Exactly. We tried republican, and it made us worse, and more blue in the process! Californians go with what works. LA is booming like never before the amount of development is insane, but apparently we're going down the drain!!

You seem very ignorant of the state, which is enormous and quite complicated in its variation.
I think the poster was alluding to Baja California down in Mexico. Lol

It is kind of fun to see the bile spewing out of trumpers, the raw envy and all the time Cali does not have a duck to give.

That is what they really hate, trumpers hate that despite all the foot stomping, crying and whining Cali folk don't give a duck what the right thinks. not a single one.
Until Te big one hits and turns this engine into a junk heap. And all those artificially inflated property values. You wouldn’t be able to give away your property.

1906 didn't prevent SF from rebuilding and becoming the powerhouse City it is today.

The amount of things that would have to go wrong for CA to truly fail, as so many in this thread are predicting, would be enormous. So much so that likely the entire country would be in serious trouble because those issues would be affecting them, as well.

The entire country would be in serious trouble if anything close to this happened in California. SF is booming more than ever despite the threat of earthquakes.

.
Did the welfare system and social benefits exist back then? Did California support a third of the country's welfare recipients? Were drug addicts, crazies and vagrants living on sidewalks? Was the state billions in debt to state pensions? Was it supporting millions of illegals.?

As predicted, no one bothered to read the article written by someone who knows facts not feeeeeeelings.

Also, FYI: Cali is a city in South America, not a state in the United States.
I come here for the laughs.

SF was literally destroyed. And it rose again.

The state will endure. It always does.

That has been a fact of history.

It's an opinion piece, not FACTS. And it's written by the bitter little Thomas Del Beccaro the former Chairman of the California Republican party and a failed candidate in the 2016 California senate race, he did so badly that he didn't even make it on the ballot, he came in third to Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez, poor thing it appears he still hasn't gotten over that
