as if the natural beauty was what people allude to in California's failure

Which aspect of California, the world’s fifth largest economy and largest economic powerhouse in the entire nation, doubling the GDP of the next largest state economy, makes it a failure? 

An economy that is larger than India and the UK. An economy the country heavily relies upon for computers, entertainment, food, military defense, ports of trade, mobility, and so much more?

Abandon the rhetoric that’s being shoved down your throat by propagandists and think for yourself.

if you wait for a total collapse it'll be too late

you missed the point 

the stats you cite are lagging indicators 
the leading indicators are the rate of change of those stats (derivs)

if you wait for those stats to flip youve waited for total collapse 
if you look at their derivative you can detect where things are headed and course correct 

I'm not saying California has collapsed
I'm saying don't wait for the total collapse (by looking at lagging indicators) to speak up and course correct

What indication of total collapse are you seeing? Provide genuine insights and objective, empirical data — not anecdotes about homelessness if you want to convince.
