5th highest per capita income of 50 states plus DC.
Average high in December - 63 degrees.
High prices? That's called supply and demand. There is only one California and everyone wishes they could live here.
Cost of living? I don't have to buy plane tickets to be somewhere that's not inhumanely cold in the winter. That saves a lot of scratch.
It has become a state of the ultra wealthy and rich and is leaving the rest behind.
The stats really don’t reflect a desire for everyone to want to live there, given the > 1 million outmigration from 2019–2022, and it’s not just because lots of people can’t afford it.
There isn’t really a good reason for gasoline and basic staples to cost damn near 2x what they do elsewhere in the same general region.
What you say doesn’t take into consideration the dystopian shit happening in SF and LA despite how you try and spin it as a positive.
Naturally speaking, I do think California is the most amazing state that we have to offer, and it’s not even close. I’ve said for 20 some years I’d love to live there if I could stand the people.
I suppose it’s great if you have a big tech job and live in a gated compound in Healdsburg, away from all the stress and hopelessness and homelessness and meager existence of the regular working class people you purport to defend.
Still remember the conversations I had with working folks out there in August. Dual income couples that can’t afford to have kids, go out to eat, turn on their furnace, or even buy bottled water at a convenience store. But hey, weather!
And we definitely know you don’t want
those people reproducing.
