California is great if you're rich and can isolate yourself from California's many dysfunctions.
Believe it or not, there's plenty of awesome neighborhoods with great public schools, shopping, and healthcare in SoCal, priced well out of reach from the riff-raff and poors. These neighborhoods enforce vagrancy laws as well.
If I won this cash, I'd have no problem buying a multimillion dollar home on Coronado Island, for example. A place, believe it or not, where Trump signs outnumber homeless bums.
I used to live in Coronado, above the pizza place on the main drag.
Of course, Coronado has been described as “a place where retired Admirals live with their parents” so there may be other factors driving away the element. :)
