Los Angeles is a city on the brink of collapse, thanks to failed liberal policies that have made living there a virtual nightmare of biblical proportions.
A new report cites those failed liberal policies, soaring crime, and seas of homeless people and junkies as the reasons a flood of people are leaving the city…in droves.

At a time when all eyes are on Democrat-run cities, as they’re engulfed in riots as well as harsh lockdowns over Coronavirus, this is yet another gut-punch to the Democrat “way of life.” It’s failing on every level, and Americans are watching it unfold in real-time as we head into the 2020 election.
These liberal pie-in-the-sky ideas and policies all sound dandy on paper – but in reality, they don’t work. And once these failed policies begin to impact people’s daily lives, all bets are off.

Junkies and the homeless, many of whom are clearly mentally ill, walk the palm-lined streets like zombies – all just three blocks from multi-million-dollar homes overlooking the Pacific.
Stolen bicycles are piled high on pavements littered with broken syringes.
TV bulletins are filled with horror stories from across the city; of women being attacked during their morning jog or residents returning home to find strangers defecating in their front gardens.
Today, Los Angeles is a city on the brink. ‘For Sale’ signs are seemingly dotted on every suburban street as the middle classes, particularly those with families, flee for the safer suburbs, with many choosing to leave LA altogether.
British-born Danny O’Brien runs Watford Moving & Storage. ‘There is a mass exodus from Hollywood,’ he says.
‘And a lot of it is to do with politics.’ His business is booming. ‘August has already set records and we are only halfway through the month,’ he tells me.
‘People are getting out in droves. Last week I moved a prominent person in the music industry from a $6.5 million [£5 million] mansion above Sunset Boulevard to Nashville.’
O’Brien, 58, who moved to LA from London 34 years ago, is also planning to move to Tennessee.
‘Liberal politics has destroyed this city,’ he says. ‘The homeless encampments are legal and there’s nothing the police can do. White, affluent middle-class folk are getting out. People don’t feel safe any more.’
With movie studios still shuttered because of the coronavirus pandemic and businesses only just starting to remove the wooden boards put up after city-wide rioting following the death of George Floyd while being arrested by three white officers in Minneapolis, LA is now in the grip of white flight.
Bodybuilder Lou Ferigno is another one of those people who is leaving the city.
His wife Carla shared a harrowing story that was the straw that finally broke the camels back.
Lou Ferigno has become fed up with what he describes as the ‘dramatic decline’ in LA. He and wife Carla recently sold their £3 million home in Santa Monica and moved into a 7,146 sq ft mansion two hours north of LA.
Carla says: ‘One morning around 7am I opened the curtains in our beautiful Santa Monica home and looking up at me from our driveway were three gang members with tattoos on their faces sitting on our retaining wall. They were cat-calling me and being vulgar. I motioned I was going to call the police and they just laughed, flicking their tongues at me and showing me their guns.’
Her husband added: ‘We put the house up for sale after 40 wonderful years and moved north. We feel lucky to have made it out. Now we are in a wonderful place and very happy.’
Trust me, it won’t take long for that decay to spread beyond Los Angeles. It’s only a matter of time until it fans out everywhere.
California as a whole is a state teetering on the very brink of disaster.
