The happy days in the California sun are over for this actor.
Scott Baio, famous for playing Chachi on “Happy Days,” announced that he would be leaving the Golden State on Wednesday due to the state’s out-of-control homeless crisis.
“After 45 years, I’m making my way to finally ‘exit stage right’ from California,” the sitcom actor said, adding staggering statistics about homelessness in his tweet.
“‘The most recent survey conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority found approximately 69,000 people experiencing homelessness in L.A. County and 41,000 in the city in 2022,’” Baio shared in the tweet.
The “Charles in Charge” actor blames the state’s soft-on-crime initiatives for the rampant homelessness issues, tweeting that it “brings down property value” and, after decades of living in California, “it’s just not a safe place anymore.”
