the nuttiest politics in the whole country. I cannot for the life of me fathom why ANYONE would want to live in California. For me, it would be just like riding a motorcycle, yeah, it is fun at times, but the risks FAR outweigh the rewards. And the consequences of the risks can be permanent, life altering, or even get you the deads.
Opposing views?

hurricanes, but that danger doesn't nearly compare to the frequency of the others in Cali. Like Steely Dan said years ago,
"California, tumbles into the sea,
That'll be the day I go back to Annandale."

It also has (at least) two world class cities, an economy the size of France, and is one of the breadbaskets of the nation. If you want to work in tech it has been the place to be for the past thirty years.
Cali is not for me, but I think it gets ragged on too much. In fairness, it makes itself an easy target.

No arguing with the beauty part. For me, it was probably the real origin of the

saying, "Great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there."
Point Lobos has often been called "The greatest meeting of land and water that has ever existed." I'll just have to take their word for it, I will never get there except in pictures.
I would surely have loved to have played Pebble Beach at some point while I was still able to play golf. The views every year when they show the PGA Tour tournament there are the most spectacular in the world. But, again, that's a visit, not living there.

Those 2 world class cities are over built and the surrounding land is unable to provide appropriate resources. Now their environment is over stressed and they expect everyone else to bail them out.
Yep their economy is big and their State is bankrupt. What's that tell you about their stewardship of resources?
That State is like a beauty queen with a rotten soul. Sure it's beautiful to look at but who wants to pay for that kind of up keep and get nothing in return.
No thanks. I went to the Northern part of the State when I was a tweenager and that will probably be the only time I visit, unless someone else is paying the bill.

Paradise, lost and found, paradise, take a look around
I was out in California where I hear they have it all
They got riots, fires and mudslides, they've got sushi in the mall
Water bars, brontosaurs, Chinese modern lust
Shake and bake, life with the quake, the secret's in the crust

think of Cali at all.
Just the fact that Nancy Pelosi lives there is enough to keep me away, all by itself. I don't wish death on anyone, but it WILL be a red letter day for the universe when that cow takes her last breath.

it. Forcing them to cap prices will be the next thing. That will Shirley bring on court cases from the insurers. Butt, who is going to side with a big, nasty insurance company? So, they will probably just kowtow to the zanies who still want to live in those areas.

south Florida, you can't even get one of your traditional insurance companies to write any property insurance in the South Florida/Keys area. Even then, flood and wind coverage costs as much literally as the mortgage.

There is also the hidden cost in FL as the State and communities try to harden their roads, bridges and other infrastructure to hurricanes.

hw many things do you own that has a special sticker or warning telling you that this product causes cancer in California? I think my lawn mower is considered a carcinogenic in California and my vacuum cleaner causes birth defects.

I hated it. It might be my least favorite big city.
But then I got to go to Santa Barbara and Northern California and I understood the attraction.
