California is doing great in this regard[0]. In my opinion we're lucky to have Jerry Brown at the helm. If you have nice, boring elections, then you can get nice, boring people in leadership positions.

Most of that is because of demand for real-estate here, and because the weather brings homeless from states with crappy weather. It's not bad governing. It's not Brown's fault TX is humid.
