A sad state is a terrible view.

[474-E58]
Today I drove into my hometown. I may have already sent you guys this before but today I came home severely depressed.
I hate to get political but I think our governor hates us. I get this feeling because when I drove into my hometown in the downtown area I saw nothing but graffiti and boarded up buildings. I don't feel safe traveling down the main streets. I don't even think our police car anymore. I think my entire town has been suffering from severe depression. And it is all attributed to the policies put into place by our governor. As more people flock to my hometown because of major film productions taking place here it leaves me wanting to escape this desolate dust bowl it has turned into.
I wanted to take a day with Thumper to visit a few familiar places to get my spirits up but no one is happy. Not even at my old job. No one is perky. No one is happy. They just trudge along. It saddens me. And most of the problem stems from their own laziness. My state has a huge problem with anger right now and I can just feel it. It is a passive aggressive hatred I am feeling. Never mind the traffic or how busy the streets are. It is the surroundings and the environment that has drastically changed.
I need to get out of this state but I am stuck. I mean my job, and where I live outside of all the riff raff, is fine. But I want to ride through a happy town. Not a scrappy fortified class warfare zone.
I visited Detroit Michigan to see where one of my artists grew up and it looks way better than my home town city. California is what my hometown is starting to turn into. Now I want to get away from it. Problem is there is no other sustainable living situation out there for me. And at my current job I am happy with it and they are happy to have me on board. I just feel so sad knowing the big city is in such peril.
If you've ever read books about the past you'll understand what I mean when I say I fear my State's own livelihood. I don't think it is going to survive another 20 years. I think it is going to become the next hell hole that everyone should avoid coming to.
Add in the ridiculous prices of owning a home and you've got a molotov cocktail waiting to light up the suburbs...
I think I have lost faith in staying clean. I might end up switching sides. I gave it my best shot to try and get people motivated already. All of it was wasted. Everywhere I go it's the same story. A bunch of people who do the absolute minimum and still collect a pay check. People gaming the system messing everything up. It's maddening. I can't believe everything that is going on. I think the pandemic has nothing to do with this. We just have a bunch of garbage that littered our city in the last two years. I don't feel warm in it anymore. It's grotesque. I came back to try and invigorate my fellow statesmen but I ended up getting a bunch of hooligans hired. Forget it.
For the first time I have hit a great wall of sadness where even the saddest song I have can't uplift me.
