It cant win with you guys. Now you're making these comments cause California's doing well. Not surprised, but it is what it is.

You are right of course...
A preconceived notion is hard to let go of, sadly.
Any other place in the world that is booming has the problems that CA has. This is not new.
But since the "CA is failing!!!" is the favorite drumbeat of boosters of other parts of the country, and conservative minded contra logic types, they wont ever just say "Yeah, CA is doing well right now. Good for them!"
TX is doing well too. Just not the gamechanger that many try to make it out to be. But healthy growth.
Other places are truly booming, Seattle being one of them. This wont last forever, and it has its growing pains that need to be addressed, but lets just call it.....CA still dominates the United States economy by an order of magnitude.
