“I came to California in [19]79 and it was totally – it was California dreamin’, and I wasn’t even in the best time,” Stallone told Fox News. “No, it was a lot better earlier … but it was real California sunny, you know? Cool. Not much crime.”

He described his recent drive through downtown Los Angeles. “The graffiti and the homelessness is almost like that movie Escape from New York,” he said. “I mean, it’s that scary. I mean, I batten down the window, locks … You’re talking trash piled four feet high. Just filth,” Stallone continued.

He placed blame on Gavin Newsom’s leadership, calling him a “bad governor”.
