It would be inappropriate if a moderator were demeaning a specific political point of view - i.e. if I were to come out and denigrate all conservatives or Republicans - but there's nothing inappropriate about discussing (or even complaining) about perceptions of local/state/federal government policies or actions. 

They know they live in a misunderstood neighborhood and the minute perception more closely aligns with reality, county assessments and their property taxes will go way, way up.If you're going to invest in low-C and D-class neighborhoods, you've got to walk the streets at different times of the day and keep notes.

It all depends on the lifestyle you are accustomed to and your perception of money in your life.Personally, I'm really passionate about the idea of stable future and certain benefits for my children.

I am not sure if it is a generational thing, societal selfishness, fear or what.

Perception is reality.

And contrary to popular perception, California has a massive amount of stupid people - uneducated college educated, clueless, Pollyannas that think they are special and the entire world should listen them them and their enlightened views.

There are people who not only make a lot of money in it, but also satisfy a societal need.
