California is an incredible example of how to drop the ball when running a powerful state. Texas is of course on the other end of the spectrum in terms of regulation and being business-friendly. Something more in the middle of the two is obviously ideal.

California's problems are going to magnify as time goes on. The state budget has always been a fiction they could paper over because the state had high growth. As growth slows it becomes harder and harder to provide services using debt.

It is astounding how many of CA's problems stem from across the board downzoning post 1960s.

I’ve heard this a lot and am curious to learn why this is the case. As an employee at firms in SoCal then NorCal, I only enjoyed my living and work time in CA. Perhaps, I would see differently as a business owner? Curious to become an informed citizen and learn what isn’t working in CA
