Reply #25: It's a zoo here [View All]

too crowded for me (among other things) I was born and raised in So Cal which is very different from Northern Cal. No wide open spaces anymore, a very right-winged county, not much for liberal thinkers, and I am not happy with the legal system here.

Recently I was defrauded of a large sum of money by a corporation (of course) and the CA Attorney General consumer section will do nothing about it because "they're understaffed" They can't even enforce their own laws! The truth is that they pick and choose who they want to help or not. My "nest egg" is gone and I have no money for a lawyer, let alone other things. There is just NO HELP here.

I've realized that the present GOP administration has set the stage for corporate fraud to be acceptable, which is why I have come to this board.

This is not the only unjust situation that's happened for me here, there is more, which is the reason I got dragged back down here a few years ago (used to live in Oregon, Washington, and Canada) I guess I've become very jadeded (and somewhat bitter)

I have been in other places which have a better quality of life than this smoggy, very expensive place. I would like to move, but my boyfriend's kids are here, living with their mom, so I don't know how he would feel about moving very soon, and my kid has made friends here. I would like to get out of Dodge.

The only chance I would ever have to buy a home would be somewhere less expensive. I wouldn't want to buy anything here in concrete land anyway. I enjoy nature, the outdoors, and much cooler weather. Here I'm like a fish out of water.
