 One of the noteworthy accomplishments of California is a debt wall of over 400 billion dollars, not that they should brag about it of course. The governmental regulation of doing anything in that state is staggering, the congestion, pollution, and other issues isn't something they have to brag about either.

 And if California was such a utopia, we wouldn't have so many moving here, or coming here to enjoy our wonderful state. Spending their tourist dollars here as well.
