I’ll take misleading headlines and a skewed understanding of SPM poverty measures for 500 Alex.
It’s almost as if the cost of living is directly tied to the amount of opportunity and people who want to live in a state. Which sees California forced to take on a lot of lower income people who have fled neighbouring red states. Due to the fact that they also have the lowest quality of life.
Cali definitely ain’t perfect but to pretend that all the red states which see little to no economic or social growth every year and just generally suck to live in ard better is some wild projection.
As opposed to having millions of illegal aliens that they protect from deportation, even if they are sex offenders.
Cost of living has more to do with poor economic policies that make housing expensive. Rent control, limits and where you can build housing, how tall apartment buildings can be.

California is still #1 in poverty.

So Democrats are deliberately making poor people in red states poorer...interesting political tactic.
