No offense to you guys living there but fuck California (figuratively). The open border, citizen of the world mentality is really naive and requires totalitarianism to achieve. It will take all your money and then some to pay for and still won't be enough to please all the different social and political groups. On top of that you have an entitled political class just raping the citizens for their own benefit. They would rather you have zero freedom, 100% taxation, and if they could take away your freedom to think for yourself they would have that too. These political geniuses consistently kick all the fiscal problems down the road while lining their pockets resulting in the wave of municipal bankruptcies going on now.
This is what happens when you try to do to everything humanly possible besides performing the basics of representative government. There's nothing wrong with this either, each state is allowed to govern itself however it wants. We get the government we vote for and deserve what we get.
I say fuck California because they set the trends for the entire country, what happens there first eventually happens everywhere else in the country. I live in New York, we're already fucked like you guys, except our weather sucks. But once every state becomes like California you can put a fork in the great experiment that was America.
