Hahaha. Who the fuck wants to pay the ridiculous taxes in this state? I love CA and think it's the best state in the nation by far but I can't see myself living here because of the outrageous taxes. If this was all based on quality of life and nicest places to live, California would be the most mentioned state on that list.
My hometown of Fresno will never end up in the top 100 of any good list. We have some of the worst air quality in the nation, it's hot in the summer, and the job market is absolute shit; in fact, we have the highest unemployment rate in the nation, but that's due to the agriculture industry.
