Why do people dislike California?
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?

Politics wise, it is seen as a hub of liberals. That means you have conservatives doing their best to knock California down the same way that liberals will do the same for Texas and Florida.
That said, there is a cost of living crisis that is caused a lot in part by the wealthy blocking increased density while locking in low property taxes due to date of purchase. So, a lot of coverage gets portrayed as rich liberals say they want these things, except near them.
It is also easier to film homeless in California since the weather makes it easier for them to live outside and the state is failing bad at providing housing for them.
Tbf Florida has gone completely off the rails, so much so that conservatives should be concerned..
Florida has gone off the rails, but this is what conservatives want. Hell, some conservative states are bringing back child labor.
But they should be worried about it is all I'm saying. They want it now because that's what conservatives in charge say they should want and that's enough, but they desperately need to step back and see what's happening but then again, if more people were capable of doing that we wouldn't be in the shitter.
Lol, Texas and Florida are doing a good enough job of knocking themselves down without help from me.
