yeah, that's not without reason, this state is a hellscape, especially in regards to costs, road maintinence, and regulations. then people flee from here to other states and vote for the same policies that made cali a hellscape.   mostly hippie stoners, violent fentanoids, and wild fires. some of which is thanks to a wide spread introduction of the eucalyptus trees, followed by environmental regulations that prevent them from being trimmed, cleaned, or cut down.
