[@SeaTurtle515]

@@miav7160 All large cities have their problems big and small. Overall we have well maintained infrastructure, roads, bridges, government facilities, school buildings, libraries. Many states have dozens of bridges that have decommissioned for decades or not regularly inspected for safety. We have access to a better quality of education and healthcare. Away from urban areas the crime rate is on the low side, there is less trash and air pollution. We benefit from the mild climate and we have many work safety regulations that many states don’t thanks to OCSHA. I know different people look for different things but for me, quality of life is huge. Housing in our coastal areas is expensive, but housing is more expensive in Florida and many other states like Georgia, Texas and Arizona are experiencing high housing costs too. I agree, parts of LA/SF need some major overhaul, but even places like Houston are experiencing out of control homeless and Kentucky of all places is the homicide capital of the US. So good and bad everywhere. I’m just so happy and thankful to be living in my beautiful Mediterranean climate. To each his own.

Celebrity photographers have no legal right to stalk anyone to get a picture. And, no one has the right to stalk anyone, stalking is a crime. Just because someone is wealthy and famous for their employment position doesn't mean they offer themselves up to be targeted by criminals and stalking is a crime and celebrity photographers who stalk celebrities are criminals. Prayers for Gisele Bundchen.

This is sad. I understand these half truths people have jobs to do but we have to think about what happened to Princess Diana. That's why there's these laws. What happens if they caused an accident and her children were in the car. She's in my prayers. And to the police in Florida put yourself in the celebrities shoes.

BIG difference - Diana got into a car and failed to put on her seatbelt with a drunk driver who drove at erratic speeds and crashed them into a post. Competent qualified security and a professional sober driver would have handled the whole situation much, much better and avoided that ridiculous dangerous behavior/response. Diana also was known to tip off the media herself as to where she was and what she was doing - MarkleRagland copies the same game.
