I'm gonna make the wild guess you are a MT resident, so you can live in CA up to 180 days per year and be exempt from a lot of their BS (as Hugh plans to do in a few years). You probably don't pay income tax to CA and you probably buy as many of your consumer items as possible in MT, since there's no sales tax there. Again, you have enough FU money to exempt yourself from so much of the BS in CA. But for the working stiffs who can't afford to "officially" reside in a low/no tax state, CA is an extremely expensive place to live. I have been called by more than one CA Pelican, asking me to let them register their car to my address here and even to get them hi-cap mags that they can't legally get in CA. Those aren't issues for you, but for the folks stuck in CA because of work or family, they do cut into quality of life.
