Fact Check: No, California Hasn’t Had an ‘Incredible’ Decade
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/02/fact-check-no-california-hasnt-had-an-incredible-decade/
CLAIM: Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) says California had an “incredible” decade because it stood up for “our values” and took on “big issues.”
VERDICT: Mostly false. California’s economy recovered, but it lags behind in other areas.
Newsom tweeted on New Year’s Day: “What an incredible decade. We’ve accomplished so much in CA by standing up for our values and taking on some of the biggest issues — from healthcare to gun violence to climate change.”
Curiously, Newsom did not cite the state’s economic or fiscal progress, but its “values.” That is because much of what Newsom and the Democrats value in California has to do with good intentions, rather than real-world results.
California is in a major downward spiral.

The comments in the OP's article are roughly 99% along the lines of "California Sucks."
I know there are pockets of sanity in that state, but those pockets seem unable to thwart the state's overall swirl down the proverbial toilet.
I know of several people who have unassed the state. Most of them have not brought their idiotic utopian bullshit vision with them -- on the contrary. But there are plenty who have moved to Phoenix or Boise or even to Virginia who stupidly want to bring their leftist bent to flyover country, thereby re-creating the hellhole that the principal cities in California have become.
