Have you been here? It doesn’t look like that.
Santa Rosa=homeless people, trash everywhere, chain link fences everywhere, power lines, no bike lanes, 70s strip mall buildings that haven’t been painted since they were built, no actual maintenance from the city…medians and sidewalks are covered in 6ft tall weeds across the whole city. They literally write an article about paving a road for the first time in 24 years the other day. It’s pathetic and gross negligence/mismanagement of taxpayer funds. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s amazing the things normalized as okay in California that no other state accepts
