[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1346909, member: 7488"] NFF, I always look forward to your posts as a Californian. I have visited there and understand your sentiments about the goodness of the people and beauty of the place. I also also see a lot of the general weirdness and questionable decision-making that leads to much of the conceived notions about the place. Let's face it, The Bay and LA are the majority of the population, even though they are not a majority of the area, and those populations are where much of the stereotypical thought of Californians comes from. Isn't the LA Metro about 17 million of the 36 million of the people in the state I always try to be judicious when commenting on the the place, if for no other reason that I never wanted to paint all people there with the same brush. You commentary about the infrastructure and leadership though seems spot on - it appears the systems in place for the last few decades are showing their insustainability and it is much harder to "undo" those things than having just not started them in the first place.
