Something About California Is Shrinking – Here’s What It Is
For the 171 years that California has existed as a state, one number has kept on rising.

And regarding that cost of living, just look at the average price of a single-family house!
The average sale price of a single-family home in California hit a record $758,990 in March, a 23.9% increase from a year ago.

This is exactly what long-term Democrat leadership does to a state!
