could you give me like an eli5 explanation of what specific policies you are referring to? I ask this as a left leaning person living in a right leaning state. So from where I sit, I see some of the dumb things my right leaning politicians do but I would love to understand what specific policies people think are some of Califoria's dumbest.


Right-wing people will just have vague criticisms about high taxes.

The obvious low hanging bad-policy fruit in California is Prop 13 though.


...which was dreamed up and promoted by such right-wing people, back when they had influence in California.


As were most laws that are now criticized. We actually have a huge amount of Conservatives in CA. It’s far from the leftist whatever-the-heck you probably hear.

Make sure you can afford the few % more you’ll pay in taxes and you’ll be just fine! It was negligible compared to my Midwest home state’s taxes; I was genuinely surprised by that after hearing so much negativity about the place and it’s laws.

Come visit sometime, there’s a place for everyone here and housing will snap back after our pandemic precautions phase out.


Trump got more votes in California than in any other state including TX and FL
