As a retired native Californian who remembers the former great golden state and is now actively researching relocation I have wondered how the entire slide into tyrannyOK so my only issue is a flaw in your logic. What you just stated is a classic example of a false dichotomy. You’re suggesting the only alternative is dirty air and dirty water. That’s nonsense. Those kind of arguments work great for politicians but it is, in fact, grounded in a logical fallacy.
At least in world my only real issue with California (having lived there for 7 years) is their inability to realize they are not the center of the world. California, specifically la county has some significant air quality issues they’ve dealt with. There are ~16m people living in that county alone. That is double my entire state of Arizona. I appreciate and like when California can fix issues but just because it works there it doesn’t mean it will work somewhere else, nor should it. That is obtuse and arrogant.
You can see such arrogance in a quote from your governor and I think this attitude permeates Californian politicians (and I mean CA Republicans as well). They need to be checked.
“America in 2019 is California in the 1990s,” Newsom says, not approvingly. “And so, we’re not going to put up with that. We are going to push back.”
Now, the topic he was referring to I happen to agree with but his attitude is you’re going to like the Californian way of thinking whether you want to or not. If this attitude wasn’t so popular in CA then how do these CA politicians keep getting elected?
It’s just another type of flawed logic.
