As a result San Francisco and LA basically dictate what the laws will be to the rest of the state much of which is rural in nature.
Same for most states. SFO and LA are the two voting wolves in CA. The pristine mountains and rural
farm areas (Predominately conservative) are the sheep they have for dinner. This is especially painful
when flying 600 mph for a solid hour over CA seeing nothing but natural inspiration and beauty knowing
that it's all subject to, perhaps, the most repressive laws in the US.
Most of the criteria in Mac's citation are great so I was surprised to see Minnesota anywhere near
the 4rth happiest. I'll bet the miserable performance of Reno and Las Vegas are no surprise
to someone going by the handle of 'macfromnevada'. . . ..
