Why, oh, why would I move out of Los Angeles??? Here's why.

[Steeltime]

The city - CITY, mind you, not County - has a proposed budget of $9.9 BILLION. BILLION.

But hey, these ******** are spending money for roads, and sewers, and things that matter to the taxpayers, right? Yeah, no.

$148 million for roads. $430 million for the homeless. $2 billion for retirement funds.

No, I'm not ******** you. Three times as much for the homeless as repairing the roads, and 12 times as much for pensions as road repairs.

**** this place. The countdown clock is ticking, *******, and I am out of here in a matter of weeks. Oh, and I'm taking my tax revenues with me. Hey, maybe the city gets a few more homeless and illegals to boost those tax revenues, ehh??

9.9 Billion.

I shudder to think what the rest will be wasted on.

I don't even like to visit anymore, let alone live there

For some perspective, on a per capita basis, isn’t LA’s budget about 1/5th of the Federal budget’s per capita of $12,000?

Damn!
I see why my wife's family left that place a long time ago

I would move back to South Cali in a heartbeat, just have to reduce the population to under 500,000.

The question is not why would you move out, it's why do you live there in the first place? Fun place to visit but I can't imagine living there.

But at least they're getting their streets painted white.
