Meanwhile a 2 bedroom 600 square foot house in California can easily exceed $1 million. What's the point of a good economy if vast majority of people eventually get kicked out of their homes because of the rising cost of living?

That sort of thing is happening everywhere. Blame the lack of regulations against corporations/the rich buying up property, not California.

I will. Because red states send their homeless to liberal states. Besides, what do right wing states do to stop homelessness anyway? But no right winger wants to address that.

I mean, when the wealthiest people and companys of the wealthiest country in the world all consolidate in one place, mostly for its geography and weather, then that's to be expected.

Dunno why the average California feels like they are a contributer to this.

There's no genuine interest in debate or discourse in their minds. They pick out a conclusion they would like the exchange to arrive at and every single thing they say or respond with is designed to guide the conversation towards that lol

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/energy/california-poised-to-overtakegermany-as-worlds-no-4-economy/2022/10/24

Californias economy has proven relatively resilient, first through the pandemic and now through the current period of elevated inflation. So much so, that the Golden States gross domestic product is poised to overtake Germanys as the fourth largest in the world after the US, China and Japan. It had already leapfrogged Brazil (No. 7) and France (No. 6) in 2015 and supplanted the UK (No. 5) in 2017. Although many of Californias current figures wont be published until 2023, estimates suggest the state may have already caught Germany, with at least one forecast implying California is ahead by $72 billion when considering the states recent growth rate.

The truth is that California outperforms the US and the rest of world across many industries. Thats especially relevant with renewable energy, the fastest-growing business in California and Germany. The market capitalization of California companies in this business increased 731% the past three years, or 1.74 times more than their German counterparts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Notable examples include Freemont-based Enphase Energy Inc., a solar and storage solutions provider, up 916%, or more than twice the 410% returned by wind-farm maker PNE AG in Cuxhaven along Germanys North Sea coast.

This generalization is hilarious to me. Yea maybe in the most expensive parts of the state but it's such a massive state there are plenty of nice houses in nice areas that are in affordable range.

Give me a reasonable budget, your desired beds and bathrooms and I'll find your a nice family house somewhere in northern Cali in a decent place.
