Costa Mesa is stating financial difficulties even though this city has one of the largest Malls, South Coast Plaza, and a huge number of major businesses, restaurants, entertainment centers.* The city juts pricey Newport Beach and Corona Del Mar.

My heart goes out to this young man and his family, he just couldn't take the thought of unemployment I guess.

Is somebody watching the way cities are spending their money?

This is really sad..
My question for you is, would you jump off a building?
And, do you take your job this seriously?

OVER 9000!
Tbh, If I were to commit suicide I would sell all of my stuff including house and cars, take the best ****ing holiday ever, and if I have any money left (Which I won't because I'll make sure to have the best ****ing time ever) I would donate it to charity.
Go out with style, suicide like a ****ing boss
It's sad suiciding like that, he could have had weeks of fun before doing something like that, and then possibly changed his mind (about committing suicide) during the process.

Daddy's home.
I can relate to why he did it. I'm struggling to find a proper job. I have one, but it messes me about. Cancelled here and there, shit dead end job with literally no hope of getting anywhere. Only reason I'm there is because it's a job, and pays. I have applied for shit loads of jobs. I have GCSE's at C's, so I'm not not qualified. It's the economy. Companies are only hiring experienced people and don't want to pay out to train people up. That's why I'm finding it hard to get a proper job, because I don't have experience. If I wasn't who I am, as in not a depressed person etc, I could quite easily have killed myself a while ago. Out of the jobs I have applied for, I heave heard back from about 2 out of more than 50. It's, for lack of a better word, heartbreaking how you spend loads of time writing to the company to hear nothing back. People have killed themselves before over it, and people will continue to do so.

I really Think that people should focus more on the good things in life. If that guy had a family it's kinda selfish what he did Leaving his wife to care for his kids all on her own ... More important things in life than a job really . He's 29 years old with his whole life ahead of him ... Absolutely tragic
