I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me "why are you moving there, its so bad?". Now that I'm here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.

I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says "the policies are dumb" but can't give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

    There’s a large amount of perceived haughtiness from the residents of California. They have a lot to be proud of though - it’s a great state in a lot of regards.

    The Napa Valley liberals are staggeringly arrogant when you meet them in person.

        It's nice, but it does have some glaring gaps in it, such as the usual exceptions for most "luxury bones" concerns (teeth). Last I checked, Medi-Cal only covers one basic cleaning a year, for example.
