I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.
I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says “the policies are dumb” but can’t give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.
So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?
I can confidently say that both NYC and Miami don’t have any of these issues despite being also population centers.
You can confidently say anything if you don’t specify which problems you’re referring to.
California gets namedropped the most, but I tend to hear a lot of talk about “liberal big cities” in general personally.
