A wish list of what could be done, by executive order, if one of the Republican candidates had courage. Yet they are probably only cowardly lions...

The problem with “lowering taxes” is that high taxes, and they are horrendously high, isn’t the biggest reason California has a punitive cost-of-living. Saying you’ll “lower taxes” is the irresponsible trope that Republicans and their billionaire backers (who, by the way, have now largely abandoned them) have been saying for decades. With Republicans, all we end up with is taxes increasing at a slower rate, while deficits increase at a faster rate. That’s our choice. It’s a false choice.
The biggest problem is not taxes, it’s regulations. Excessive regulations are the reason housing costs so much. Excessive regulations are the reason utility rates are so high. Excessive regulations are the reason good jobs are leaving California.

No the two biggest problems in California are taxes and excessive regulations followed by a sanctuary state policy that assigns illegal ALIENS more rights than American citizens and a broken judicial system.
