CA politicians have all the time in the world to enact 1000s of useless laws like this, but god forbid they try to actual solve real problems like homelessness, crime, $6.50/gallon gas, and other important issues. But ya, to me, I blame democrats, they vote for the same party over and over and somehow expect different results! Definition of stupidity. How can anyone vote for useless politicians? Pelosi has been in office since like 1960s, she’s worth $120,000,000.00.

They need it quiet in CA so they can hear all the moving vans leaving the state

I'm sure you already know Chicago isn't a beacon of perfection

Not to get political but it's interesting seeing where people are flocking to.

The new 400Z manual version will be fitted with a quieter exhaust than the auto version due to California sound limits.

just another means to crush the ICE in CA. like most things, we'll probably see this sound limit lowered and lowered over time to snuff out that 'miserable' ICE automobile. i'd be surprised if the UK didn't have something like this in place already also.

this simple fact should be enough for any logical person to demand term limits for congress and wipe out the 'lifer' politician.

that accumulation of wealth while holding public office your entirely life is absurd. no idea why this is tolerated so - no one ever holds to a promise, so it's all just wishful thinking on the voters part.

it makes me sick she was born in baltimore, like me. what a disgrace for baltimore.

it’s beyond absurdly insane how this could happen. But simple fact is, people don’t care, they vote for the same party and it’s members over and over again, like Pelosi l, but I don’t understand why, how? And unfortunately our media is 99% controlled by the left, so they won’t make a stink about this crap and hide everything, like Hunter Biden. When you have no fair and balanced media, you have no fair results in elections

politicians will never make a rule to limit their own future.

Interesting that they are going for noise pollution with cars, At least we got rid of plastic straws and kept all the homeless in place that keep our crime rates high, start massive fires underneath freeway bridges and next to businesses/homes.

and im a life long Californian lol.

if you recall the 992 GT3 manual sales were "held up" due to out of date Ca sound regulations that the manuals could not pass, so PAG had to come to an agreement with the Ca with regard to this in order to enable sales:

Probably some corporation behind it who will foot the installs and take 2/3rds of the revenue. I don't care, it will take about a week for the "cameras" to show up on Waze so I can go into "quiet" mode...

For those that bash CA you may want to read some of the positives. It, by far, is the most productive state in the US and if it was a county it economy would be the 5th largest in the world...

Bunch of other articles on google if you are interested.

ps. Don't live there and don't want to...

China has a big economy too, but I wouldn't want to live there.

California isn't going to get better. I grew up there, lived in the Bay Area, LA and San Diego. Moved in '98 to Portland. Moved again most recently to Boise. When what happened to CA and OR happens here, I'll move again.

No argument there...George Ryan, Dan Rostenkowski, Rod Blagojevich, Jesse Jackson Jr...the jails are littered with IL politicians. Wikipedia lists them in alphabetical order, haha. Corruption, graft, scandal runs rampant in these parts.

That being said, the cost of living is not unreasonable for a large city, and many suburbs have nationally ranked school systems. State taxes are a flat 5% and shockingly Pritzker's referendum for a tax hike "focusing on the millionaires and billionaires" last year failed miserably. I have little doubt that CA would have passed such a measure-
