But California has been getting more attention than any US state (maybe other than New York) for generations, not just because of the more recent crime and cost of living issues. It's bigger, it's better. Beautiful weather. Beautiful people. I get it. There's a lot to be jealous of. Now that they're having problems because of some misguided liberal intentions, people want to pile on. People sure loved to jump on California's population decline in 2020-2023 because it supported their larger view that it was in decline because of liberal policies. Maybe that's true, but all of sudden in 2024 California's population goes up by 250,000 and there's crickets from the mass migration touts.

California is not gone. It needs a tune up. That's all. Another Reagan-type as Governor will go a long way to cleaning up their current problems. Still a great state. Still top of the mountain in my books. As you know I live part-time in Florida now, but if California were on the east coast, I'd be there way before Florida. And that's no disrespect to Florida, we really like it. But it's not California.
