It’s interesting watching celebrities in LA realizing just how bad things have gotten. 

But this isn’t new, it just didn’t affect them until now. Remember when CA tried to pass a law that almost outlawed the entire gig economy, including ride-sharing and independent contractors. Or when CA wasted tens of billions on high speed rail that was meant to be done 4 years ago and is likely never to be finished. Or when CA’s largest cities elected prosecutors that completely refused to prosecute crimes and caused massive damage until they were removed from office via recalls. 

I can give dozens of other examples. There’s a reason the state literally ran out of U-Hauls at one point because so many people were moving out. 

So it’s nice some people are noticing now, but this problem isn’t new. And it won’t go away until there are actual political consequences for incompetent partisan governance. Otherwise all the resources and nice weather in the world won’t save it.
