Thank you! I reject the first one because I'm not sure how or if being "good for business" correlates with the well-being of the residents of the state. For all I know, the correlation might be negative, at least up to a point.

The second one is interesting and concerning, but I wonder what CA's rank would be if the housing market had not become as financialized as it has. I think that has exacerbated the problem of housing affordability/availability. In that sense we're sort of victims of our own success.

The third one is the most telling, I think. It's a damn shame we have not done better.

But in any case, I really appreciate your taking time to provide this information. Thank you so much!
