[quote=davelj][quote=peterb]It will be interesting to see if the welfare is really cut or not. And what ramifications would come from it? Perhaps a rise in the crime rate? Who knows. CA does not have a sustainable game plan, so it must be changed. People could leave, but where would they go?
It may be a very wise strategy to stay very flexible in these uncertain times. Life in CA may become very nasty for a while.[/quote]
“Perhaps a rise in the crime rate?” I don’t know about this. I’m betting there are cities all over Mexico – just to use our neighbor to the south as an example – where the population is far poorer than San Diego’s – even adjusting for welfare cuts – that don’t have the sort of crime problems you’re envisioning. Sure, there might be some modest uptick, but I don’t foresee a Death Wish scenario where I can’t walk outside without four folks trying to mug me in four separate incidences over two hours (man, that guy was unlucky).[/quote]
have you gone to the other states? because police, fire, and teacher salaries are lower in other states, crime is rampant, cities are burning and colleges are closing. thats another reason everyone wants to live in ca.
