Robert with no last name? Surely you can reach a bit farther and blame your criminality, addiction and slim-to-none chances of finding productive work on Trump as well.
They aren’t moving here. They think the natural beauty isn’t worth dealing with the natives. It was my top consideration when I choose AR. In fact I was given the once over by a number of people when I was moving in including a “happen chance” visit by the local sheriff.
I showed him my shop full of glass machinery and haven’t seen him since.
I have yet to see a Biden bumper sticker here or in s MO. But I see plenty of Trump flags, yard signs and billboards.
AR is one of the states where the rural population still holds sway over the urban clusters like Little Rock.
Lol, how far from Hope AR are you?
Makes ya wonder… are they moving or metastasizing???
I passed Hope numerous times moving here from Texas. Big billboards alert drivers they’re entering sacred ground.
It’s kinda in the southern plains part of the state. I live virtually on the MO state line in the Ozarks, very different.
They’re going to go out and pollute the fly over states over which they’ve had such disdain in the past, not realizing the hypocrisy/irony.
What I would give to see those disaster movies from the 70’s come back to happen in real life, starring the Hollywood elite…Poseidon Adventure, Airport, Earthquake, Towering Inferno, etc. One can dream.

On my father’s mother’s side, we have a history in California going back more than 120 years, which may not sound like a long time to some, but in a young state like California, that is deep roots. I just can’t anymore with this shit hole of a state. I’m done.
