Why do people dislike California? (lemmy.ml)

I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me "why are you moving there, its so bad?". Now that I'm here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.

I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says "the policies are dumb" but can't give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

What is it that conservatives hate so much about California is that it's no longer ruled by Reagan and actively making their lives shittier.

Ignorant people hate policies that raise the standard of living for all based on the fact that they're "being told what to do."
