Thread: Victor Davis Hanson: Two Californias

Maybe some of us Californians need a new career. Like producing a documentary. We could get together and start touring and filming these sites.

What makes me really mad is I just built a new 30x40 shop/garage in San Joaquin County and they have a ordinance that all of your total outbuildings cannot have more square footage than your house. So we cannot get a final until we demo another outbuilding and we had to have a permit for demo which cost $120.00. Another example of a double standard.

It has been my contention for some time that at least an hour long documentary needs to be produced and aired in prime time television, exposing the conditions in the article posted by Mayday. Moving across the U.S., I doubt you could cram the destruction in an hour of this once great country by illegal aliens. California is probably the worst scenario, but these neighborhoods are being played out across the U.S......A documentary would bring reality to the nation of this grave situation.
Just remember who benefits from the attempt to save fish by stopping irrigation in California. None other thean Pelosi's husband who is a mucky muck with Starkist.

What you cannot see, feel or hear, you cannot respond to.

It's not California, but hell it happening everywhere faster than people think!

I miss Ol' Marquis and the blue and white!
He is always fun to hang with!

As much as I liked that video I was disappointed to see Marquis is now trying to make money off his site. JMO

He's probably to busy packing and looking for a new place to live to notice.

That was a good article. The author was both honest and objective, yet the story lacks a larger reality as the bicycle and his limited routing covers a small area even though it goes from one side of the valley to the other. The San Joaquin Valley is huge. Just a guess, 300 miles long by 100 wide at some points?

I have traveled much of that valley. As an old farm boy one could get jealous by the fertile soils and the everlasting sunshine and growing conditions. Then.....reality strikes, it is California, the taxes, politics, and the PC attitudes are a bit much for some farm boys. I wish those the best that are trying to save their state. It is a beautiful state,...but time is ticking.

Anyone ever been to Huron in the valley? This is a border town 350 miles north of the border.

A documentary should be done. Even it would be limited in scope compared to the realities of size.

If I can figure out how to post pictures then I could add some clarity to the water problems in the western regions of the valley.
