I have some good friends in Mendocino County and that's a very different place
我有一些好朋友在門多西諾縣，那是一個很特別的地方
It's a place where both the county sheriff and the district attorney
這個地方的縣警和州檢察官
say they don't care if you cultivate marijuana plants if you don't grow too many
稱他們會對大麻種植睜只眼閉只眼，只要你種植的數量不是太多
In fact, they just a had a ballot issue on whether you should be allowed 25 or 6 plants with no problem
事實上，前不久剛通過了一個決案，決定大麻種植上限應設為25棵，還是6棵
and actually they dropped it down to 6, because a lot of people just said it's just too open, people are growing in their backyard in Ukiah
最后決定將上限降為6棵，因為很多人多認為管理太松散了，在尤凱亞甚至有人在后院種植大麻
they did drop it down but it's also a county that has no grading ordinance, you can bulldoze at will
所以他們降低了上限，門多西諾還是一個沒有土地條令的縣，你可以隨意開荒圈地
It's a sort of place where you go to build a house and people say "building permit"
在這個縣要建一棟房屋時，人們會問"建屋許可"
Why would you get a building permit? It's just built. In the rural areas anyway, so
"要建屋許可干嘛?"直接建就好啦。當然，這主要發生在農村地區，可見
a different political culture, but very heavily voting for the Democratic candidates
當地的政治文化很不同，但那里的民主黨支持率很高
Yes, ok, say, he said in Mendocino County very left voting people with guns, Oh yes, I witnessed that as well
對，他說在門多西諾縣，極左的人投票是會帶上槍，是真的，我親眼見到過
So... It's... Yeah, ah... They actually sort of there's a real tension in the 1970s and 1980s
這其實是在20世紀70到80年代之間
between the sort of old redneck families if you will and the hippies who came up, but that's all over now
守舊的鄉巴佬與開放的嬉皮士之間出現過緊張的局勢，但現在已經不會了
There has been sort of a meeting in the middle on some issues
現在人們對事情的看法處于保守與開放的中間狀態
There is not nearly the tension there used to be, so yes certainly not politically very distinctive from the Bay Area
所以過去那種緊張的氣氛已經消失，可見這個地區的政治文化的確不同于舊金山灣周圍
