Calif is the supreme nanny state.
You can not open a business without permits with fees and a number of agencies watching your every move.
Each of these agencies need money to operate so they get taxpayer funds. very few pay for themselves.
Have a business with a restroom and the mirror is 1/4 inch to high you can be sued.
this is even though there is no state rule on the height that the mirror has to be.
Clearing the weeds out of your yard and cut the wrong weed and you can be sued.
Have a valuable mineral on your property and want to mine it the state will tell you just get the right permits.
Spend a million dollars on getting the permits and the state will give you a million reasons why you will never get the permits approved. Or tell you
that you will have to wait 10 years for them to do studies on some endangered rat that may or may not be on your property.
When running a business under a permit and shut down the part of the business that needed the permit and required water testing. the state can come
back 5 years later and claim you have not been testing the water even though the test were not required by the permit once that part of the business
was shut down.(16 to 1 mine V state water board)
Its come to the point that to run a one person business with no employees you have to hire a law firm just to protect your self from the state.
This has driven many business out of state. along with the businesses went the taxes they were paying and the taxes there employees were paying.
You don't even have to live in or have a business in calif. sell something on E-Bay and and 5 years from now the state of calif may have filed a tax
lien on you with your state for not collecting sales tax on sometime you sold.
