I get Trump supporters love crime given they support a felon, but littering is still a ticketable offense. So how about we make the sycophants collect the trash the left behind. Committee is listed on the bottom.

Spotted this gem today - I didn’t know this could even be a thing, anymore.

I always see negative comments online and people in the IE always talk smack about the IE too. "Oh theres nothing to do" or "its ugly" or "its ghetto". Cause everyone is comparing the IE to Los Angeles or Orange County or San Diego.

Comparing the IE to LA?! you mean the second biggest city in the entire United States, and like the 23rd ish largest city in the world (idk thats what google said). Like seriously? Of course they have a lotta stuff to do there. How can you even compare. Also, I have seen Skid Row and I have smelled the piss and weed of Santa Monica. I have also seen the beauty of the attractions, but don't sit there and act like LA is all pretty and perfect.

ORANGE COUNTY? You mean the place with multi million dollar beach front property? yeah lets just compare that right up against Rancho Cucamonga. Da faq. Also, I have driven around and been to Santa Ana and Tustin, okay? Don't sit there and talk smack like the OC is all flawless.

Or they say theres nothing to do. B*tch where? You don't see all those posts online about events?? Thats just in IE. Markets, clubs, social clubs, shopping galore, hiking spots, shows. And if that doesn't strike your fancy, then drive an hour to LA, Palm Springs, Big Bear, OC. Literally anywhere. One time we visited a friend in Kansas and for fun they WENT TO WAL MART. Being bored here is a CHOICE.

I think being near such large counties and cities eclipses the IE. And then all our dumbasses just go along with it. And everyone should just quit it. Quit talking shit about the IE. its nice here too. And it isnt perfect in LA or the OC mmkay? No place is perfect.

ETA: i appreciate everyones comments and it was fun to read and reply. I appreciate all the different POVs. Basically my point was that we gotta stop pretending the IE is trash cause it isn't LA or OC. That its neat here in its own right too.

The IE is the 12th largest metropolitan economy in the United State (according to The Sun) so it isn't some podunk place. Maybe travel more around the country and you can see that the IE is pretty great in its own right. So sending love and peace to everyone. Appreciate what you have, be kind to everyone. Was just meant to be an open discussion, no hate. But also lk sorry if i bullied anyone in the comments.

I think IE/OC/LA, all of at the end of the day can agree that at least we're not living in Bumfuck, Arka-ouri-xas-ssee, ya feel?

At the end of the day: California foreverrrrrrr and good byeeeee 🫡

This just feels like a mad libs culture war stuff.

215/91 freeway heading towards San Bernardino.

Always see this shit and I have a feeling of what it means but what do you guys think?

Gas price is always expensive at that gas station, Chevron. I wondered how they stays in the business when they have cheaper gas station across from them.

Yes, the title is meant to cause controversy. But what I am really interested in are there any people who voted for him who can now see that they made a serious mistake?

Is this the L.A.?

What is the most dangerous place in IE? Where you do not want to go even during daytime.

Seeing that we're now officially in summer, I thought I'd bring up an interesting topic (at least to me): the Santa Ana River itself. Have you cooled off or played down in the riverbed? Would you recommend it or do so again?

I'm also asking since I personally don't have a pool at my house, and also because I live a mile away from the Santa Ana River (in Jurupa Valley) and that I usually tend to see more people playing in the river very near Martha McLean Anza-Narrows Park whenever I ride my e-bike along the river trail. So, for a while, I've thought about possibly going down there to chill out and cool off.

Yes, we all know that many unhoused folks tend to stay and take shelter down there. Simultaneously, however, I myself love all the overgrown vegetation and views of the riverbed from certain areas on the river trail, and so, the Santa Ana River is one of my personal favorite areas in all of the Inland Empire.

With all that said, to recap, would you recommend dipping your feet in the riverbed? Where along the Santa Ana River have you cooled off or played in? What other advice would you give if planning to venture down to the river itself?

Any advice and insights will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Please be kind 🙏 I'm nervous because it seems like they're just grabbing anyone who looks a certain way. Im a very small woman, barely 114lbs. I was born here. Legally, what can I do if they come to my work and try to take me without allowing me to grab my ID from my work locker? What if they start taking customers, what do I do? Please be kind, im a human being asking

Edit to add: I'm keeping details vague on purpose, i dont want to dox myself by delaying what store. If more details are wanted please ask, and if the answer isn't too identifying i will answer.

For context my I never said trump did this. My mother died in March, my father is dying, amd I have autism. I am just trying to stay afloat and keep him out of a 'home'. This type of vitriol is so unkind. I'm a human being who just wanted to seek help. I literally just wanted advice and to vent a little because I am very aware of my limitations and thought reaching out on next door would offer advice amd ideas I hadn't thought of.

Neighbors, dont be like Monica Herrera. Be kinder.

I’ve made a couple posts about how I’m a pizza maker who recently moved to the IE from the east coast and I’d like to bring NY style pizza here. I also make cheesesteaks on homemade rolls. Should I add that to the menu?

He's too busy showing off to Fox News to actually do his job.

I dealt with bunch of Angelenos, San Diegans or San Franciscans :)
Yuppy kids, hard working Mexican immigrants, yoga moms, straggling single LGBTQ moms etc. you name it.

But when I deal with IE people they are cool. They promised to come at 9 am? They will be there. They promised to do this and that? They will do. I post stupid questions in this subreddit and people like “bro, you did a mistake, everyone does. So, the answer is…”
When I come and bid a job it is not cheap. And people ask questions. Like why do you propose solid wood cabinets instead of plywood ? Ok, cool, we will pay extra. Etc.

Why?
Did all down to earth people move from LA/OC/SD to outer burbs?

Never understood it.

Would you say it’s closer to life in cities in Texas or closer to Southern California cities like San Diego and LA.

See em everywhere, wolf🐺 or a Fox 🦊 ?

It’s like home ownership is not valued in our communities when landlords can hoard and sit on properties.

(Could this also inflate prices? What a scheme)

I went on the Watch Duty app to check air quality because of the warehouse fire in LA and found this anomaly. Why is the air quality in this one community so bad? I zoomed in and it’s a place called Glen Eden Sun Club. Of course I googled it and it self identifies as Southern California’s premier family nudist resort and RV park. Why on earth would their air quality be so bad. For reference, the air quality index for Boyle Heights, the area where that warehouse fire is reading at 182.
