Abortion is legal in California.
It will remain that way.
I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation.
We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.

California leads the nation. This article says by 15 years. I always thought 6. But we are already into the transformation.

Why California Politics Is Always 15 Years Ahead
The Remarkably Prescient 15 Year Rule Means Trump & the National Republicans are on the Verge of a Spectacular Collapse

What do we mean by California is the future when applied to politics? Modern California politics has an uncanny knack of prefiguring what happens in the rest of America in about a 15-year timeline. In other words, what happened in California 15 years ago should be studied closely to see how it will play out in America today. And whats happening now in California will roll out over America in the next 15 years.
California experiences the future earlier than other parts of the country. Californians invent many new technologies, adopt them early and adapt new systems around them relatively quickly. They absorb waves of immigrants at the highest numbers in the country and accommodate them into their society quicker. The state is a magnet for young people, entrepreneurs, and people who want to change the world. Much of the population is unusually open to trying new things in the economy, society, and in politics.
Prescient?
Lots more at the link. It's true.
P.S. There are some affordable homes, just not in the big cities. A bit further out.
With a view.

(9,809 posts)Not the gloom and doom that so many post here.
I have been pro-zactive with so many of them.
And California is not some fantasy land, as retrogrades say.
The future always looks odd, and frightening to those mired in the past.
Until it arrives. Not perfect, but "the best we got"
The picture is from my humble driveway, looking down on the central valley.
