Guest Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/solvable/solvable-podcast-series/homelessness-is-solvable/ I keep thinking about things discussed in this podcast in regards to homelessness. It's a shameful thing that we continue to allow such a state of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many sides to it, you can find what you like if you don't like some aspect of it. Not everything is Santa Monica bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I don't hate any state except for the one I live in. I have only been to like 6/50 states and the longest was a week in a different state. Hell, I spent more time in Canada than in 5/6 of those states.

The shitty part about LA is how fucking soul-crushing it can be to meet people (both friends and romantically) that you like who the traffic makes it impractical to see on any regular basis. Not that that should really affect how visitors feel about LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenTongue Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 So, my wife and I were high-school sweethearts who reconnected via Facebook about three years ago. She was living in LA, and I was (and am) in NYC. Once we'd reconnected, we spent about nine months doing the long-distance thing, with one of us flying cross-country one weekend/month, before we made the decision that it made the most sense for her to move out here. It did make the most sense, and she's acclimated well to NYC, but I'd be lying if I said that there wasn't a part of me that feels as though I should have moved out there and just worked on re-building a network there. The traffic sucks (like NYC), but unlike NYC, the traffic doesn't seem to cultivate the worst in people's aggressive driving tendencies.

NYC is awesome though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 @skillzdadirecta @2user1cup speaking of LA: I once played in a band that was offered a show in LA. None of us had ever been to CA at this point. We're picked up and keep driving and driving and driving...until we see the "Welcome To Compton" sign. Turns out the gig was in some fucked-up warehouse somewhere in Compton, the security being gangbangers with pitbulls at the front door. Then I somehow thought smoking a joint was a great idea to, you know, alleviate my paranoia. Nope. I've never played worse in my life, it was a trainwreck.

GeneticBlueprint Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Someone should just start one of those cults out in a rural area and pay homeless people to join and live on the compound/city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
