I need it all in one thread to reference.

Every week some shitty law or policy comes out of that excuse for a state and I can't keep track of it.

From what I've read here the Number one worst thing in CA is gun laws, but what else?

High taxes and cost of living, particularly in and around the cities.  Terrible gun laws, which have been covered here in depth.  Drought.

Apart from not being able to own the guns you want and having to pay a lot for the privilege, all while watching every drop of water that comes out of your tap California is pretty nice.

Very generous welfare if your a loser.
Very high sales taxes
Very high income taxes
Crappy traffic jams
High property values
Very strict air pollution laws
Cops are exempt of gun laws, even retired
25% of all drivers in California have no auto insurance
Helmet laws
Leash laws
Lots of homeless bums
Lots of cops
Prop 47!
High population, almost ungovernable....thus need more laws to control



And this is off the top of my head....



But I highly encourage all losers and scum to move to California, it's a wonderful place to live if you don't want to work and are a criminal.

A friend's father told me the biggest mistake  California made was allowing non US citizens to attend public schools. This was the beginning of the immigration problem that California now has.

There are rules for fucking everything to keep us safe from ourselves.

The county even has a 15 mph speed limit for mountain bikes on the local hills, it's insane.

This sums it all up. In the 70s and 80s this state didn't suck so bad. I'm constantly told by older friends and relatives it was a truly bitching place.

This.  And the smog in So Cal.

Otherwise I wouldn't mind living there, although I'd probably live on either end of the state -- Eureka or San Diego -- than anywhere else in between.

It might be faster to list the good things.

That is it. There is no more. See how fast that was.

Leftist and RINO immigration policy has allowed 7 million illegals into California, turning a 50/50 Republican/Democrat state into a perpetually blue state. "Motor Voter" and other schemes allow the illegals to vote.

The Leftists and RINOs are doing the same thing to Arizona and Texas, so beware.

It's winter break(surf) and it would be nice if was in June.  People, miles and miles of people...needs to be scraped.  Building condos over 40ft. thick of black silt topsoil farm ground should be punishable by death, an oil rig is ok though.  New Yorkers, that's what we called them in the 70s, plaid pants pink shirt, white patten leather shoes.

Taxes are too high
Houses cost too much
The politics are way too far left. I mean they keep reelecting fricking Nancy Pelosi!
Gun laws obviously
"Homeless" are treated like sacred cows
Weather sucks in San Francisco (I've frozen watching 4th of July fireworks)

I worked there for five years and commuted from Florida, people would ask me why I didn't move there, see above for my answer.

In fact, for most of the state’s history, people born there did not represent a majority of California’s population. (Imagine, for instance, children born in New York who were brought to California as children, and who then moved to Washington or Oregon later in life.

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/15/upshot/the-california-exodus.html?rref=upshot

That, and the fact that foreign immigrants make up a major portion of population growth.  Think Vietnamese, any number of hispanic/latin populations, lots of Asians, particularly in Santa Clara Co. and San Francisco.  

Used to be around 50% of Californians were born here, now less than 20%.  

But, in the long picture California received its citizens from nearly everywhere else in the US at one time or another.  It was a real dreamers place, not this fake "Dreamers" place of social justice and free education and welfare run amuck.  



About 6.7 million Californians have moved out of state.  Easily replaced in numbers by foreigners.  Real estate demand is still strong.

27% of the population is immigrant.

Mexico, Phillippines, China

No one in CA voted for that.  In fact we voted against it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_187

CA going left etc. was more a federal conspiracy.  Things happen.

When I lived there the things that really ground my gears were the following. 

High sales tax
High vehicle registration
The gun laws
The laws regulating off road motorcycles (red sticker bikes)
Fires

I miss the weather, food, and beer.

One of the largest economies in the world plus stupid high taxes = just under 1 trillion dollars in long term debt??????

But CA pays out more in fed taxes than it receives! Sorry Fed spending on ss, medicare and defense means fuck all when measuring a states economic health.
