Posted By: alibabble on 7/15/2009 758 AM wha? Well, the maps were drawn long ago and many men and women have lost their lives for those little lines so I'm gonna go with that. Society is drawn to order and maps are part of that order. Heck, I'm all for Northern Cali breaking off from us "southerners" if they want to. It's just the promise of the ensuing political and economic chaos that gives me pause. Maybe it will happen one day, but it will be done legally. You Sacramento people had better have your passports in order if'n you want to visit Disneyland. Cali is a state of mind. do wha, do wha.... We have yahoo/google/apple/facebook/tesla and others up here. I think we'll do ju$t fine by our lonesomes - Northern Cali state.

Yes, I've heard of a few places that are like what San Diego used to be....and perhaps it's that piece of our "old home we knew" and yet something all together new that we find our homes......It makes me sick to my stomach to watch more and more hillsides get torn up, old buildings and old homes to make way for more condos....meanwhile there's a water shortage.....but the holy dollar rules before sanity and reason. It's easy to see making more housing here means more people will move here which means you need more water...yet there you have it........I'm stuck here for another 10 years for sure since my son is here, but I'm not too sure about the future beyond that. My childhood memories are of nothing of the monster this place is now....yeah, the weather is great and I love the ocean and nowhere is perfect.....I suppose it could be worse if we weren't fortunate enough to have Camp Pendleton between San Diego and Orange county, if we didn't have the other military bases like Miramar and North Island......I'm sure there would be housing all over there and more of a traffic nightmare.....otherwise it would be more housing and worse!!

To comment on Kendra's first comment....In California things go 100 mph it seems and people seem in a hurry constantly, stress probably being the main reason why people are the way they are here....I've been here for 42 yrs and the state has obviously grown but also there are alot of "me" people around too, more then say the midwest? a theory anyways.... it seems once your getting cut off in traffic constantly or the sales people at the stores acting like asses all the time or whatever the case may be it tends to be contagious...if your a nice person it doesn't matter where you live, I just think its the culture out here.....and to think my friend from NY seems to think we are soft out here :-) I just think everyone is focused on doing their own thing in California, probably sometimes to a fault...with that said I won't be moving anytime soon.
