California is exactly what happens when the left is in charge. This is what they want the entire country to look like. Frequent power blackouts due solely to insufficient electrical  grid and power generation. Encouraging illegal immigrants to live in the state by providing them free medical care paid by Cali taxpayers. Crime so bad groups of kids and organized criminal gangs enter stores/homes and steal with no concern about being caught. Gas prices and energy bills much higher than the rest of the nation.  A homeless population that increases every year by leaps and bounds. Some of the highest taxes in the nation. And finally preventable wildfires that threaten to destroy the entire city.
