With the way it is being governed, it is just a place to visit not live in, even as a tourist destination its going downhill with the problems of crime and homeless people

Aye homelessness is really becoming a big problem I noticed from LA all the way to sanfo. Its also a big sanitation issue. Why pay the high cost of rent when they  can live on the streets free and continue to receive free welfare money to feed their drug habits, no?

Been here multiple times for vacation. Every year it just gets worse. Not tourist-friendly anymore. Lots of crime and violence.

Lived in Cali, but choose without question the Philippines.

Went to the Cali on Mar last year:

- Landed in SF, spent a couple of days near the Fisherman's Wharf: seafood, GG and Alcatraz Tour, tram to Union Square, Chinatown, City Hall.

- Picked up a rental, went to Palace of Fine Arts, then GG Bridge Welcome Center, then drove across the GG Bridge to the Charles Schulz (creator of Snoopy) Museum in Santa Rosa.

- Drove down to Silicon Valley and stayed for a night.  Drove around and went to the Google campus and Apple HQ, then went to the Computer History Museum.

- Wanted to stop by Monterey Bay Aquarium on the way to LA, but it will be closed by the time I get there, so I just continued to LA.

- Arrived in LA and went to the Griffith Observatory.  Went to a clinic because I got a head cold and needed some meds. Stayed the night at a hotel near Pinoytown in Temple.  Had kikiam, fishballs, bituka, and other turo-turo at Dollar Hits.

- Went and checked-in at the Disney Hotel, returned the rental because I'll be in Disney for 5 days where I disney'd the fuck out of Disneyland:  Star Wars, Marvel, Cars, food, rides, the whole she-bang.  Had a priority ticket so I can skip the lines. 

- Even 5 days is not enough but I had to say goodbye to Mickey and Grogu.  So got another rental.

- Drove to Joshua Tree National Park, Route 66, Mojave Dessert, and then onwards to Las Vegas.

- On the way, because I'm a big Fallout New Vegas fan, stopped by Searchlight, Primm, Goodsprings and Hoover Dam.

- After that.. Vegas baby!!

For that part you can see my post on the Las Vegas thread.  But that's my 2023 Cali adventure.  I booked motels or hotels on the fly, just picking the one where I'm in the general area at.  Used Expedia a lot.  The only hotel that I booked before hand was the one in SF when I landed and the Disney Hotel (and the hotels in Vegas).
