Writing for the New York Post, Kyle Smith contrasts the two states and finds, not surprisingly, that Florida epitomizes good government policy whereas California models everything that bites. And people voting with their feet have validated that judgment.
I am fully aware that between the two, CA has better weather, and is more scenic and more geographically diverse. But in terms of common-sense governance, FL wins hands down, and that ends up being more important to peoples’ lives. The column provides chapter-and-verse on the differences, it’s worth reading.
On a personal note, the homeless encampments despoiling the parks of our NorCal university town were what finally convinced the other DrC it was time for two native Californians to cut our remaining ties to the state. We no longer have any “footprint” in California, if we visit it will be as tourists passing through.
