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?

    their actual reason for disliking the state is that it’s not a republican state

    Largest number of electoral votes for presidential elections, too, which drives 'em nuts!

      And it still isn’t enough to be representative. A vote in California is only worth about 1/4th of a vote in Wyoming.
