I couldn’t agree with you more Alexis. California is a thing of beauty. My problem with California, that caused me to leave after many years, is what the government has done to it. A top 5 global economy with a fragile energy grid, rampant and escalating homeless crisis, decayed transportation infrastructure, disdain for law and order, horrible forest management and catastrophic wildfires, nationally high tax rates, crazy gas prices, crazy home prices, surging crime, desiccating water crisis,…..poor governance is an incredible understatement….but I do love the land and the culture.
