Illegals aside, the California Soviet Socialist Republic is one of the worst run states in the US. They deliberately keep the cost of living as high as possible so that the state government officials who are in bed with local real estate brokers can continue to get kickbacks, all the while the streets are filling up with homeless people who can't afford to pay the GDP per capital of Switzerland for a studio apartment in the shitty part of town.
They also deliberately misallocate funds away from handling forest fires, despite having one of the most notable forest fire problems in the world, levy extreme taxes on gasoline in one of the most car-centric parts of the country, refuse to enforce any laws regarding theft or physical violence whatsoever, and generally do anything they can to make life worse for anyone besides the billionaires who can afford private security and don't see a commoner more than once a year anyway.
