Considering how much agriculture and manufacturing actually come out of California, this would have a substantial impact on the rest of the US. The California gdp is as much as in the top 5 gdp's in the world.

Shitload of people, the center of west coast shipping, agriculture, tech, hollywood. I mean the list goes on. The only reason I didn't move to California is the high cost of living.

There are lower cost of living areas away from the metropolitan hubs but yea cost of living anywhere close to a city is pretty high lol.
