About 80 years ago, folk singer Woody Guthrie had this to say about living in California:
"California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see; / But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot / If you ain't got the do-re-mi," Guthrie wrote in a warning to Dust Bowl migrants that the cost of living in California was more than they could afford. https://www.wnd.com/2020/01/th....ousands-flee-blue-st
