Victor Davis Hanson: The Demise of California

[brnbwild]

I moved my IT company from CA to NV 20 years ago...I won't bore you with the details of $$$ saved

I am a fifth generation Californian, I am both angry and saddened by what the leadership has done to this state. Victor Davis Hanson is spot on with his assessment of our state.

[nancychamberlin]

He speaks so calmly while delivering devastating news. Why don’t the leaders listen to what he’s saying? He knows what’s wrong and yet no one will try to fix it.

[ErinGoBrau]

And to think just a few years back, Arnold Schwarzenegger was putting up commercials telling people " Move to paradise, California."as Governor.

[ChicagoBeaver]

Great job Democrats for completely effing up the entire country. A huge FU to you.

[cognitivedissidents]

I don’t believe anyone could identify a major policy area in California that isn’t in crisis I.e. Water, Natural Resources, Education, Criminal Justice, etc. and all of these problems are self-inflicted.

I am a Brit drove the West Coast down to San Diego and up to Lake Tahoe in 94 and all the sites between, absolutely loved it, it is heartbreaking to see this.
It is also happening in Britain now, the West needs to wake up to this shocking turn of events

Best thing about California was seeing it in my rear view mirrors. Never going back.

[shellback]

I grew up in California. California has been turned into a toilet....wife and I left in 08. Will never go back.

I would love to see Victor Davis Hanson and Thomas Sowell in the same room discussing the problems of this country. I would pay to see that.

Never laid eyes on Mr Victor Davis Hanson before in my life, but that was one of the most succinct, comprehensive and accurate descriptions of what has and is happening to this once great state that I have ever heard. I would have loved to be in his class at university!

[DavidBryant-vi]

Thank you for posting this. I hope many people will watch this and wake up

I grew up in Southern California and in 1993, after the Rodney King riots I packed up and left the state. Bailed on a good paying job. I was 30 years old and figured to start over in another state. I could clearly see what was coming and I wanted no part of it. It's even worse than I could have imagined. California will end up like a third world country south of the border...rich and poor and nothing in between with dilapidated cities segregated by two distinct classes...one of them swimming in filth and garbage. It's already there, really.

Thank you every democrat member of congress from California, specifically Pelosi, and of course
Newsom. When they think of you as a basket of deplorables that is exactly how they will treat you.

[jesseramon]

Sir
Mr. HANSON you are a national treasure of common sense and truth.

Thank you very much
For bringing sanity to this country and the world.

[billobrien]

Dr. Hanson’s analysis is spot on. He is brilliant!

[nneichan]

Money is King. People haven't mattered for a long time.

[nonosays]

My family came to wonderful California in 1928.
It is almost unbelievable to see what lousy leadership and unbridled illegal immigration has done to our once great Golden State.

[deanproctor]

California has accomplished one very important thing. It has shown others “what not to do”.

[mikewilliams]

Thank God for someone who speaks about reality.
