I also remember him blasting California for not building a bunch of nuclear plants to desalinate water for agriculture, but maybe he eventually realized that agriculture is unviable when using desalinated water because of the cost.

Clearly, something happened during the pandemic to make a lot of Californians decide it was time to move. Failures in crime, education and homelessness are the likely culprits. Crime rates have risen significantly since 2019, with homicides jumping an astounding 41 percent. Violent crime rates leveled off in 2022 in some areas but continued to increase in others.
