California the Golden - 1930

[SagaciousSilence]

"It's streets are metropolitan and teemed with traffic"

LOL, that was a good thing back then!

California:

a utopia before overpopulation turned it to shit!

[libertylove7]

He mention OLD SPAIN!! NOT MEXICO that now claims California.

[boazrg]

Yes! Spain ruled California! That's why Cal has community property laws, and so forth! All this stuff about California being part of Mexico is just hateful "Aztlan" propaganda from "La Raza Unida", the Mechia Movement, and other hate groups.

80% of these landscapes are GONE. depressing.

An excellent peek back in time.

1:45 is Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles. That park no longer is like that, its now open typical suburban grass with few benches and few Modern architecture (ugly) structures.

[IDLERACER]

The building at 1:52 is in Culver City, not Hollywood like the narrator says. Amazingly, it still looks exactly like that today. It was used as the fascade for Terra in "Gone With The Wind."

[JimmyJazz332]

Times ain't like it used to be in Los Angeles. San Francisco still kicks ass like it always has though.
