California ranks last in opportunity due to cost living: U.S. News

This is what Gavin Newsom has done to California.  Want an explanation of why we are in a Doom Loop?

“proposed taxes could raise gas prices an additional $1.11 per gallon by 2026. The state’s energy is more expensive than any state’s other than Hawaii, further increasing the cost of living. 

America’s largest water district, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which supplies water for 19 million Americans, is raising rates 40% due to revenue losses from high levels of water conservation, putting additional pressure on Californians’ budgets.”

To kill us off, Newsom is mandating electric trucks!!  If ever in place, California closes down.

California ranks last in opportunity due to cost living: U.S. News

(The Center Square) – According to new state rankings, California ranks dead last in opportunity due to its high cost of living, says the U.S. News and World Report.

USNWR’s report uses cost of living, economic opportunity, and equality to create its opportunity metric. California’s nation-worst cost of living was the main driver of the opportunity ranking, as its economic opportunity and income inequality were both better than more than half of American states’. 

“California was the birthplace for opportunity where our ancestors came to seek a better life and pursue the California Dream,” State Sen. Brian Dahle, R-Bieber, who was California Governor Newsom’s opponent in the 2022 general election, told The Center Square. “Housing, electricity, and gas continue to rise, and [Democrats’] solution is to tax, regulate, and mandate no matter the outcome.” 

California housing is so expensive that the typical home requires a household income of $224,000, or three times the median household income to afford. Gasoline in California is more expensive than even Hawaii’s, which must be imported across the Pacific Ocean, and proposed taxes could raise gas prices an additional $1.11 per gallon by 2026. The state’s energy is more expensive than any state’s other than Hawaii, further increasing the cost of living. 

America’s largest water district, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which supplies water for 19 million Americans, is raising rates 40% due to revenue losses from high levels of water conservation, putting additional pressure on Californians’ budgets.
