California starting to turn out the lights..

I found this looking around the internet. I can’t confirm this story is 100% true but I can tell you in my area it is certainly FACTUAL.

People begin living without electricity and water in California

I couldn’t find statistics for local utility shut offs in my area, but I knew we would start to see more and more of this.


Houses everywhere are going vacant. People don’t say goodbye, they don’t leave a number, they just disappear. With their disappearance we add another vacant house to the street. But families living in housing without utilities is a new sight for me to behold. I spoke recently with a rep from So Cal Edison who, full time contacts residence who have had their electricity turned off due to non payment. She has a negotiator sent in and they work on a reduced payment. It’s amazing to me, that now, it is becoming acceptable in California to camp out in your home.

People are losing their homes, losing their cars and losing their dignity. How are we going to afford kids clothes and school supplies for the coming year? How can we expect families to pay for all these additional costs when the economy is in the shape it in. I ask myself this everyday.

On my street alone there 50 houses from cross street to cross street. 10 of them sit empty, 4 have for sale signs with “Bank Owned” flags on them. My house value has dropped from a high of 420k to just a little more than I paid for it 15 yrs ago.

We have had two houses on the block broke into by homeless folks and used as a place to sleep. Our neighborhood got together to try and police our own yard so to speak, and it has helped as far as crime and squatters…

The underlying issue of the despair is JOBS. There is NO JOBS in this state to speak of. Unless you are in the service industry such as health care or an elected official. WHY IS THAT? Mmm, could it be the anti-business environment created by the “Tax the rich” liberals in Sacramento and DC?

Something the liberals/progressives in power don’t seem to understand is pretty basic to even this neanderthal redneck. No Businesses = No Jobs, No tax revenue, No money for your pet projects…Simple stuff really.
