 Yes, you can have nice things in Los Angeles. It's a lot easier in West Los Angeles on the grounds of UCLA Botanical garden. So life's still pretty good in West Los Angeles pretty safe Walk around UCLA. There's a little trash There's some fantastic trees even from Afghanistan other stuff here from Australia So the Mediterranean climate zone I read is only 2% of the world's Area, but 15% of the world's plants have a good ghostly gumtree Look at that fantastic Fair dinkum I'll ride it home You know rose gum Beautiful tray-yay and here up to the side of the UCLA campus The gray ironbuck eucalyptus. So you don't see a lot of other vegetation Underneath the eucalyptus tree except for some grass Generally I'll compete It's like a cup of water. That's a beautiful gumtree Just want to give it a hug Fair dinkum Taste of Australia you know rose gum when when my time comes You'll hear me whisper rose gum rose gum I remember I think Chuck Okay, it chuckles the cloud former UCLA Chancellor the one who was Chancellor when I was here used to walk the grounds Every morning first thing And if you saw any trash you would not be happy you'd have a word word with Custodial stuff So every man's a beautiful campus and that's a fair dinkum pine tree So you won't find any Poverts, so I'm less around here, mate We're about five miles from the ocean We're about 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles Good place to sit and read and meditate So I'm surprised by the number of people who said to me this time. Why did you come back to this shithole? Ten people have said this to me and people I know are moving Principally people have gone By the Orthodox Jews I know and their acquaintances. They've principally gone to Florida and the second most common destination is Texas And also some people going to the outskirts of Atlanta But life in West Los Angeles is not so bad, right? Not so many homeless There are no homeless on the UCLA campus No homeless in Beverly Hills But there are substantially higher crime rates compared to 2019 But not nearly as bad as what we've had in the early 90s. There are a lot of conservatives I'm now kind of discouraged To see down to my homelessness and crime will get sold on the Democrats and that has discouraged this Many of my conservative friends. I'm not sure how important it is that non-liberals getverted into office Quality of life. I love firms. It's a safe space Here on the UCLA campus Yep, I'm not I'm not discouraged. I think UCLA is best days. They're still ahead The dream is not over in California and it's February February afternoon, it's sunny Clear, it's clean Nothing but blue skies You can grow anything here So riding public transport here is a little more that's comfortable probably Every third ride. There's some crazy person on the bus or the train
