There's a certain smell of absurdity in the air in California. Ban on plastic straws - garbage on highway shoulders on 280 and 101 in San Francisco county Strictest car emission laws in the Union - fires poison the air to the extent that people die, equivalent to multiple involuntary cigarettes per day This list can go on and on. Those working for large companies like Google and Apple are protected for now: like in the fortresses. If you are trying to strike here on your own- probably too late- no affordable garages anymore. Maybe it's a consequence of one party system? I came here in 1999 to go to Stanford. Perhaps it's time to pack up.
