California is expensive for a reason and that's because so many people want to live there.
California has it's problems, especially with the homeless. However, California can and should improve.
Conservatives solution to California's problems will not solve it. Cutting taxes and regulations will NOT lessen poverty. If that was the cases then states like Mississippi and West Virginia would have the lowest poverty rates in the country (they don't, they are the poorest states).
Better solutions need to be made. No California is not being "turned into Venezuela" as many conservatives suggest but it's not the 100% problem free utopia that many liberals envision. More work needs to be done.
"Conservative" solutions didn't seem to harm California while it was becoming the California "everyone wants to move to."
Surely you could see how this would work in the inverse—that Silicon Valley is the reason that cost of living is skyrocketing, and that the simple existence of a draw to the state does not indicate an overall greater livability, nor a reason that other residents should appreciate this demand. Economic opportunity need not lead to broad-based economic viability.
