If you like Dim sum check out din tai fung at century city. One of my "must hit" places when I'm in LA. That's weird about you guys an edibles. I can buzz on 10mg gummies.

And dim sum, yes! Thanks bud.
gtg before i have to move to virginia in july, tbh
Here in Cali on business trip. Looks like state is prospering.
Yet.. it is run by Democrats.
Tell me again how badly the state is doing with its gy ass liberal balanced budget and all...?
Wait a minute, doesn't that mean that rich job creators are creating jobs for erryone?
Pick a lane geenyus.
Awful. Live here and give me a valid opinion. Tell me why the wealth gap continually widens and our public education is abysmal and why our crime rates continue to grow while only the elite and the politicians continue to prosper here.
But det balanced budget and surplus tho, right? Glad to know your cushy trip gave you such a robust understanding of what's going on here.
As a former resident of southern CA (late 80's), I left because of the high cost of living.

California adopts new wetlands rules to protect them from Trump rollbacks
California regulators voted Tuesday to strengthen state safeguards for thousands of wetlands and streams that are about to lose federal protections in a Trump administration rollback of the Clean Water Act.
Nearly 90% of California’s historic wetlands have been filled in or plowed under, and the state has said it is vital to preserve what remains.
The new state rules will insulate California from Washington’s efforts to drop regulations that prevent the destruction of isolated wetlands and seasonal streams.

Trump administration unveils major Clean Water Act rollback rump administration unveils major Clean Water Act rollback
The Trump administration unveiled its plan Tuesday for a major rollback of the Clean Water Act, a blueprint drawn up at the behest of
farm groups,
real estate developers and
other business interests
that would end federal protections on thousands of miles of streams and wetlands.
the Obama-era rule that put those waters under the protection of the Clean Water Act “further expanded Washington’s reach into privately owned lands.”
“They claimed it was in the interest of water quality, but it was really about power,” Wheeler said. “Power in the hands of the federal government over landowners.”

public schools are underfunded. we spend less than the national average per student. our teacher/student ratio is poor. administrators (principals, superintendents) are overpaid. california's public education is middle of the pack in the country, though, so i dont think "abysmal" is fair. of course, that doesnt factor in the university system. the UC system is the best public university system in the country. the big areas have good community colleges too
the biggest issue here is housing/rent cost, at least in the big cities. and thats a large part due to unnecessary building regulations that are preventing people from building much needed apartment complexes as opposed to single family homes. the big cities are way to populated for the amount of single family homes. then theres a shortage in space which causes rent to skyrocket.
Agree 100%
California education system might be average but the high schools do tend to offer the most AP courses to students outside of the U.S. Northeast.
As far as housing and traffic go, they're awful in LA/SV/SF areas. What's going to happen is, in order to achieve any reasonably priced rental spaces, there's going to be a lot of apartment complexes located 30+ miles from all the jobs because of the SFH houses taking up most of the prime real estate. That's inevitably going to make living quality, commutes and traffic worse.
My son lives in Culver City and it blew my mind how much he had to pay for a 2000sf fixer upper.
Our public schooling, k-12, is bottom 5 to bottom 10 depending where you look.
I agree, the college system is fantastic.

CA does rank last in high school graduation, bachelors degree %, and higher degree % (though those are all just liberal indoctrination camps)
WSJ has them at 40. But, yeah, most lower 3rd. Not good for a state government that always touts "Det Surplus" and "Det GDP" that also has a wealth gap widening as it is.
I don't understand how you blame a state for wealth gap.
Not everybody had convict leasing until the 1940s. Not everybody had civil rights until the 1960s. Some people still don't.
People are saying other people either don't deserve rights or don't deserve to be treated like they do. The theme of cruelty towards the stranger preponders.
Now that we've have second-class consitutional rights for non-whites for a generation or two they should show us a little more class, right?
Just moved to LA... you really can’t beat the weather here, tbh, IMO
