I’m really tired of the California bashing. California is an extremely rich state in resources. It has great farmland. It has oil fields and natural gas fields. It is a forerunner in ecology. It has some pockets of extreme lunacy (think Bezerkley). It has pockets of extreme conservatism. It has given America some great politicians and some awful ones. We’ve gotten some great Supreme Court justices from California. It is not a state of lunatics nor radicals. It has some extremists but the majority of Californians are pretty normal with the same hopes, dreams and aspirations of most Americans.

I lived in California for the first 40 years of my life. The last five of them in the East Bay.
While a lot of what you say is true. There is no arguing that California has shifted to the left over the years. The major cities have shifted to the far left.
Granted, California is for the moment still an economic power but as policies change they become less business friendly.
