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?

    > Notably these are all problems in other states too. Most of them just use police to lock them up instead. Not better.

    They don’t always lock them up. Sometimes they put them on a bus to California.

      That represents such a miniscule population that it’s not really worth talking about.

      90% of your homeless population is home(less)-grown.

        In the context of this discussion about attitudes towards CA, the fact that CA is held to a higher standard than other states is worth talking about.
