The government of California does whatever it wants, and so does the Rust shooter; those trees are probably fated. You live there? Move. You don't have to be bossed around and disappointed in Texas.
I got out 25 years ago. California is just not the California I grew up in anymore. My poor brother is stuck there because his wife won't live anywhere else and she doesn't care that the state is falling apart all around them. He would be out of there in a heartbeat but he loves his wife and kids and grandkids.
