Hollywood Apocalypse NOW: Rich and famous are fleeing in droves as liberal politics and coronavirus turn City of Dreams into cesspit plagued by junkies and violent criminals

I know we have members suffering through this, my condolences.

 

Junkies and the homeless, many of whom are clearly mentally ill, walk the palm-lined streets like zombies – all just three blocks from multi-million-dollar homes overlooking the Pacific.

Stolen bicycles are piled high on pavements littered with broken syringes.

TV bulletins are filled with horror stories from across the city; of women being attacked during their morning jog or residents returning home to find strangers defecating in their front gardens. 

Today, Los Angeles is a city on the brink. 'For Sale' signs are seemingly dotted on every suburban street as the middle classes, particularly those with families, flee for the safer suburbs, with many choosing to leave LA altogether.

British-born Danny O'Brien runs Watford Moving & Storage. 'There is a mass exodus from Hollywood,' he says. 

'And a lot of it is to do with politics.' His business is booming. 'August has already set records and we are only halfway through the month,' he tells me. 

'People are getting out in droves. Last week I moved a prominent person in the music industry from a $6.5 million [£5 million] mansion above Sunset Boulevard to Nashville.'

Started to take the bait, but I won't.  

 

Still coming off of my migraine and I don't have it in me. It's also way too hot right now to deal with just about anything.

 I had heard of the power blackouts, stay safe.

There is no bait, just the fax, ma'am.

I'll come back and respond a little more fully when I feel up to it. A lot of what's in that article is no news at all, and some of it is BS. It certainly doesn't look like Haiti here. 

 

Being unwell when its's 90F on the beach is not fun.

It's only no news at all because it has been going on for a coupla decades.  Now it's just the norm.

Back in the late sixties there were a lot of riots in several big cities, and most of those entered a prolonged period of decline.  History tends to be cyclical, so this is fairly predictable.

Should force them to stay. You don't get to escape and turn the next place into trash, you stay there and deal with it. I, for one, have had enough of these smarmy rich dbags skirting the consequences.

As soon as I can function outside of a darkened room and I am eating food again... 😕 I have been in bed for pretty much the past day and a half with the exception of an hour and a half when I went to the supermarket and for a little drive. Believe it or not I was not attacked by zombies and I am still very much alive, even if I feel like death.
