Austin would be an even better place to live if it wasn't in the middle of a dysfunctional state run by right-wing wingnuts.

To be fair, everyone's objection to Austin is that it is located in the state of Texas.
SF would be an even better place to live if it wasn't in the middle of a dysfunctional state run by left-wing wingnuts.

See how that works?

Yes, not as well. California's dysfunction is due to its own right-wing wingnuts.
California being in debt to the gills is the result of the right wing? Meh. Dem politicians rule CA now and have for quite some time. Jerry Brown ring a bell?

California’s budget woes combined with poor economic results have long made it a poster child for poor fiscal management. The state’s credit rating has been downgraded to an A- by S&P, the lowest rating for any U.S. state, and its budget and pension shortfalls are infamous. How long has it been since CA had any GOP hegemony again? I'm no Republican, but shifting the blame won't work in a fact-rich environment.
