Completely untrue for one. In fact, California has the best geography in the whole country behind only Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii varying by what makes good geography. Secondly, California is a huge state with a wide range of geography and weather. There are even rainforests in the northwestern part of the state and the mountain areas in the south like Lake Arrowhead collect a small amount of rain water from the tropical monsoons. Evn the coasts with SoCal having May gray June Gloom clouds hitting the mountains and the fog drip which gets heavier the farther North you go. It is also able to sustain redwoods as far south as monterey county. For earthquakes, they are not that serious and especially with great earthquake infrastructure which we have the best of in the country. For the erosion, those are mostly for certain types of sea cliffs with lose mud and clay that produce mudslides. For the wildfires and droughts, they are common in the summer, but never that bad. Climate change has made them very unusually terrible. The fact that they are happening into winter is what the problem is and even before with controlled burning, wildfires never did anything. For the droughts, we normally get so much water it lasts well beyond summer. There are rainforests in the mountains in the northwest that get over 100 inches of rainfall a year. Though then, if you people want to leave my state, I say go. More room for me and cost of living will go down.

They are not more resilient to climate change than San Francisco. Los Angeles I can see as they have more access to water from the rivers and mountains near them from snowmelt. But it doesn’t even get that much more than LA and LA when accounting for Lake Arrowhead and other areas, actually has the same or better water access. It has has more elevation than the central valley which despite drier climate, gets worst outcomes from local flooding. For San Francisco, it get over double the rain that Sacramento gets and way more than the San Joaquin alone. Iy also has all the possible river run off they get combined through the bay while having more protection from higher elevation. On top of that water, they have the wet Santa cruz mountain water which is the same water that also feeds the redwoods.

@dlazo32696 There isn't that much of it and rather, a very gross generalization of the most populous state with huge regional differences. Even then, most of the homeless are not living outside people's houses. They are living in parks, along streets of businesses, and even out of their own cars. For needles, it actually is better here compared to most other places as California has lower drug abuse compared to most other states. Third world?! LOL! The most technologically sophisticated state that is responsible for your ability to even type this comment is a third world country. Ok. But if California were Mexico, most other states are the same third world level hdi as North India and West Virginia and Mississippi would be about the same quality as Haiti and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Texas would be about the same as Ghana. Also, when describing those states, they do not have as much geographical variance and population variance as California does. Hence, being more descriptive of said states. All well, I guess enjoy living in the rest of the country that is low on sewage divers.

@hairbarnes530 California has over 10 million more people than Texas. You are guaranteed to have not only more homeless in numbers, but also more homeless percentage wise due to increased variability. Also, that is not that much better and some can find it not very significant. Let's compare other states. New Mexico for instance, had a far lower homeless population both in total size and in percentage and that is due to lower population which results in lower variability. Same applies with the rural rocky states and the New England Backyard states. For companies moving to other states, the don't appear to be reducing the homes issues in those states as their homelessness actually got worst while California has actually declined. For technologically sophisticated state, it still is and by a huge margin with the only real competitors being New York, Washington, Massachusetts, and Texas. This is the place where the rockets and best military technology are developed. The best computer tech is designed here in California and the state has actually widened the gap between the other states in technological innovation. For success, I think it can do much better and should. But in the end, it is better than basically all the other states. I don't care for your state unless it were Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, or Oregon.

@SeattlePioneer The high income people are still here. Don't know about the leaving. Plus, we are getting high income people from overseas. For high taxes, they offset those by raising the prices on what they sell. For illegal immigrants, we don't actually get that many and it doesn't actually matter that much.

@SeattlePioneer Also, the aircraft industry is happy here and we have a growing space industry with it too.

@dlazo32696 I'm pretty clam and get more calm with more people leaving my state for me to enjoy without them. For homelessness, there isn't. The reason we have the biggest population of homelessness is because again, we have the largest population in the country and by a lot too. If you multiply the same percentage with a larger population, you also get a higher number represented from that percentage. For the politics, think whatever it is you want. I have no interest in discussing politics. I don't even have much money and I work and I am fine with my place in NorCal having basically no homeless. The places where the homelessness is concentrated is Los Angeles, the Bakersfield-Fresno-Stockton belt, and pockets of San Jose, Oakland, and the Tenderloin and Filmore areas of San Francisco. As you can see, this is a city problem that has even been widespread in cities outside of California.

@SeattlePioneer Seattle isn't that cold though with the Pugent sound generally ice-free even during the winter. Also, it already has a Mediterranean climate due to the dry spell during the summer there.

@SeattlePioneer You don't want it. For one, Seattle won't just get warmer, but drier too. Secondly, Seattle would become more like the northern California central valley cities like Sacramento climate wise due to the Olympic mountains. The drier climate will kill off vital mountain forest species in the area and cause landslides and become more prone to wildfires. This also reduces the ability for the area to retain the water. Fourth, a big chunk of the city will go underwater as well.

@SeattlePioneer Seattle isn't that cold at all. The coldest temperature never even reached the negatives. The climate is the same as some cities in Northern California. In fact, this is no colder than Palmdale California with the historic low of Seattle only being 3 degrees lower and Palmdale is in Southern California.

@SeattlePioneer Compared to other places. The east coast had to repair the Washington monument over it.

@SeattlePioneer Was this during some wildfire? Washington state isn't dong too much better or worst with keeping the lights on.

@SeattlePioneer What a generalization. Especially for a successful state. Compared toothers, you should probably apply the same. For multiply, that is nature and children have variations. This acts if they are a type of parasite you want to rid of. The multiplication doesn't make the well being of the state any worst or better.

@SeattlePioneer I think it is pretty clear.

@SeattlePioneer Every state has problems. I never implied such. What I am saying is California isn't the only state with issues and that California is far preferable to other states. For your responses, you rarely say anything with real substance as they are very black and white. For problems, they are recognized. But what I see here is denying issues of other states who frankly, have it far worst. For government stuff, think what you want. I'm not going into politics. West Virginia who by the way has those things of what you like about a government, isn't exactly doing well along with numerous other states and there are states with the same type of governance as California who do even better than California. Even with California having these issues, California still by far does better than nearly everyone else in the country.

@hairbarnes530 It appears someone keeps deleting my reply to this comment for some reason.
