California Governor Gavin Newsom recently announced that tourism in the state has reached a record high, promoting California as the top destination for tourists with attractions like the Golden Gate Bridge, beaches, and mountains. However, this announcement was met with significant criticism online, with detractors highlighting issues such as empty storefronts, vandalism, and homelessness in cities like Los Angeles, contrasting sharply with the governor's positive portrayal.
