I really don't understand why non-Californians think it is such a bad place.
Especially those from states that are supported by California taxes.
Perhaps it's because everyone with intelligence and beauty tend to think they can make it big in Hollywood, so we have a far-above-average population in terms of beauty, intelligence, education, and tolerance.
We tend to be more fit and aware than most, so envy is inevitable, I suppose.
So go ahead and boycott California products if you can bring yourself to give up all we provide....but I doubt any California bashers would discomfort themselves to that extent.

Sedona is pricey but im willing to pay for quality, Right now Arizona is very attractive for me long term.
Sure there will be problems, it will take time for this law to have an effect, It is always darkest before the dawn.
Arizona will be the jewel of the south.

Crops
California grows over 200 different crops, some grown nowhere else in the nation. Crops include grapes, almonds, strawberries, oranges and walnuts.
California produces almost all of the country's almonds, apricots, dates, figs, kiwi fruit, nectarines, olives, pistachios, prunes, and walnuts. It leads in the production of avocados, grapes, lemons, melons, peaches, plums, and strawberries. Only Florida produces more oranges.
The most important vegetable crops grown in the state are lettuce and tomatoes. Again, California leads the way. Broccoli and carrots rank second followed by asparagus, cauliflower, celery, garlic, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Only Texas grows more cotton than California.
Hay, rice, corn, sugar beets, and wheat are also grown in large quantities.

Oh, and while we are on the topic of 1070...all the people out there who think they know better then the people that live in this state when it comes to why 1070 was actually passed...try walking in our shoes for a bit and dealing with all the negative things that illegal immigration and an unsecured border bring on a daily basis...then make your decision as to if 1070 is justified. Most of the people who think on their own down here will already tell you that it IS needed due to these circumstances.
