California is a State where businesses are leaving at a faster rate than new ones are starting. Regulation and bureaucracies make doing business extremely difficult; water is very expensive and the supply from the Bay area has been cut to save a couple of fish that need the water more than people do. Expect water costs to double in the next five years; I am appealing my water district's increased rate plans, at this time. Initially, they planned to double this year, and triple for agriculture here.
If you make a profit, you will have to share it with the State in taxes and all kinds of regulatory fees. If you want to burn cash, you might have a better chance of being successful doing it in Alaska. I'm not kidding. Try it in Mexico; their corruption is limited, if you provide jobs. California doesn't care if they wipe out all jobs and the citizens. If they are saving the planet from people, it's worth it.
