Bloomberg sees California as model on climate change, guns
Miami Herald ^ | January 6, 2020 | By MICHAEL R. BLOOD, AP

Mike Bloomberg's plan for California - export it.

The Democratic presidential candidate and former New York City mayor likes a lot of what he sees in the Golden State and thinks its efforts on climate change, gun control and criminal justice reform seta benchmark for other states to emulate.

“I think that California can serve as a great example for the rest of this country," Bloomberg told supporters at the opening of his Los Angeles campaign office.

Yes, there are problems, including homelessness, struggling public schools and scarce, costly housing. But California “is something the rest of the country looks up to,” Bloomberg said. "California has been a leader in an awful lot of things."

His comments marked a sharp departure from views of President Donald Trump, whose administration has been in a long-running feud with the nation's most populous state over issues from environmental protection to homelessness.

The political moderate argued that Trump has divided Americans, while he can unite them, and that as Washington languishes in gridlock, he has a record of accomplishment as mayor.

Campaign offices are typically drab affairs located in old storefronts or shopworn, budget-rate offices. But Bloomberg's virtually unlimited budget was on display - his cavernous office was in trendy downtown, its interior accented with industrial chic decor and lush plantings.

If Bloomberg’s view is so true, why is more expensive to rent a UHaul to get out of California as opposed to moving in?

california would have the population of North Dakota if it had similar weather, topography, and seascapes. Nobody. Actually, nobody would tolerate the taxes and retardedness at all without its natural assets

This description of the bullet train is a wonderful analogy to the Astroturfing Bloomberg campaign:

Somebody at high-speed rail drew a line for a route on Google Earth and had no idea of what was on the ground or how they are affecting it
