        So three separate polls in WV show three different people leading the Republican Primary.

          Would LMAO if Blankenship wins. Will truly show where the Republican party is despite desperate media attempts to normalize that treasonous money laundering cult.

                            The right keeps talking about the higher costs like they mean CA is bad in some way. Higher costs in housing really means that everyone wants to live there...which means that that real people have voted that there is a noticeable better quality of life in CA based on pricing. So CA residents are spending increased incomes on quality of life. Not terrible. Saying CA is bad because its more expensive is like saying Amazon is bad because its stock is quite expensive but RJ Reynolds (Tobacco) is really cheap...CA just has better quality of life.
                            I'm not casting aspersions upon CA. I'm interested in the facts. If the states GDP is roughly 17.5% higher, and the COLA is 17.5% higher, then it's all a wash. It's a way to compare two situations to better understand the situation. Having the largest GDP isn't a guarantor of a higher standard of living. The US has the highest GDP in the world. That doesn't mean we have the highest standard of living.

                              True. And your general analysis has considerable merit.

                              Yet, I'm not sure that a wash as you state means a comparable standard of living to other locations either. Don't think a rural Mississippi wash of 20% lower GDP/capita and 20% lower cost of living...equates to a GDP/capita and cost of living wash you'd experience in coastal CA. Location, location, location.
