Disagree. But there is no need to quantify my 43 years life experience living in all parts of this country on an internet forum.
There is an endless stream of unlicensed &/or out of state license plates present in the most economically vibrant, diverse & growing-est part of the country in which I reside. Those entitled & unlicensed, often self-righteous & proud people come here fleeing an absence of opportunity & economic stagnation in their home state/region.
Refugees from Texas.
Refugees from Alabama.
Refugees from Mississippi.
Refugees from Kansas.
Refugees from the Dakotas.
Refugees from Wyoming.
Refugees from Montana.
All unlicensed vehicles with expired tabs I saw on a 15 mile drive around town this morning.
Where the tax dollars flow is a matter of public record & there is no need to quantify who carries who & who has no idea the socialism they are on the receiving end of. Doing so will quickly take this thread to P&R never to return. It really doesn't matter.
Let's leave this as is & just agree that for the most part that yes, California sucks, it isn't particularly exceptional in it's deviation from the mean.
People are people & we have a real problem looking at ourselves in the mirror.
