Yes, I seem to recall this thing in common.

The national figure is that 25% of SF home costs are due to regulation. I would assume in CA it's probably pushing closer to 40% at this point. That's gotta be a few hundred grand, at least, for a median home in the state. I will grant you that their costs will always be higher than Kansas because of demand, though. Probably will do a lot more traveling to CA once the kids are at an age where we can tolerate the flight with them since it's the shortest trip to a sunny state.*
*Although we should be door. ass. out. to a sunnier state by then.

I'd have to read into the subject more. I think the reg driven % of cost is also gonna vary dramatically (even in CA) based on Zip Code in price point. I mean I doubt 40% of a $12,000,000 SF in Newport Beach is due to restrictive zoning laws or regs that affect building cost per sq ft (some of it is, but not 40%). With the primo dirt it's a supply and demand thing. There's a reason why DFW and Houston are so much cheaper than coastal CA and it ain't all related to communism.

Where it hurts is in places like Temecula
The trade was a big house priced reasonable and good schools for the longer commute
House prices are out of control there because it's safer and cleaner. New homes still have the added costs and tiny lots.
It's hard

Washington
All those other states will be dust bowls but Washington will still be great because Insley and Ferguson saved it by banning gas vehicles.

I've crawled up and down every nook and cranny from Rockies west and I refuse to pick a favorite. It's not possible. I'm just pissed Nevada didn't even make the poll, the state with the most mountains and valleys in the country sans Alaska. Playas, deserts, mountains, sunshine, canyons, snow, palm trees, cactus, moose, rattlesnakes,.and Lake Tahoe. Barren wasteland my ass. You fucked this one up @YellowSnow

Also, New Mexico? Bueller?
Shut this dumbshit poll down until it includes all Western states.

If I had a gun to my head I'm gonna go with Utah. I have a strong Edward Abbey streak.
But also maybe California. California has everything.
