CalLaw is a fabulous resource for California legal issues.  The link below is the search I did on the site specifically for your question.  Just keep in mind it isn't free!  However, you can use the case names as a jump-off for further internet searches.

This is another opinion question - there is no definitive answer. However, I think it's California for it's weather, scenery, diverse population, culture, access to ports, and liberal-leaning politics.

California then NY amd then Texas, which has been in third for years and it will remain third only cause it is mostly farm and ranch land.  country that is.  Unless Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, keep growing.  It has always been close between NY and Cal.

They need illegal aliens in Utah. Or so they think. Californians have taken advantage of the high price of houses in CA compared to the low price of houses in Utah. Many have sold their California homes and bought homes in Utah (paying cash), and Utah is desperate to get low wage workers to build, dig, pave and serve french fries to the new residents of Utah. Wait 'til they start reproducing and flooding the schools 'til they are overcrowded and failing, the abusive free use Emergency Rooms are shutting down the hospitals and they start marching through their shiny Mormon streets on El Día de los Muertos with skeletons and caskets. They'll be singing a different tune...I give them 3-5 years to start whining.

I think the biggest issue is poverty.  It also affects everyone everyday.  A lot of the healthcare problems are because of it.  People who are not poor are paying for the people who are.

I think there are some pretty heated issues dividing the state - and people are fighting for the representation that represents those ideals... so it just goes to show how Californians really feel. Strongly on both sides!\n\nMore specific to your question, Californians have their presonal extreme views and that will create a balance at the top - as they flex their voting power.  And that is the funny thing about watching the rest of the country say California is "Democrat".... because we usually have such a strong show from both sides.

easy—california\n\nsay what you want about it, but there's something for everyone. if you want sunny weather, you got it. if you like skiing and the outdoors, go to the sierra nevadas. There are big cities, small towns, the ocean, forests. Too liberal? not so, we have a republican governor, and there are some intensely conservative areas.\n\nnew york is fine, but no one ever stays who's not from there. people come to california and fall in love.

Los Angeles, California. I'm conflicted about what's best about it. It's either (a) the weather or (b) the fact that it's very, very blue state.

California does not have "classes" of felonies, so I don't know where you're getting that idea.  \n\nAs to the rest of your question, you're not going to be able to get a decent answer here without posting an awful lot more details than you have.  There are just too many things that can make a difference, and there's no way to address them with what you've posted here.
