Take the 100% renewable energy standard. As @leahstokes has written, these policies often fail in practice. I note our leadership on renewable energy in the piece, but the kind of politics we see on housing and transportation are going foil that if they don't change.

This mostly seems like an incoherent jumble of "Things Ezra likes"/ "Things Ezra doesn't like." You're calling on _other_ _people_ to make sacrifices that don't feel like sacrifices to _you_. I happen to agree with most of what you're calling for; problem is, your arguments suck.

Ezra, have you read California Crack-Up? How Reform Broke the Golden State and How We Can Fix It? by Joe Mathews and Mark Paul. Pub'd in 2010. This book ID's much of what ails CA, IMO.
