What happened to the "California Dream"?

I moved to Los Angeles for school a few months ago and there are many people here who complain about the costs of living, rent in particular. People working 2-3 jobs isn't uncommon. People leaving (usually when they are beginning to have a family) to another state isn't uncommon. What happened to the Golden State?

"As California goes, so goes the nation."

The great immigration resulted in the great emigration. Now other states get to suffer with all of the bleeding heart leftists, who coincidentally are the first to flee the messes they create.

Maybe we should not print this much money?:confused:

You are right, it was the other way around.

What if the golden state was not golden and it was an illusion , an illusion everyone may now see through ?

But they have Sand Valley! Sorry, I mean SillyCon Valley. Also Hollywood. Do not tell me these are not real?

Dreamers.
