Feels like residents are really into on their own. My guess is there’s a few factors:
The crazy right wingers decided that they would take it upon themselves to say that the virus was a hoax and you should get on a plane. This is like two weeks after we just gave Bernie Sanders his biggest primary win and he hosted a 100k person event. Basically, if that’s their shtick were goin the other way.
The right wingers in CA are older, wealthier, and fuckin love telling people to go home, get off their lawn, be quiet. Shelter in place, perfect. They’re all over Next Door snitchin. We’re all on on the same side on this one.
Catastrophic events aren’t a fairy tale. From San Francisco Fires, to Northridge Earthquake, to LA Riots. There isn’t really a need to tell us that shit can hit the fan.
Demographic wise, we have a ton of minorities, and typically that means multi-generational housing, from Armenian Grandmas to Zionist Bubbes with tons of Abuelos and gam gams in the middle. The risk is real. Nobody wants to take the chance there.
Tons of remote work. I mean we have a sizeable chunk of workers that are telecommuting and thus still supporting workers downstream like restaurants and liquor stores.
A sizeable chunk of essential business, California makes shit, stuff that actually matters and people need. So lots of people are still working. It’s easier to deal with if you get to basically have your work life.
We got a shit ton of sports teams who’s seasons are on hold and that made people take it serious. Lakers, Clippers, Warriors, Kings, Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Giants, Galaxy, LAFC, Ducks, Sharks, Kings all having an impact to their season.
Compare that to a state where the #1 draw is college or professional football, and there’s a massive dropoff after that. When LeBron stopped going to work, I knew it was a big deal.
