They sell fireworks, you can walk around with an alcoholic beverage, they sell tons more OTC meds here than they do in Cali! You can buy back pills and things the liberals in Cali banned long ago. LOL... to name just a few things.
The local and state government harrass you and probe your anus about I'd say 20% of what California and LA does. You can get away with so much more shit down here, it is much more free than the liberal west in many ways.
I left Cali and within 60 days had the city of burbank threatening to lien on me because I sold a vehicle and the new owner got a parking ticket before he went to the dmv and it was still in our name. Just ridiculous shit.
but you could compare the south and the west all day... both have many positives and negatives in terms of liberalism.

California has a lot of great things going for it, but entitlements, unions and sanctuary cites are killing the state. State employee's retire with 95% after just 20 years. I'm not anti union, I have two union cards. I live in redding california, they spent 23 million dollars on a glass walking bridge, the state is run by idiots and we keep electing them, I still can't believe Boxer won and Brown won, I guess no one has a memory.
Registering vehicles has always been a mess, you even have to register the ones that don't run and are sitting behind the house waiting for when you have time to fix something. Many people here drive to Oregon to buy big ticket items to save on the taxes.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
