I'm not sure if many of these are really good things, certainly not "recreational" marijuana, but in any case they do cost money. And I think it is highly ironic to praise "pro-privacy" legislation of a state that is the home of Google, Facebook and their ilk.

For disclosure, moved from Chicago to San Jose ~4 years ago, moved to ATX over the past month, and could not be happier. Well, may be if going back to Chicago, but ATX is more convenient for family reasons anyway.
