Too much discussion on California wildfires focuses on climate change and not enough on the fact that our most populous state is mostly invisible in national politics because of the structure of the Senate and the Electoral College
I want to understand more about how regional planning and zoning works in CA, from a legal perspective. A lot of the biggest obstacles stem from places like Palo Alto having veto power over land use

My point is that people talk about CA like it’s a rich liberal state because it IS a rich liberal state. The misery inflicted by its cost of living is the result of its own policy choices, not the lack of federal electoral representation.

Leaving aside the veracity of this claim (which I dispute), it's also a non-sequitur. The state should have equitable Federal representation because we are a democratic country.
