    Okay, but then with how much tax money they send away from their own state, they could actually fix all that. If they wanted to, anyway.

      Can’t join your mentality that those w money shouldn’t pay taxes, that elitism isn’t ok for billionaires and it isn’t ok for a state.

      They could fix it by upping their budget allocation from .5% of their budget to 2%. But they wont.

      It’s like a bad landlord, who has a trashy property and won’t clean it up and just complains why does trash end up on my property?

      If landlord won’t care for their property, who is supposed to?

      Obviously the owner.

        It’s not elitism. The Feds are now corrupt and hostile to California. The country is broken as the federal government is failing to follow its obligations. There isn’t much hope this will change for the foreseeable future. The best route is separation.

        And suggesting I leave my park system for another state is exactly what im advocating against.

        My park systems fires are limited to when one sets a trash can on fire. Because we work hard on it in my east coast state.
