It's true. California doesn't extend beyond East LA and the Tenderloin District in San Francisco. If you go to those two places, you've seen the entire state and the collective mindset of all 40+ million people.

True statement. Nobody cares about Fresno and Bakersfield....much like Bozo and all areas of Montana east of the divide.

:lol: Seriously, though, it's always funny when people from back home think all of California looks like bad scenes from LA they saw on cable news at 2:30pm. It's even better when they think everyone thinks the same in a place bigger than they can comprehend. "Oh, California? So you must love Newsom." It's like, Uncle Ted, you haven't left Rathdrum since 1998.
Born and raised north of Sacramento, with plenty of relatives still there. I guarantee most of them are not big fans of the current state of the state (to say the least). But they have no hope of out-voting the big cities. One (not actually funny) point: Consider the case of the poor smuck who raises almonds (one of many crops that I once helped gather). Even the yuppies think that slivered almonds are cool and elegant over their trout (almost exclusively farm raised ... so forget it). But the growers were suddenly demonized because their crop uses a lot of water.CDAGRIZ said::lol: Seriously, though, it's always funny when people from back home think all of California looks like bad scenes from LA they saw on cable news at 2:30pm.

Another old (very old) California non-joke: Don't laugh if you suddenly see a "Los Angeles City Limits" sign along the road ... not funny, they're after your water. (Some may understand: My mom once did a class project paper about how the demand for water in Los Angeles turned most of the Owens Valley into a near-desert.)
