#1 an isolated coastal compound of elite rulers physically cut off from its interior peasantry.

So, it's Mexico with a view, Alta California. Once again the Freudian projection of the Left. They enjoy the Patron system.

#2 I always thought it was the smart people who live on the coast. I still do. Sorry, but I like jogging on the beach, surfing and sailing. I like that cool, moist feeling when the fog creeps over my house from the ocean. I don't like it when the weather gets too hot or too cold. Seventy degrees is just find, thank you very much. I don't need an air conditioner, I just open the windows and feel the ocean breeze. I paid the price. I struggled for years to get a toehold in that community. It was my ambition. I didn't care what kind of work I did as long as it was close enough to the ocean. It's not my fault that crooked politicians and developers over built the place. I always voted against them. Hey, once I got mine it was time to shut down all the rest of the housing developments. So we created this huge demand for all kinds of things; water, freeways, schools, hospitals, sewers and electricity just to name the most obvious. You ever been to Bakersfield? Delano? Hemet? San Bernadino? Salinas? They're not all that nice. Why anyone would want to live there is beyond me. I think if I had to live that far inland I'd just as soon be in Kansas.

#3 California, and what it is descending into, is the clear product of the one-party rule that the Democrat party is seeking for all of the US. Everything about the immigration policy of this administration, and the treason they commit in non-enforcement of laws they swore to enforce, is about importing people to vote for them in return for stuff and money. Our birthright and the bounty our forefathers created for us is being stolen right in front of our eyes. And the current generation has no idea what is being lost forever for them and their children.

These people cannot afford CPAs or Tax Atrnys -They work their asses off as farmers, field hands, firemen, cops, teachers, small buisness owners. And as opposed to the coastal elite they pay their fair of taxes, be whatever the rate might be. Most of these folks are second, third, fourth generation in these towns and it is their home. No they are not all illegal aliens. You should thank god these people exist so you can eat. Sorry but we all do not get a Pacific Ocean view. You are a typical NIMBY coastal elite. Got a gardener (illegal), twice a week maid (illegal), kids go to private school? Move to Kansas - we move to Kansas you starve, cause you cannot live on the three MJ medical plants you have growing on the condo's Pacific view balcony.

#5 Chater, my comment was designed to provoke you exactly that way. The point is, the money and the numbers and the political power are all in San Francisco and coastal southern California. The elites are there for precisely the reasons I mentioned. They don't care about you. They'll eat something, believe me. Lobster will do and they drink Evian or Perrier when they're not drinking wine so they won't get thirsty either.

I myself am not an elite. Maybe I sounded like it but I'm not. Yes, I like the coast. But I am a lowly computer programmer. It ain't physical like farming but that doesn't mean it isn't hard. I work my ass off too, the commute is a nightmare and then they tax the hell out of me. Our maid is legal and I mow my own yard (at least in back, the HOA takes care of the front, sorry about that but I have no control over it). Hell, I stopped eating at Jack in the Box because none of the employees speak English. The illegals you mention are very disturbing to me too. They are a huge part of the problem. But you hire them to work on the farm, don't you?

I never voted for any of the creeps that run this place. I remember when it was a lot nicer than it is now. From my perspective they have ruined it. It is way too crowded. They knew there would be droughts but they were too busy making money on all the stick and stucco housing tracts they built to care. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. The lawns are going Brown, the crops are dying and the fields are dust. But if the boys in the hood get thirsty they'll riot and that would be inconvenient.
