Ferguson is nothing compaired to the LA riots I was there for. they distroyed the liquor store the was on the other side of the alley from where I was living, not to mention what they did to that poor truck driver! The beaches are dirty, water is so poluted that you shouldn't be in the ocean most of the time. Compared to where I vacation, the beaches in CA are disgusting! If you want, give me your email, and I'll send pics of a good beach, so you can compare. If you have $800,000 to buy an average house in the LA area, more power to you, but you couldn't pay me enough to move back to that hell hole!
