Where is it acceptable to put css folders and image file folders? I was thinking inside the view folder? However the controller always reroutes the path to the base url so I have to specify the path in the .html file to where it sits, which is redundant.

you can put the css folder inside the assest folder(you name it any name) in the directory of your project as:
- ci_app
- application
- views
- assets
- css
- style.css
...
when you want to load that file in a page, you can use base_url()function as this way:
<head>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='<?php echo base_url();?>assets/css/style.css'>
</head>
and you are sure to add base_url of your project in the config.php file as this:
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/ci_app';
I just wanted to add that the problem may be even simpler -
I've been scratching my head for hours with this problem - I have read all the solutions, nothing worked. Then I managed to check the actual file name.
I had "image.jpg.jpg" rather than "image.jpg".
If you use $ ls public/..path to image assets../ you can quickly check the file names.
Sounds stupid but I never thought to look at something so simple as file name given the all the technical advice here.
