@icyuniversal: And the born and raised SoCal kids far out in the ocean swimming since they were “raised” that way 😭😭 and their whole family being here lol #california #southerncalifornia

deeno :

Bro, we absolutely know. The perfect weather, beautiful beaches, all of the amazing food. we don’t pay the crazy rent prices for nothing.

Ⓜ️ejia_323 :

I am aware being from LA visiting the IE or Bakersfield u realize how lucky I have it

bblovestea_9 :

We know. So when people talk shit about California, it’s hilarious because no state will ever come close.

stayprettymegan :

I can’t tell if you hate us or love us

La Chiquilla ✨ :

You’re making false assumptions. We do know, we are aware, it just sounds like we don’t because people who ask us about being born and living here don’t comprehend our normality

maybluebird :

oh we know, cause never once in my life did I have the feeling of "I cant wait to move out of this place." like I have zero desire to leave, this is my home and im happy here.

Jugodenaranja :

I appreciate my childhood so much even being born and raised in South Central LA. I grew up skating, hoping over fences to trespass abandoned buildings, malls, skyscrapers. I took pictures, graffiti art, poetry. It was still survival mode on the streets and wouldn’t want my child being raised in the hood. But I def appreciate it for what it was for me.

cassieopeia :

Oh we know. We know we grew up in the best place

nick cack :

Oh we know we are lucky.

randomonium :

If I wasn't born and raised here, I would 100% not be able to afford to move here 💀

🧿Taurita ♉️ :

Yes I don’t take being 30 min away from Disneyland for granted

Ooze Monster :

yep,LA born and raised.Moved away in my late 20s to see what's out there. Several states. Biggest mistake of my life. Im moving back,no other place feels like home home. Honestly,its expensive everywhere but lower wages.

Nicole B :

We do realize.

ughadolfo :

Okay now what

Kiko :

we know. it is normal and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I don't come home from vacation dreading coming home, the vacation continues.

CompostMalone :

No, we know. 😊

Dee 🧚🏽 :

i feel like yall think we don’t know but we live here ofc we know we’re lucky that’s why most people never leave

😬 :

8th generation ca here..my family came to ca on covered wagons..I genuinely thank my lucky stars they made it here every day lol

JuanCarloz :

Dr. Cris Flores :

We know. Trust me. I grew up in the Central Valley and even there, I had so much access to different experiences. Both professionally, and experiences wise. Dolores Huerta (may she RIP), well her son and my dad are friends and then I spent time in college working for a nonprofit and collaborating with her family. And Six Flags was an hour from my hometown. And now, I live 4 blocks from the beach.

Robb :

We know

Rey C | Spoonlike things :

We know, why do you think half of us never leave and the other half don’t have passports?

MoreClips :

I know how lucky we are, and I definitely appreciate it. I’m sure I go surfing and in and out, but I mean we still have our problems.

Bryan :

I know. That’s why people hate us so much. But then we see AZ and TX plates around our beaches 😂😂😂

Emerald Houseplants :

Oh I knew!!! I took advantage of it!! I never related to those people saying “leave your hometown” cause I was like!? Why would I leave LA!?
