I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.

I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says “the policies are dumb” but can’t give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

  • Too hot? It gets over 100*f in the Midwest with high humidity pretty regularly. Chicago average daily humidity is 70%. But then it’s also winter for 6 months straight.

    Weather is extremely stable in California, that’s why it’s a popular place to live.
