  1. I think any area that pushes themselves in being great is always going to have a lot of people which want to move there and it's not just California, many places around the world are the same as London, Paris and so on. When an area push themselves to be so successful and pulls people in like a magnet, it's going to push up the cost of living in that area, Texas could become the same and decades down the line, people will complain about many of the same things they do about California with high cost of living. As for the homeless situation, it's actually crazy that the government pays them money, more so because it encourages homeless people from other states to move to California because of the free handouts, now I'm not saying the money isn't a good idea but it should be limited to people that have lived in California for decade or more, but really, what's really needed is housing for these people, projects put into place to get them back on their feet and productive members of society and paying these people helps in the short term but it's doing nothing long term apart from being a drain on taxpayer's money. Anyway, I remember a friend that moved to London for a few years where the cost of living is crazy high, anyway, for him, it was better to live in a poorer region and get paid a lot less than it was to live in London, a lot of these rich regions around the world are pricing the average person out and unless something is done about it to rebalance things, it's likely going to get worse over the coming decades.
