You mean without wetbacks to do your dirty work you might have to do it? Here's a little factoid from your own Orange County Register....


One in five Californians live in poverty, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau report.

Using the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which accounts for regional cost-of-living, the average poverty rate in California from 2014 through 2016 stood at 20.4 percent, the highest among the states and second only to the District of Columbia’s 21 percent average. The national average over that period of time was 14.7 percent.

From the same newspaper:
Unsurprisingly, California is perennially ranked as one of the worst states in the country in terms of perceived business friendliness. This year, the state again ranked dead last — as it has for the past 13 years — in a survey of hundreds of CEOs by Chief Executive magazine on measures of business friendliness, with the state ranked the worst in the taxation and regulation category.

Taken together, California’s barriers to business will, in turn, harm the poor the most. If California wants to seriously address its high levels of poverty and factors aggravating it, like high housing costs, it must relinquish its commitment to excessive taxation and regulation.
California's home ownership is currently the lowest it has been since the 1940's. You have a little over 13% of the country's population, and a little over 32% of the country's TANF recipients. Your homeless rate has increased by 24% in the past couple of years.
You are a typical Liberal; you sit in your home on the golf course and feel sorry for the rest of the country but are sure you can fix every problem if you just had a little more of someone else's money to throw at them.

Hey I get it all. I'm a political junkie I know exactly what's going on. I'm retired and spend my time staying abreast of politics. There three types of people leaving the bay area where I live. Working class people who cant afford the high cost of living and wing nuts that cant stand the liberal politics and people reaching retirement age who sell there homes for a million plus and move to a state where they can purchase a nicer home on some acreage or a nice gated community for a quarter of what they sold their home in California for but for every one that leaves there is one or two that moves to California for the jobs

California's problem is not regulation or taxations California remains a center of innovation. An off spring of our excellent top rated universities and colleges. Califrnans biggest problem is global warming and too many people comming for the highly paid highly skilled jobs. and not enough housing construction to meet the demand for housing and part of that problem is a sho=rtsage of skilled labor Since the big developers manage devastate the residentila constuction unions. The unions had apprenticeship progrms and trained workers to meet the demand for them thos progrms went away when they destroyed the unions
