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 don’t disagree. We should be building low income housing and we should approach homelessness with housing first.
I love affordable housing but I’ll settle for market rate.
It’s a national problem but it’s definitely more pronounced the more a place has grown, and Cali just keeps growing.
