It is like so many on FR consider it a hellhole. If it is, and if the law of supply and demand holds true, then why are rents and home prices so high in the Bay Area, den of marxism and degeneracy that is supposedly is? If it’s so anti-business, why is the unemployment rate, at least in my deep deep blue area, low, especially for anyone with tech skills?
Personal opinion- the vast majority of citizens are moderate and sane; the MSM (and plenty on FR) pay orders of magnitude more attention to the loony .02 percent. For every protester you see at Berkeley there are hundreds of normal kids studying, working second jobs and living normal lives.
Agree. But that does not explain why the abnormal ones wield so much political power.
My Father in law moved to CA in the 1970s. He was a liberal then. He is conservative now—he hates how CA has changed, though the policies he advocated for decades are to blame.
