Yeah I love so-cal. If I need seasons, I’ll buy a vacation rental in the mountains.
I think everyone has a threshold, past which they’ll be forced out by the state government. That threshold may involve cost of living, CARB rules, crime, taxes, etc. Individuals can take more abuse than businesses. I haven’t approached my threshold yet – but $2/gallon higher than any other state might do it, for the insult factor alone.
