Why do conservatives keep saying California has "collapsed"?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

They can't comprehend reasonable taxes that actually can do stuff [CA and NY like most of Europe understand this concept] and high immigration doing anyone any favors, both are happening, with 9 specific counties having a larger economy than Saudi Arabia. It's just too much.

There is nothing reasonable about Prop. 13.

The median home costs more than half a million dollars. What more do you need to know?

I don't think half a million can even get you a studio condo in much of coastal California. It's no wonder that there have been huge increases in Obama/Trump villes.

I bet that Bart line that goes right into Richmond, that is a 40 minute ride to downtown SF, has a lot to do with the feeding frenzy. Was that line there 10 years ago?

It was built about 45 years ago. Richmond used to have very high crime, but crime went way down under their Green party mayor, and their policies of paying people to stay out of trouble. Richmond is still going to be cheaper than most areas because it has pretty bad pollution from a refinery. Around a thousand people had to go to the emergency rooms a few years ago because of a leak from it.
