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?

Describe these "people asked me", OP.

It's endless soulless suburbia interspersed by twelve-lane traffic jams, what's there to like?

Consider the possibility that the "hate" is not an opinion being reached in good faith.
