I have and parts of it are a hellscape due to a local political system that is paralyzed by this idea that we can't forcibly lock up and treat the mentally ill. I wonder if it's just a matter of having so many, but I bet if a person was ranting and raving with no pants on in downtown Wichita they would be locked up. I am not blind to the problems in California. All I'm trying to say is that California is different from other states, some ways better, some ways worse, and speaking about California as different is not arrogant. I understand that it comes off that way if all I did was go on about how great it is. I'm not. California has big problems. Problems that may be coming to your state soon.
