If I remember right you were about to retire soon TG.

The good thing about being retired is you are generally in no rush to go anywhere and you can mostly choose to drive not in rush hours. the biggest issue my mother has with crowds and traffic is when she goes to Costco.[/quote]

All true, especially about Costco, that place never seems to slow down no matter when you go.

I was just venting, I know the population will continue to increase here no matter what and it shouldn’t affect me too much, retired or not. Like others I bitch about this state at times but I’ve been to many other places and I’m not sure I’d be happier there even if the taxes are lower. I think the biggest hurdle to being in Cali is the housing cost, once you purchase you’ve fixed those costs. Purchasing with a mortgage isn’t really an investment so much as 30 years of rent control.

Of the friends I have that have retired and left the state or the country, the happy ones are those who did it for reasons other than cost of living.

[temeculaguy]

I think a super majority is unhealthy politically, regardless of which side has it. That being said, if jobs leave to other states, then so will some of the people and I think we have enough people as it is. Most of this blog consists of San Diegans and though we complain about crowds and traffic at times, it’s manageable. I had to go to L.A. today, albeit it was raining but it took me 3 hours and 45 minutes to go 65 miles. When I left it was 7:30 pm and it was bumper to bumper. Maybe we don’t need anymore more people or jobs, perhaps were fine and other places need jobs and growth.

Perhaps I’m being a nativist, I was born here, my parents and grandparents were born in California but that is as far as it goes so in 1900 my people were contributing to to the growth and maybe there were people here not happy about the extra horse traffic. But is there ever a limit? Can we put up a no vacancy sign at some point, ever?

We added 2 million people from 2010 to 2015, we now have the population of Florida and New York combined.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_population_density

look at those numbers! 1st in population by a wide margin, 3rd in square miles but 11th in density.

We are the only state in the top 25 of density to be in the top 10 of land, the next #26 in density, Texas, has 2 1/2 times less density. So send those jobs and people to the places that need them, hell lots of them have lost people between 2010 and 2015. I would think the most liberal state in the union, the one who supposedly cares about the environment the most would be doing what it could to deport legal and illegal aliens as best it can at least to other states.

But then again, sending jobs wont help, sorry for the old reference from 2012, but he LA traffic has sapped my energy

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/politics/sdut-welfare-capital-of-the-us-2012jul28-htmlstory.html

Sending jobs wont help because despite having 12% of the nations population we have 34% of it’s welfare recipients so I guess jobs leaving wont reduce the population. It was a good idea until the facts got in the way. I guess I can blame my first sentence of this diatribe.

BG, I didn’t stick around to take the heat for a reason, because I do not believe in political discussions. This was a prediction thread and I was correct, I think I was one of the earliest. This does not mean this was my first choice, it was akin to gambling. Here’s another prediction, Bama wint the college football championship. I’m not a fan, but I’m not emotional as an Aztec and my team wont make the playoffs, probably ever, due to it’s non power five conference membership.

I’m a student of demographics and I know more than half of those reading this will need to google “power five conference” and wont be able to decipher the acronym “SEC” or know what the “East Coast Bias” means to college sports. That doesn’t mean anyone is better than anyone else, just that I know the audience.

Politics is religion, debate is useless and for as long as I’ve been a part of this online community I have chosen to fade away during elections on purpose.

I am but an observer, but I find bias distorts perception. Here’s my latest prediction and the one thing I am most worried about and that is the California tax on tobacco. Dumbest thing ever, we should repeal all taxes, subsidize tobacco and allow it indoors and in all public places and offices.
we should come within inches of mandating it.

This might sound crazy but all these nanny state laws are going to drive up costs for social security, medicare and other retirement expenses that workers subsidize. There’s no argument that they work, but the costs of people living longer are going to be our greatest challenges in the future. I shouldn’t say this as a man in striking distance of his 50th birthday but the system benefits from shorter lifespans. Youth is finite, the amount of years the young are a drain on the economy is fairly constant. Death keeps moving further out to the point that working life is nearing parity with retirement life. That is going to be a problem. Mark my words, you know I’ll bump and quote this prediction in 20 years.

[temeculaguy]

[quote=temeculaguy]Kinda early for predictions but i say trump wins primary and election based on the current situation. He is in the lead and has the experts baffled without spending much.

Here’s the rub fellow piggs, most Americans hate politicians and know they are being lied to. Trump may say offensive or even stupid things but even the stupid things feel more genuine than the others. I liked Kasich for his healthcare, Christie for numerous reasons and Rubio for many other reasons. But honestly my favorites were Fiorina and the Doc because they weren’t politicians. Trump is another animal altogether, he says what people think, but afraid to say it. Voting is private, polls aren’t. My thoughts are Trump beats the polls and the polls are in his favor.

Evil as it may seem, after San Bernadino, I saw cair on TV and was sick to my stomach, then saw Obama (who I voted for twice) and was sick again. Cair should be on TV snitching off anyone who even looks radicalized.

This site is a collections of intellectuals and economics geeks, but do not for a minute think we are a majority. Plus Hillary will lose the female vote, I know no women who like her. She stayed with a man that cheated more than a professional cyclist just for public opinion, that will bite her. Funny thing is, I voted for him too, twice, but I have no respect for a woman who stayed with him, he deserved to be an alimony payer despite his attributes.[/quote]

Wow, once again i failed to place a bet in vegas or buy a stock. At some point I will trust my own analysis.

[temeculaguy]

You both missed the point. The definition of a Bigot is “a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions”

What you don’t get is that you quickly make judgements of those who hold different opinions. Which is exactly what a racist does. I was attempting to point out the hypocrisy of the car buyer comment. With little to no facts, flyer decided who the person is, why they bought a bad car and why flyer is better than them.

But here’s why it’s my fault. I know there is no point in arguing religion or politics, shame on me for thinking I could. I would have have the same same result if I chose to argue with someone who is drunk. Reason and logic will not prevail. Mea Culpa

[temeculaguy]

[quote=FlyerInHi]There are plenty of good cars that are commensurate with your budget. You have to be stubborn and/or emotional to buy a bad car. It’s like insisting on a performance or status car when your budget is family sedan or economy.[/quote]

Now that is quite the inverted redneck statement. None of my cars that I regretted purchasing were performance or status cars above my means. That post is akin to saying gays get aids because they are making bad choices. But you wouldn’t say that because it’s ignorant and biased. But you’ll say something equally ignorant about a demographic you’ve judged to not fit your paradigm. That’s the same as an ass backwards redneck, just inverted.

That crappy car was a new, late 80’s, no options Honda civic. Back when they were the cheap and reliable car standard. I’ve purchased about 5 Hondas in my lifetime, all wonderful cars except that one. Ive owned BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac, Infiniti and other “status cars” and they all penciled out better. That’s life, that’s playing the odds and still losing. That’s splitting aces against a 6 and losing both hands. Smokers sometimes live to be 100, and non smoker vegans get lung cancer at 45. Sure the odds are in the other direction, but anomalies occur. But when you hear of that vegan getting cancer you don’t say “that’s what you get when you aren’t as smart as me, you should eat some salmon like I do for the antioxidants.”

I figured out why Trump is so popular, why the pendulum has swung against PC. It’s precisely because of comments like this. You buy a car that turns out to be a lemon and suddenly it’s because you are bad, selfish, unrealistic, status driven, etc. etc. It suddenly makes it feel good to vote for the guy that makes Flyer and his ilk pee their pants. See, this is why I hate politics, in a non election year I’d just ignore this and go have a glass of wine. I was a little on the fence because zk made me think about a few things, I’m off that fence now and I hate why. zk, you know who to blame when President Trump pisses you off. Not me, I was forced into it.

One more edit since people here love deals. An empty Pliny the elder bottle sells on ebay sometimes for more that you’d pay for a full bottle from the store that you would have to wait in line for. If I ever become a hobo, that is my business model in order to drink for free, live in santa rosa, sleep in pliny lines and sell the empties for more than I paid for fulls.Another side, a few years ago there was a rumor that Stone in Esco was getting a keg of Pliny the Younger. Two of my employees took the day off to wait in line all day for one glass. It’s like comicon but if comicon only sold 100 tickets a year.

[quote=zk][quote=temeculaguy]ZK, I apologize if some of my musings and even some of my anger looked like they were directed at you, it was not.[/quote]

An apology is totally unnecessary. If it looked like I thought you were angry at me, it’s only because I don’t write “tone” well.

I understand that you think Hillary takes quid pro quo to a whole new level. And you might be right. And I very much dislike that about her as well. I just don’t see that being such a massive factor that Trump, with his myriad gargantuan flaws, would be preferable.

You know ZK, this is beneath both of us, this is you and I discussing who’s less shitty. This is two people picking Chevy Corvair vs. Ford Pinto. Basketball wives vs love and hip hop, or prostate biopsy vs colonoscopy.

Here’s the bright side, we’ve had some crappy presidents before and the checks and balances system we have mostly protects us from them. Your local government has more to do with your life than the federal government so we will be just fine. It’s only four years, it’s but a car payment and i have had some crappy cars and lived to tell the tale.

Olive oil is medicine.

May I recommend tememecula olive oil company oil? Avail online. Grown in aguanga. I’ve seen the operation. It’s the real stuff. Fresh. Date stamped on. I trust them.
Downside. Expensive. 20 bucks for 375ml.
https://www.temeculaoliveoil.com/#

I use it anyway…to me it’s worth it. Cheaper than big pharma meds.

Fresh olive oil tastes radically different than generic supermkt oil, like Miller lite v. Pliny the elder[/quote]

Pliny the Elder!!! Scaredy you are now a true Temeculan. First off, only a true beer aficionado would even know that is a beer, hats off to you. Secondly, the brewer of that beer is Vinnie Cilurzo, a Temecula boy who is the son of one of the the founders of Temecula’s wine country along with Eli Callaway. I met the younger vinnie in the early 1990’s when he started Bling Pig brewery and they only sold in growlers, I was a regular customer and I think he ran it himself. Fast forward 20+ years, the guy gets married and moves up North and people stand in line for hours just to get one of his beers. His wife is from Julian but went to Sonoma state and after they got married they moved to Sonoma. I only say this because my No Cal relatives worship that brewery and Pliny. I enjoyed breaking the news that their king and queen are a boy from Temecula and a girl from Julian who you could buy beer from and drink with here in town in the mid 1990’s and be the only person in the tasting room. Drank with his dad on more than one occasion, dude was a legend locally, Engineer turned winemaker, sad day when Vincenzo Sr. passed.

About Us

Try some Pliny the Younger, although getting the new iphone on release day is probably easier. Rumor has it one of his Temecula friends who owns a liquor store gets a secret supply but no confirmation on that rumor.

http://www.sfgate.com/food/article/Overflow-crowd-of-beer-lovers-awaits-Pliny-the-5214552.php

last bit of trivia, Bling Pig was code in old town temecula during prohibition for beer at certain establishments, I like that he still has a beer called blind pig. Logo is the same too.

http://russianriverbrewing.com/brews/blind-pig-ipa/

For those of you who don’t drink, my apologies. For those that enjoy life and for Scardey who’s home is now sacred ground because the inventor of double IPA grew up probably riding his bike by Scardey’s home, I give you wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_River_Brewing_Company

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_pale_ale#UnitedStates

“Double IPAs (also referred to as Imperial IPAs) are a stronger, very hoppy variant of IPAs that typically have alcohol content above 7.5% by volume.[27] The style is claimed to have originated with Vinnie Cilurzo, currently the owner of Russian River Brewing Company in Santa Rosa, California, in 1994 at the now-defunct Blind Pig Brewery in Temecula, California.[d] The style has been embraced by the craft brewers of San Diego County, California, to such an extent that double IPAs have been referred to as “San Diego pale ale”.[28][29]”

So there you have it San Diego, turn your nose up at us in the exurbs no more. You would not have a brewing identity if it weren’t for Temecula. Temecula, birthplace of the double IPA, I like how that sounds.

[temeculaguy]

ZK, I apologize if some of my musings and even some of my anger looked like they were directed at you, it was not. You are a reasonable person with a valid question. My observations were more general when I spoke of peoples reaction when voting against Hillary vs. Obama elicits a different accusation than when voting against her vs. Trump. It’s a double standard no matter how you feel about either Trump or Obama.

I guess my dislike for her isn’t just one thing. I don’t believe her when she speaks and i do not trust her. I think anyone who thinks the Clinton foundation is a wonderful charity that just helps people have drank too much kool-aid. In my opinion its an influence buying money laundering shell company that also does some nice things as a cover. When former mayor Filner solicited donations to his veterans charity in trade for developer variances it didn’t make it right. But at least he didn’t siphon off millions for personal reasons and paybacks to friends. This is from a random article I found, not from the clinton cash book. I looked up some of the people on the payroll mentioned and they are there, even on their wikipedia pages.

“Pals on the payroll
Unlike most charities, the Clinton Foundation doesn’t dole out grants — it uses its donations to pay a staff of 2,000 to carry out humanitarian work. More than a few of those well-paid employees are longtime Clinton friends, supporters, and operatives with deep roots in the couple’s political machine. Donna Shalala, who was Health and Human Services secretary under President Clinton, recently signed on as president and CEO. Chelsea Clinton now holds the title of foundation vice chair. Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Clinton’s top aides and wife of former New York congressman Anthony Weiner, is also on staff. Longtime adviser and confidant Sidney Blumenthal recently concluded four years on the payroll, drawing $10,000 a month to help with research and “message guidance.”

Good work aside, this is a scam. When you find out where the money came from, especially from foreign governments who later received favorable contract or rulings from the state department when she was secretary that makes me not trust her. Trump is not my ideal candidate and he says some stupid things and has no experience. I’d prefer that over what her experience brings. I think the server crap was just her fear of her quid pro quo scam being discovered.

Maybe I’m wrong and she is a saint and all of this is just haters trying to stop the greatest woman of my lifetime from fulfilling her destiny. Truth is, she will probably win, there are more democrats than republicans and Trump seems to enjoy throwing gasoline and lit matches on any positive relationships he makes with the republican establishment when he probably needs them.

This is why I hate politics. I hope I answered your question. I know all or most politicians take contributions from special interests who expect something in return, but I think she’s on another level altogether. I assure you I do not dislike her because she is a woman, if you’ve read any of my writings over the last decade I love women, especially those with a few extra curves on them, she’s in my wheelhouse and trumps entourage contains mostly those who are too skinny for my tastes despite their beauty . Sorry, I can’t help closing a diatribe any other way, that’s how I roll. (once again, misogynistic closing statement for entertainment purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the author, especially the Hillary in my wheelhouse part. Personality still trumps physical appearance even for a scoundrel like me.)

[temeculaguy]

[quote=zk][quote=temeculaguy] I’ll vote for anyone but Hillary.[/quote]

Now, temeculaguy, you’ve always seemed like a pretty enlightened, reasonable guy. I’m really curious why you hate Hillary so much. And I want you to be honest with yourself and picture her as a man and see if you hate her so much. If she held the same policy positions she does now, and had basically the same personality she does now, but was a man, would you hate her so much? Would you vow to vote for anybody but her, even if that anybody was an immature, narcissistic, ignorant lunatic who poses a real and serious threat to the safety and prosperity of this country?

Do you really think that he would be a better president than her, or are you letting some vague, primordial hatred for her get in the way of a reasonable and responsible vote?[/quote]

In all honesty I didn’t start out in Trump’s camp. I started out in the “anyone but Hillary or Cruz camp.” I liked Kasich, Bernie, the Doc (but he occasionally perplexed me with his wackiness, but his middle east refugee plan was so good it made me overlook things). I was okay with Christie, Fiorina and Rubio. But still all of them would get my vote in the end if they faced Hillary or Cruz. Huckabee is hard to hate but he was initially in that “anyone but” category as was rand paul who’s easy to hate. Here’s the reason why, none of it is race or gender. I do not like politicians who are overly religious and I do not like those who are on the take. Cruz and Huckabee are way too religious even though the country is not. To me, that is akin to Sharia law but from a different book. I’d prefer a president who believes in a higher power but only goes to a church to be respectful (funerals, weddings, etc.) but not actually think any religious texts with a questionable chain of evidence to be similar to a penal code or a technical manual. I don’t want them to start taking the word “god” off our currency and monuments but only because they respect history and not religion.

at the 7 minute mark the Noah part is hilarious, but I’d prefer my leader sees religion as something that’s a nice thing for those that enjoy it but not part of the government that is supposed to be by and for the people when most people don’t take it that seriously. I’m cool with a higher power, but I have issues with hardcore religious leaders regardless of which religion.

So here we are, why not Hillary? My guess if it ended up Cruz vs Bernie nobody would accuse me of bias if I supported Bernie, which in that scenario I would. But it irritates me to my very soul that I get attacked because it’s Trump vs. Hillary. That is playing the woman card in the worst sense of card playing. I didn’t hear that when I voted for Obama over her (to be honest I think it was a done deal by the time we voted in California but I still never heard it in earlier contests because he is part black). It’s only an issue because Trump is a white guy and that irritates me beyond belief.

The main reason I do not like her is the Clinton foundation and her personal wealth at what I believe is at the expense of the American people. 10 million from the Saudis and soon after they get an arms sales deal. Money from China, from wall street. I’m okay with it on a certain level but she won’t own it, she chooses to shame others for similar actions. I’m okay with prostitutes, but I’m not okay if they criticize other prostitutes. That’s Hillary. Plus she’s a rotten role model for women, one of which I raised. Thankfully the one I raised is a Bernie fan and looks at Hillary like an alien from another planet when she hears the story of Hillary’s marriage. I wish Bernie hadn’t waited until two days ago to bring up Hillary’s money and the Clinton foundation, then it would be Bernie vs. Trump and we would have some meaningful discussions. Or if it had been Kasich vs. bernie and I could feel everything would be okay. But it’s not, so it’s Trump or its one of the people I dislike the most, male or female and that’s why tomorrow, Trump gets my vote and he will not destroy the world and I’m optimistic that he will improve it. I believe Jack Nicholson said it in a Batman movie, “This town needs an enema.”

To confuse you more, I am pro abortion, pro moderate gun control (for assault weapons ban, against open carry), pro gay marriage, pro socialized medicine, anti-world police, pro wall at the border, pro better background checks for immigrants from muslim countries, anti sharia law, pro immigration from Mexico, pro deportation of violent or sexual offenders from any country, pro death penalty. I like France’s stance on the Hijab being banned in public schools, you can come here but leave that shit at the door, assimilate or get out. So you cannot put me into a box, I fit no party, I fit no stereotype. I have relatives that are of Arabic and African American decent, including a Muslim relative who I adore. I also think Black Lives Matters does more harm than good for African Americans because they usually defend the very people that prey on their own community. I especially think the anti-trump rioters and protesters are hurting their cause and are being entirely anti free speech. I was also on the other side of the border Saturday giving money to the Haitians, but I still want thorough background checks before they are let in. Charity and sympathy are good, but due diligence is also good. To quote an Arab saying “have trust in Allah, but tie up your camel.”

But here’s the thing, I know some of my stances have given many readers cause to dismiss my opinion, I’m sure a few of them have. I’ve been accused of being a populist but I have never understood why populism is bad, it means it is popular. By the people, for the people, even of you think you are better than the people. Now if we can just get Trump to pick Bernie as VP, this will work out just fine because neither are really democrats or republicans and I’m not a fan of either party so it’s a dream ticket for me. Think of it like fantasy sports, you get that team’s quarterback and that other team’s running back. But it’s called fantasy sports for a reason because it;s not real and I understand that.However my fantasy team does not have Hillary on it and it is not because she is a woman, my fantasy team would be nothing but women because it’s my fantasy (misogynistic and sexual innuendo for entertainment purposes only, and of course because I found it amusing) .

[temeculaguy]

I’ve said it back when there were almost 20 candidates, I’ll vote for anyone but Hillary. I have a fairly diverse group of people in my world and oddly enough all of the Hispanics and all of the women I know hate her with a passion, each for their own personal reasons. Everyone under 25, including my own offspring are Bernie fans. But none of them identify as democrats, just Bernie fans. While they dislike all of the various republicans at some point, they despise Hillary.

I think this will be important, Bernie and Hillary are not two different personalities espousing the same philosophy, they are entirely different. The more i see her on television, the less I like her. And I voted for Obama twice and I love women and really want a woman to be president in my lifetime. I’m just really disappointment that the only two women to make the “final four” in recent years were Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton. I know some women personally who would be better suited for the job and these have to be two of the worst possible choices that it amazes me that people who do this for a living actually helped pick them.

[temeculaguy]

I’m not a big fan of Cabo because of the landscape. I have relatives who have had a second home in Puerto Vallarta for decades and love it. For a vacation Zihuatanejo is a fave but I see how PV offers more for ownership and part time/full time living. I’ve always seen Cabo as a cruise ship stop good for a few hours, not much more. But my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt, I see all of Mexico as a great vacation spot, not an investment. But then again, my other half is of Mexican heritage, speaks Spanish and I still have to coax her to even go on vacation there. But then again she doesn’t have a romantic view of her ancestral home like others might, she owns not one Mexican flag. She reminds me regularly that her ancestors fled Mexico for multiple reasons, none of which have changed. Why would she want to go back for more than a few days except in a secluded resort. Dial up internet is also cheaper, I don’t see people rushing to buy those 14400 baud modems. I love visiting, but I wouldn’t buy property there. My Mexican future wife would kill me.

I don’t have a perfect diet, i binge on average a couple of times a month, sweets. I eat a lot of good stuff though, I think I have my macros figured our more or less for me. I don’t eat much of the worst stuff other than your regular desert item here and there, or drink non-nutritive beverages much, sodas, or alcohol.[/quote]

Food cravings is cultural. Many cultures don’t like sweets like cakes. My friends from Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand (the tropics where there are delicious fruits) prefer eating mango, durian, lychees…. over a chocolate lava cake for desert.

Tropical Latin America is different because of the heavy western food from Portugal and Spain.

Japanese cakes/pastries are unsweet and light compared to American cakes. There is Japanese bakery on Convoy. Real Japanese sushi does not use the heavy mayonnaise type sauce that Americans like. When the food is natural you can taste the quality of the ingredient and the skill in preparation better.

So it helps to be an internationalist elitist (I’m reclaiming the word) and study different cultures. Adapt what is best as your own. That’s what we as Americans do best.[/quote]

You are internationally full of yourself! Missed the point. It works pretty good for me! You are blinded by your elitism if you don’t see moderation as being as possible in US terms as in Asian or any other cultural terms. That we have more bad available may or may not be something to argue. Doesn’t matter if you don’t use too much of it.[/quote]

Blogstar that was beautiful!!! I never speak what I think in these conversations lately because I have too many other interests in life these days to properly monitor the threads and defend a well placed barb (like many of those aforementioned countries regularly dine on what we consider pets or pests). I’ve deleted before posting more than I’ve posted lately for this very reason, so thank you for saying what I was thinking.

Perhaps I’m emboldened because Trump just locked up the nomination, non PC is safe for a few weeks, but lets not make this political. I’m going to vent for a moment, so prepare yourself. I buy organic, free range, grain fed, kosher, etc. not because of health or environment or sustainability or any other of the hippy reasons. I choose those things for taste. Head to head, line caught wild salmon or organic free range chicken tastes better. If waterboarded, tortured chicken tasted better, I’d buy that but it doesn’t. I get all self loathing in the store when I spend six bucks for a loaf of bread or $20 for two pieces of fish because it beats the hell out of processed food when it comes to eating it. I applaud BG for being healthy and thrifty, I can’t do it, the good stuff costs more usually and after about age 45, processed food gives me a stomach ache and makes me feel bad.

So mark me down for one of those guys who hates the ideology of the Flyerhi types, who wants to claim that third world countries have it right and we are wrong. Of course their lifestyle is better, But make no mistake their lifestyle is not a choice, hand them a winning lottery ticket and they will have diabetes in six months. So here I am, a Trump fan, who gives not one shit about the environment or animal welfare, hates rapid transit and urban dwellers and I hate myself that i have to admit that organic, free range chicken tastes better. My $7 a dozen eggs who are held and loved daily just taste better. And if you get in the way of my daily kombucha tea that costs me $3, I’ll point one of my many guns at you.

I’ll now fade back into obscurity because my own dichotomy disgusts me. But the fact remains, farmed salmon and processed chicken tastes like shit, Oh god I hate that i wrote this and didn’t delete it. I bet that I’m not alone, do it, drop $20 on two breasts of organic chicken, you’ll never go back.

[quote=FlyerInHi]Cut it down and plant a native oak[/quote]

True that! Eucs are an invasive scourge, even UC Berkely recommends eliminating them and replacing them with native trees (native oaks are fireproof, while eucs are firebombs).

http://abc7news.com/news/officials-urge-removal-of-eucalyptus-from-berkeley-oakland-hills/324916/

When UC Berkeley encourages the killing of a specific tree, that is akin to anti-death penalty people saying “we hate the death penalty but kill this guy” then you know he’s a bad guy.

There have been theories that the red gum lurp psylliad that was killing off the Eucs was intentionally brought to California by environmental activists.
