Hat tip to ‘Snake Plissken’ (loved Escape from NY but, Escape from L.A. – come on Snake!) regarding the ‘greater neighborhood.. Vallejo’ comment. I nearly spat my coffee on my monitor! What an armpit of a town..
The ‘diversity’ term is such a convoluted construct now. ‘Diversity’ to me is working, living next-to, conversing with like-minded educated professionals, dual parent, couples involved with our community, schools and attempt to improve every facet of said community. I could care less of your race, sexual preference etc.,
Progressive-speak ‘diversity’ equates to: low income, minority-only, uneducated masses who have a HANDOUT rather than being self-sufficient whose ONLY motivator is to take and have an influx of said moochers to their new digs. In essence, bringing everyone, everything down to their *iss poor idealism.
We lived in Santa Barbara in the early 00′s for Grad School reasons (the ONLY draw to the Golden State is its indefinite eligibility of college credits).
We figured a student adhering, expensive county like S.B. would bring safety and working professionals. Hey, it was also the vacation ranch of the late Ronald Reagan.. it can’t be too bad. Riiight.
Hispanic/Latino gangs, unlicensed illegals clogging, causing and fleeing accidents on the 101 and surrounding areas.
South Santa Barbara homes, though still VERY expensive are occupied by Section 8 vermin and their dozen family members, the public education system being a total joke, Hispanic and Latino teens terrorizing their fellow students, neighbors in a myriad of ways (2 of my neighbors were police officers and 1 married to a dispatcher..), stabbing or shooting (for some ‘odd’ reason these assaults ALWAYS occurred when the ‘nice’ Hispanic/Latino/Mexican youth was returning from church.. sometimes at 3 in the morning..!), high speed car chases the daily norm ad infinitum. Viva la progressivism.. yikes.
Couldn’t move quick enough. Didn’t even attend graduation, diploma sent via mail.
