Communist California

People wonder why the state of California is bankrupt and 10's of thousands of people are fleeing due to lack of jobs and insanely high taxes. This is yet another example of government bureaucracy and regulations destroying the incentive to remain in the state. Could you imagine spending 10k dollars on geological surveys and tests only for you permit to be rejected. Of course you can say, "soak the rich" but imagine the red tape that the average business owner has to go through or even the typical property owner.
