As a California resident, I have the impression I live in the technology center of the world, that I am part of the 6th largest economy in the world, and that California is a beautiful place to live - and more importantly, that once you move out of California you will not be able to move back.
Also we have Feinstein so that's... that's a joy.
PS: I love it how there's a desperate need for cheap housing, and developments are approved - but always priced for big-earners.
