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?

        I appreciate it’s a big state but unless you’re within a couple of miles from the coast in Northern California it is unreasonably hot for a significant portion of the year

      Saw this a few times here, kind of a strange one IMO. Maybe it’s because I rarely visit socal, but the Bay area is like always slightly colder then I prefer.
