I'd like to see reactions I live to upset people from Massachusetts. silence_kit posted:I'm not sure if there really is a California equivalent to Camden, NJ. Camden has incredible poverty and is incredibly run down and depressed. If we're talking hopelessly economically depressed, you might consider Mendota/Firebaugh/Coalinga. I suggested Delano because it's a major location of gang activity, far beyond its small size. Obviously there's not a precise equivalence to Camden, land use patterns and population density are totally different between those parts of the country.

Well, there is lots of work to be had in the Westlands Water District, and the work is essential to the American empire, but the work is underpaid and brutal. The people of Camden have just been thrown away.

Camden has incredible poverty and is incredibly run down and depressed. there's been poo poo tons of white flight in the bay area, if what you mean is "white people fleeing as minorities show up" however there was not economic devastation at the same scale as the rust belt obviously, because the Bay Area has a diverse economy and has been a huge magnet for asian and latin american immigration (which was one of the things that caused the white flight to begin with, along with all the black dockworkers moving here from the south during WWII), which helped to offset and then eventually reverse the population loss caused by the postwar exodus of whiteys to the suburbs

Rah! posted:there's been poo poo tons of white flight in the bay area, if what you mean is "white people fleeing as minorities show up" That's not really why people say white flight is a bad thing though. If white people are the root of all evil, wouldn't white people leaving an area be a good thing? Usually the reason why people say white flight is a bad thing has more to do with how when white people left many cities in America, they took the local economies & government tax revenues with them, leaving minorities in poverty. But this is not really what happened in Fremont California. In fact, the opposite happened. White people left Fremont, and the city became richer.

For those wondering why Musk has chosen now of all times to flip out, it's because he just managed to boost Tesla's stock ahead of today's earnings call last Friday by reassuring investors that manufacturing would all be back to 100% as soon as the SiP ended on May 3rd. Then the very next Monday the Bay Area SiP got extended

I had a job that managed to get myself fired out of and they paying a penalty for firing me, its not impossible but if you don't know the workplace that you are at cliques, who they relate with, politics can be difficult.

I mean, plenty of orchards are also owned by hedge funds based in NY. It's my pet theory as to why tree-topping is as common as it is in orchards, even though it's understood to significantly damage the long-term productivity of lots of tree crops (that is to say, the yearly savings on not paying for proper pruning is more appropriate when an orchard is an asset in a complex portfolio that might be traded away soon, as opposed to when the orchard is understood to be a 30 year investment on the part of a small-to-medium farm operation).

Sundae posted:I thought they were closed. They’re kinda closed for leisure activity, like if you wanted to go jogging on the beach or take a hike on a local trail to get some exercise that was generally ok. But then it got hot and a bunch of people flocked to the beaches so whoops, now it’s officially on lockdown.

Mountain View Cemetery (in Oakland) was open for the first few weeks of the lockdown, but was closed when I drove by today. I'm surprised they didn't close it down earlier, it was packed every time I looked

A most of cities closed their beaches, so it wasn't really necessary until OC reopened their beaches last weekend. Other places had closed the parking lots, and only allowed access for walking/jogging

Infinite Karma posted:FYI, all California beaches are legally public property due to the California Coastal Act of 1976. Private properties adjacent to the beach are required to allow easements to allow everyone access to beaches. Anyone who claims to have a private beach (lots of wealthy assholes and resorts do) is full of poo poo and openly flouting the law. Private beaches blew my mind when I moved to the east coast.

Wicked Them Beats posted:Führer Newsom is at it again! This is frustrating. I've been taking my dog to the beach in San Francisco and people have been really very good about social distancing here. Masks on, wide distance between people as they walk, etc. Oh well, I understand why Gavbot has to do it this way. Thanks OC.

Where in California are you that is going to allow this (end Shelter in Place soon)? I don't know. I think Gavin is going to lean Right on this one and will consider you resigning from your job and cut you off.
