I've been to California a few times as a visitor and once when in the military. Don't think I'll be going back anytime soon! Too much of a "nanny" state for my tastes. And, of course, now the formerly cool places like San Fran have gone down the tubes to the homeless and the anarchists. No, when they finish building "The Wall" thru Texas, they need to go back to the other end and build one all the way up to Canada. California, Oregon and Washington can just be their own little country without infecting the rest of the U.S.!
