I don't know, what I have seen of it looks really nice.
It's beaches would be nice right about now when yesterday was -20.
Cali is only worth it in video game form.
For when you want to be a swood guy.

The reason there is a housing shortage is building luxary housing for rich people. If you stopped building it there would not be a shortage. This isn't rocket science.

Careful comrade, this is the scheduled Two Minutes' Hate for California. Please turn your hymnal to page five and recite the 'blue state hell california shit immigration crime crime crime' litany three times. Thank you for your cooperation, and pay no attention to the similar patterns of real estate and population movement to the exurbs happening in every major city in the Western world.

Pointless comment is pointless.
Risottia's point probably hits it on the head. San Fran is probably too expensive for most people. Not to mention Hepatitis A has basically spread all over the state and has made people fearful. But sure, answer irrationality with irrationality. That always solves the problem.

There's a lot more to Cali than theme parks, but that's usually the first place everyone goes. We also have this: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions ... ornia.html
And this: http://www.visitcalifornia.com/feature/ ... california
And in Cali, you can also surf and ski in a single day. Or watch any professional sports team you want. We have everything, except sanity in the State Government

Hepatitis doesn't spread that quickly, and most of us are sane enough to get tested, or at least use condoms before getting in on. Not sure what they do in Sacramento (the Sac) though.
On the fun side, I remember when NorCal was trying to secede from SoCal.
NorCal: Fuck you SoCal, we're leaving!
SoCal: Fine, take the Sac with you!
NorCal: Fuck! Erm, can we get along?

I'm just reporting what I saw on the headlines, but sure.
That sounds like Texas every 20 seconds. XD

Ever since the election California has been getting hate on.
Kinda unfair really.
Anyway, housing market is too expensive and San Fran is losing people.
With all the selling, prices will fall and people will move back.
Hating California is a past time with some people. Some just don’t like sunshine and beaches or something and some are so ideologically bent that if they accept a functional California it destroys their world view. So there’s some cat right now hitting “quote” so he can do those error arrows on “functional California”. It’s cool we’ll just be over here being awesome and the rest will catch up to us eventually.
