1\. I was raised in CA until I was 9. Then moved to CT. It was a nice place to grow up because of the physical beauty and climate - which allowed me to play outside constantly. I hated Connecticut once I moved their, it was much more materialistic than California and I found it to be a culture shock. In CA we played outdoors, in CT everyone wanted to do things inside: video games and TV. People were very materialistic and snobby. The city Greenwich did not help matters though. Wanting to be somewhere that is beautiful isn't a sin. Though the prices of homes and living in CA is outrages. So those who move there now must have a lot of money. Love of money is more the factor in determining the evil. It's one thing to have money, but to love it above all else leads to many wrongs. As far as the whole Hollywood and San Francisco vibe, well, I think famous actors and homo lifestyle. I've never been interested in either. I couldn't care less about celebrities. I think very little of them. The type of people that go to LA seeking fame are I think what you are referring to as very materialistic and superficial. They must be willing to whore themselves out to rich Jews to get good positions.   
  
There is something to be said about warm beautiful climates and crime though. There is actually a study showing heat and crime being related. I also think that in places with nice weather, people show skin more. Which creates lust. But that is mostly Southern California. There are some nice conservative places in Northern California where there is less heat, less people and everything is more rural. Wine country.   
  
My parents didn't want me and my sister to be raised in California though. And I wonder if I would have turned out less introverted if had stayed in California. I don't know whether it was the age and having friends from birth in CA, but I feel like as soon as I moved time kind of stopped and all the sudden I became aware of living life looking from the outside in once I moved to CT. I also was rather depressed, especially at first having lost friends and finding it hard to make friends in snobby Greenwich. Greenwich had a very materialistic culture too. I remember this kid whose dad was a banker making fun of me because my dad was an airline pilot. Very silly. If I knew what I knew about usury then as I do now I would have had a better response than I did.   
  
2\. Liberal states (with their high taxes) all have serious issues of homelessness and CA is very liberal. Despite acting like they care about poor people, they have a way of being run down by homelessness and unable to effect decisions that actually helps homeless people. I live in Colorado and ever since COVID the amount of homeless people is insane. Yet taxes here are crazy. Our infrastructure sucks, we don't even have trains to the airport or to Denver, so where does the $$$ go to??? I think part of the Homeless epidemic has to do with drugs and the closing down of mental institutions. Even drugs like pot can push someone who is susceptible to schizophrenia over the edge into a full on psychotic break. A lot of homeless people should be in institutions because they aren't right in the head. Half of homeless people are talking to themselves and in a totally different world. Homeless people also can be addicted to gambling or prostitution and unable to control their spending. I think drugs can lead people to possession. In the case of Manson and family, they were definitely possessed by evil spirits, or just downright psychotic. I have no compassion for any of the people who did those things, they all deserve life sentences. There is the possibility though that something like MK-Ultra was performed on them, using LSD. I'll leave it at that until you get to later chapters. But still, they put themselves in the situation to take the drugs around Manson who clearly looks insane so still, very bad judgement.
