Despite being a hard ass right winger I enjoyed the years I spent in CA, 1972-1985. That included 8 years of gov moonbeam. I lived within walking distance of Santa Anita, the schools were first class and the Arcadia cops were aggressive. RIP Alta California.

Sounds about right, from personal experience most building inspectors in California do not know their jobs and no two are alike. I had one idiot red tag an electrical service entrance because I used a non metallic cable connector
to secure the solid copper wire that went to the earth ground. He said I need to use a rubber grommet. His reasoning that during an earthquake the metal clamp could shear off the copper wire. Obviously if an earth quake was that violent the whole building would come down. The deal with the inspectors there is they keep moving the gold posts.

California is a lot different now than it was in 1985. I was not able to escape
till 2011. I left during the 2nd act of governor moonbeam. All during his campaign he said no tax increases. The first day in office he said he had to raise taxes.

More on the subject

With a great explanation

https://hotair.com/headlines/2023/06...lators-n555053

“ As private insurers increasingly refuse to renew policies, more California homeowners are turning to FAIR plan policies. FAIR plan premiums have been too low to cover the losses its customers have incurred with the result that the plan is $332 million in debt. In other words, the plan is not actuarially sound. This means that the California Department of Insurance is likely to impose a special assessment on private insurers to make up for the FAIR plan’s losses. Private insurers cannot pass along the costs of the assessment to their policyholders. As California’s largest property insurer, State Farm would be on the hook for the largest share of any such special assessment.”
