The more I learn about Cali's laws and taxes the less I want to live there, which sucks because the landscape can be so beautiful
One use of the taxes is to preserve the beauty and make it available to everyone except where it's too fragile.
A lot of the regulations exist to mitigate the evils caused by massive concentrations of humans, like air pollution.
But hey, you go ahead and stay where you are. That'll keep a place open for another of the many people who move away, experience life in those other states, and then come home again.
Don't get me wrong even if I wouldn't go there long term Cali is still on the visit list, it's just a matter of time and opportunity
Libraries don't charge me, that's the beauty of it. I can exist there with or without a library card. Drink water, use the bathroom, read all day etc. The taxes pay for the maintenance and resources.
Can't taxes pay for state park maintenance behind the scenes the same way rather than charging at the door? I get they want money from visitors using the park but there's things like fuel taxes and hotel taxes and campground fees that could pay into that too. I don't know what the actual fee for entry would be but still I think that having a fee to exist in nature feels kind of dystopian to me idk.
Pls keep learning 😛
Ya room for improvement. Absurdly amazing when everything’s good (you have money near the coast but not near wildfires)
