California....NOT what it used to be....

Remember when California was considered the best place to go?  The best weather, pretty people, palm trees, gorgeous beaches etc?  Everyone saw California on the TV and immediately wished they could live here!!...Well its all a lie people.  Its a lie.  Unless you are a person of a wealthier stature, then California is for the SHITS.  I kid you not.  California has become the dumping ground for complete CRAP.  Los Angeles...most of it is nasty.  They don't show you that on the TV.  Usually on the TV they show you parts of Beverly Hills or upper class neighborhoods that make everything look so darned awesome!  But the reality is...most of Southern California is smog infested....we can BARELY even see the mountains...the public school system sucks..you have to worry about whether your child will actually learn something or whether he'll come home having been harrassed by other kids all day.  The schools are overcrowded, everything is chaos.  My child is only 3 and in a WONDERFUL daycare where he learns alot from a wonderful lady who is a retired school teacher.  I want to get out of California before my child becomes school age.  I want him to grow up in a HOUSE that we can actually AFFORD, in a nice neighborhood with other kids, a nice school where he learns the things he needs to learn.  A place where we don't have to Upper Class just to own something nice.  A place where people actually look at you and maybe even speak to you...a porch, a backyard...maybe even 4 seasons.  Is this too much to ask?  California has become in my opinion one of THE most horrid places in all of the U.S. with a FAILING economy that has very little chance of recovering itself in this decade.  Its so hard to be able to just pick up and move though....finding work, finding a place to live...most people won't hire you over the phone...yet there is no way of moving unless you first secure a job in another place...at least that is how I feel.  I'm not keen on the idea of moving with nothing waiting.  I have to have secured a job with benefits before I can uproot my family.  But I shall keep on viewing the possibilities out there....

Anyone out there in Blogville LOVE where they live??  If so, tell me about it...
