Hmm, so many questions…
I am a junkie for details.
Notorious drug house directly across from the 3rd green of Baywood Golf and Country Club on Golf Course Rd (not Buttermilk
Ln.). Police are well aware of this residence and have taken action here multiple times. The sooner these residents are forced out of the neighborhood the better. All eyes are watching this house 24/7. Oh BTW… it’s for sale. Someone (without a drug problem) PLEASE buy it!!!
Too bad it’s probably priced super high. Been looking for a house for 4-6 months now and everything either is way higher than my loan cap, is too run down, or gets snatched up with slightly higher offers/cash up front. I’d kill to live in such a beautiful area. Sad this house is causing a disturbance there 🙁
I just bought my first home in Fortuna. Persistence pays off, as does a good realtor.
Woman killed in the driveway at the same residence 14 months ago:

Just read that. [edit]Nice people over there alright! How can the owners allow this drug-infested scene to keep rolling along?! Dishonorable and lame! I hope the tweakers destroy the house and property- if they haven’t already- and cost the owners hundreds of thousands of dollars in property value and associated fines. It’s wrong that there are no legal ways to extract the tweakers- this is a neighborhood full of expensive properties and so I’d think the neighbors would have some clout with the authorities yet…the tweakers still remain?!! When even the wealthy cannot clean up their neighborhood you know the system is very broken…
Todd Tucker, I used to live downstairs from that lowlife. He’s pure tweaking trash.
This is a well-known drug house on Golf Course Rd.
The police have responded to this address multiple times over the last 2 years.
There are several code violations on file with the county.
Cars coming and going all hours of the night and day.
The neighborhood is watching these tweakers 24/7.
Come on LEOs! Please put an end to this blatantly obvious tweaker shit show.
What has become of you??
We used to be a proud people.
Americans have become weak,
drug addicted disability grifters and worse.
Constantly relying on government for everything.
You people cant function without government assistance.
Get a back bone!
Well..the gov’t wants you to have a permit for almost everything you do- from your food& drinks, your toilets& showers, your garden, your job, your kids’ toys…….Apparently, the gov’t will smack you down if you are too proud& independent-they will make sure you follow their 1st world codes. All while having a minimum wage job?
If you grew up here in the US or here in California and you have a minimum wage job.
That’s your fault!
For not applying yourself.
We are importing a foriegn workforce to make up for our own people’s lack of ambition.
Why should we subsidise people who have had every opportunity to make something out of their lives and chose not to.
We cant afford all the dead weight any longer.
Be responsible to one another by being responsible for yourself.
If you haven’t put in, you dont have any right to public funds.
The thing is, as a society, it doesn’t benefit us in the long run to have people starving, homeless, addicted, etc., whether they are unemployed or underemployed. Children who grow up in that environment are not doomed to repeat it, but we all know the odds are stacked against them. And morally, I personally think it is pretty indefensible. We are the wealthiest nation in the world. What is wrong with our priorities if the sick, the aged, and the poor are left to fend for themselves?
We just borrowed 6 trillion dollars.
The liberals have squandered all of our wealth.
We cant afford to support folks that are not legitimately infirmed, children or elderly.
Indignant: first, we borrowed those trillions to pay for tax cuts, 80% of which, yes literally, went to the wealthiest who need a tax increase.
Second: you wrote, “We cant afford all the dead weight any longer.” What shall we do with people you find to be dead weight? Tell us. However, “moving them along” someone else’s problem isnt acceptable because they are moving their homeless here and we never get ahead of the problem.
What else? What is your solution? Is it a final one or what?
Not exactly. https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt_histo5.htm

The Federal tax revenue has been pretty much the same every year from 2014.
https://www.usgovernmentrevenue.com/federal_revenue_chart
What you mean of course it that tax rates have not increased at the same rate as spending. So many just say rh
According to your graph, looks like the debt came down with Obama and went right back up with the trump. Never mind.
Obama was president from 2009 through 2017. The deficits (not deficits) sky rocketed immediately after he took office and only dropped lower in 2011 when the Democrats lost the House, the appropriation body in Congress. Not that deficit spending isn’t a beloved campaign sales point in most politicians of either stripe. Nor are deficits solely within the control of any President. But if you want to a point about someone else, you first have to know some facts- or in this case just some dates. Or at least paid enough attention to remember the public fiction of the ACA having to be deficit neutral. Well, never mind…
Tax cuts were absolutely the right thing to do. Dont tax the rest of us to pay for those who have no ambition.
Taking life easy and not creating an economic engine for themselves is a choice people have made.
Peoples station and circumstance are a product of their own making.
Pre life karma,
(Karma from past lives)
Karma,
And choices they make.
Its vanity to think our pity would help these folks. They need to do the work.
Nothing to add to that, except a smidgen of this or that, which I’m all out of, except this:
Them: Increase their taxes, their (food, shelter, gadgets…) companies will be fine, they won’t be hurt at all, the greedy misers.
Them: Increase the taxes on them (smokes, guns, cars…) , so they’ll go belly up!
Us:
You shoukd put down the fox news. .80 of every $, went to someone far richer than you. The middle class will pay for that in$$, while you are told to make the poor pay for it in suffering.
The liberals? Republicans, conservatives are responsible for almost all deficits, which they later attempt to blame democrats, anyone but themselves. While we are talking about dead weight what about corporate welfare, grants and loans and gifts to the rich that total many times what we pay in individual welfare. We always go in debt for the rich when Republicans are in charge. The dead weight we can no longer afford is for the foibles of the rich. Why is it the patriots always want to kiss the ass of rich? Do they think a little crumb will be thrown their way? It’s disgusting.
I bake my own bread.
I dont wait for crumbs of charity.
By the sweat of my brow,
I’m gonna eat my bread.
Just a useful pawn for the rich. Typical Conservative.
The rich are greedy. The poor are greedy. But only liberals think their greed is equivalent with virtue. Like Biden just said “We choose truth over facts.”

Cough…Calvinism…
C’mon, stop with the liberals are bad people. You are smart. You know that there are bad and good on all sides of the political spectrum.
Stop only correcting people who complain about liberals. I’m beginning to believe my own rhetoric that I simplified for public consumption. You are not all bad people but I begin to be convinced you are all dangerous people.
Cough…https://kymkemp.com/2019/08/14/two-vehicle-accident-on-myrtle-ave-driver-flees-scene/#comment-849331
Patriot,
Thanks.
Agree indignit1. Everyone wants free government cheese. It’s called socialism. Relaying on your government for everything to be handed to you by the 1%. Ironically the very people you spit on, hate and loathe. Relaying on the government for protection, healthcare, food, water, shelter. Guess what? When that takes place…..they own you. NOTHING is free in this world….. not even cheese. America used to be a land of independent, hard working, pioneering, fearless people. Now? Obese, limp wristed, whiny, theiveing, drug addict, defenseless, inept pre-Madonna’s who can’t work there way out of a paper bag.
That last paragraph you have to talk/yell with the intensity of Chevy Chase on Christmas Vacation when he finds out his bonus check is a yearly jelly club subscription!
Ok cheese, next time your house is on fire, the fire department will let it burn. They’re too socialist to be of use to you.
Next time somebody breaks into your car or house, we’ll have the police leave you alone.
Next time you want to go somewhere, stay off our socialist roads. Get a hover craft or something.
Next time you want to know what the weather is, stick your finger in the air, cuz it’s socialist to check the weather service.
And remember you paid $36 in taxes to feed millions of people with food stamps and $6000 to corporate welfare while they didnt pay their taxes.
Sometimes I don’t quite understand Government Cheese’s policies myself but, with what I know of him…he’s likely to be the first to help if someone needs it.
My guess is your wife just left you for a homeless man?
When the sweep of history becomes incomprehensible, alway fall back on personal insults.
Some are born to addicts, and that makes it hard to take advantage of opportunities.
And you pretty much need at least what 10 times minimum wage now a days just to survive, not many in that latter category.
These make twice minimum wage with tips, they live in ghettos, not so easy now a days.

What do you expect when the richest profit from using low income imported labor while importing that labor adds competition for housing? The Hollywood star may make noise about immigration rights but they surely pay a low wage for an immigrant domestic servant.
It’s the M1b Visa holders not the Hispanics crossing the border we need to be concerned with.
Hispanics crossing the border become working class ( blue collar) individuals.
M1b Visa holders are better educated than most of you, and their birthright citizen kids will be also.
They are most likely in my estimation to cause the greatest disparity for native born citizens.
Look at silicon valley.
Native Californians of all ethnicities are the minority.
We cant afford to live there.
Google, and apple have paved the way for our demise.
Weve allowed our traditional enemy (china) to gain a foot hold right in the center of our state.
Trump and the rest of government are distracting us from the real threat by focusing on the border.
My suggestion:
Give amnesty to all of the people who are here now. (Not the m1b Visa holders)
Build an impenetrable barrier at both north and southern borders.
No naturalization after the amnesty for 20 years or until everyone is assimilated.
Not sure about no naturalization for 20 years & I’d say give full citizenship to DACA and PACA. They so deserve it. The rest is definitely food for thought. It makes sense. Also look at the realities and corruption with EB1… It’s very ugly.
Another very important thing that effects us in a big way; Foreign real estate investors who do not live in their properties, and those large RE companies backed by foreign money should be taxed extra. At the very least. An internet search will bring up the discussions of why. Who is buying bulk and not renting them out or living in those homes? Just leaving them to rot? In London, Sydney, Vancouver, Hong Kong, NYC, Seattle, LA etc.
Foreclosures should not have been sold in bulk lots to any large companies whatsoever for pennies on the dollar. Nor should the system (banking and other systems) still be set up to greatly benefit large companies over people who want to be home owners. The largest percentages of foreclosures BTW were not home owners- they were properties owned by investors.
The problem is politicians of both parties are heavily invested in that system… Like cannibals, feasting on their own.
The larger scale real estate industry and it’s stock market derivatives are killing us. Literally. And most people have no freaking idea of what or how it is happening. Just blame the victims.
For one thing, amnesty has given three times along with promises to fix the unenforced and unenforcible immigration rules. However a bit of a yell from immigration advocates and the employers relying on cheap labor whenever Congress has mentioned doing anything effective on limiting immgration has always stopped it cold.
And the flooding of the labor market at the lower end is what made wages for blue collar work so low that welfare becomes a sop to people who work but can not earn enough for rent. If lower end workers had to be paid better because they could not be replaced by cheap imported labor, then every level above them would also do better.
Regarding M1b visas- if our population can’t bother to get an education that will meet the requirements of highly paid specialists, so be it that anyone who does s welcome. Their brains should be added to the gene pool. But similarly with the other, not hiring native workers in order to import cheaper foreign labor needs to be limited. Trump’s administration did something about that too. https://redbus2us.com/h1b-visa-changes-by-trump-uscis-in-last-1-year-that-impact-fy-2019-season/
Anyone else notice the huge spike in violent crimes since weed was legalized?!? ALL OVER the county. Sure there were incidences where people were getting hurt before, but way less often, way less bloody… (usually) and almost always out in the hills. CRIMINALIZE WEED, CRIMINALIZE WEED, CRIMINALIZE WEED, CRIMINALIZE WEED, 🥳
I believe it has more to do with with inequality, loss of migratory bm trim work, rise in the opioid based drugs abuse, no reasonable way for poor people to get mental health treatment, and finnally overpopulation and the rise of the internet, destroying our way to learn empathy, and work out problems face to face.
I think that it has much more to do with the availability of cheap meth and heroin leading to a culture of drug addiction that I didn’t see here 30 years ago. Sure, there was some heroin but more coke than meth.
If legal weed has anything to do with it, the increase in crime is due to people who had access to easy money because of prohibition and weren’t smart enough to see it for what it was.
Back when I was in highschool early 90s weed was the big scary drug coke was for rich people. So ya now, we know weeds not scary, and coke is still for rich people. But back then there were jobs and factories. People turned more to alcohol to blow off steam after work. Now there are no jobs and people use heroin and meth to escape.
So true. Almost everyone had a home then too. A home and a job. Rent was cheap. People were not so economically insecure. Food was cheap.
Now people can have 3 part time jobs adding up to a full time one with no benefits and still not be able to afford to rent a home.
It’s sick. People in general can only take so much abuse before they crack.
Thanks buster, level head, noidea, you’re all right.
Though I’m against any kind of drug especially heroin, meth,
I almost can’t blame the ones that gave up and became drug addicts.
Unless somebody is pulling in at least a 1/4 million dollars per year from their job, like a doctor or lawyer or contractor (the top 20% wage earners), it’s a struggle.
No it’s not a struggle to live on less than $250,000 per year. It’s not a struggle to live on way less than half that. Sheesh. It’s only a struggle if you spend more than you earn as long as you can earn enough for normal living expenses. As Micawber said “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.”
Homeownership has not plummeted. Food was actually more expensive proportionally 40 years ago. Why do you think benefits have taken a hit? Along with wages? Because American workers are in competition with those from all over the world even from places where there are few extra burdens on businesses for enviromental, social benefits or court systems. Illegal employees don’t get benefits, their employers do not have to pay workers comp, SDI, met FLSA rules, etc- they are about 60% cheaper to hire than a legal worker. And even a constant stream of legal immigrants suppresses the power to pressure for wage increases as anyone making trouble is easily replaced with someone not so demanding.
But just wait a bit. Baby boomers are dying off and all those home will soon be available. At least they will be available to those willing to work.

Blaming drugs for addiction is like, well, like, blaming guns for violence, or spoons and forks for being a fat slob. Next…
I only work three jobs so I could never afford that neighborhood but it sure is choice in there. Drugs? Yeah I guess that makes sense, i suppose that is what it takes to afford such a lovely area.
I don’t live in Bayside but I crawled up the housing food chain without a lot of money. It was just by being ready to buy (ie finance) the house I could afford, fix it up, save more money and repeat the risk until I got where I wanted to be. It is possible to pay a large amount then lose equity but that is making a choice to buy what you really need to create. If there was a market downturn after you bought, tend you lose equity you can’t afford. But buy a cheaper place in the midst of a downturn, then make it better and history will show your chances are good of profiting when you sell. But work it was and where all my income went in the process. Even though I keep track of the real estate listings out of habit, I can’t see I want to work so hard at it now that I have pretty much what I want. It’s a good feeling.
20 years ago people would work for money, just people off the street, used to have signs, will work for ……, money, food, etc.
Now they aren’t interested, and since they are probably on heroin or meth. they probably couldn’t work if they wanted.
The heroin and meth are to blame, anybody that says they aren’t is probably the drug dealer making money off selling their poison and ruining that person’s life, ruining the neighborhood and community.
Shutting down the dealers, is a good start.
Truth. Work tends to interfere with what a person wants to whenever they want to do it. Not something a drug addict wants to do.
