There is nothing to be done about it, I don't think that voters on either side of the aisle are very sophisticated in voting, just look at the mayor of NYC or the governor of your state, IMO too many people simply vote the party line without understanding the consequences of their votes.. To answer your question, no, I am not happy to see the influx into the state, the nature resources of this state such as water is already a concern and much of the infrastructure can not be expanded to meet the new demands such as roads and bridges. Even recreational areas that used to be enjoyed for natural beauty are over crowded and no longer can be utilized as they previously could.

Edit... Your economy is something that you in CA like to brag about and in some ways I have to concede it is impressive, but is it really improving the lives of the people of CA? You have problems that your economy has done nothing to fix such as housing and a poverty gap that is worse than anywhere else in our nation. CA leads the country in the percentage of population living below the poverty line.
