Chris Tavares once described the similar situation in MA where he said that everything was either "manditory or prohibited". Several years ago he moved to one of the more libertarian states.

Naaah. Liberalism is where the state wants control of your money, but leaves your personal freedoms alone. What is going on in the PRK is AUTHORITARIANISM, which includes socialism and fascism.

In case you haven't noticed, it's still a pretty popular place. If you spend all your waking hours making a fortune in the tech industry, who cares about civil rights?
Unfortunately, 99% of the population has no idea what you are talking about, when referring to that Amendment...which is the mindset, and lack of political awareness, that has slowly put us into this situation...sadly.
That's one good reson for living in KERN, and last month they had a launch of mod rocs at the Mojave spaceport for over 7,000 kids and plan on doing it yearly too.
Yes, and the FTB was successful in doing so because of errors on my part in maintaining home state residency requirements. If I interpret your question correctly, the long fight between military retirees and Kalifornia does not apply to me.
Well, the slide into the abyss has occurred while under the Amendment, its not likely to mitigate a trend which developed while it was in place. And its not just the PRK which is sliding. A repeal of the 17th, if its not already too late, would shift an enormous amount of power back to the States, where the designers of our government intended it to be in the first place.
Yeah, it would replace the FUD tactics of popular elections with the partisan bickering of a legislative nomination, but the Senators would not then be able to pacify their electorate with Federal aid promises and continue on with other agendas. The Senator's "re-elections" would be in the hands of those who, ostensibly, would expect actual results of real benefit to the interests of their State.
I realize this is off topic, sorry. It was late when I initially responded.
NO. 90% of the activities that formerly made this country great are impossible now.
Settlers heading out would need safety inspections on the wagons (to make sure they still meet the stringent standards under which they were manufactured.) They would have to demonstrate that their wagons were manufactured by appropriate minority companies; indeed, there would have to be the correct racial mix in the party itself. There would have to be enroute appointments with social workers to make sure children were not subjected to 'inappropriate" conditions.
If anyone was hurt or inconvenienced along the way, the entire operation would have to stay put for two or three years while the incident was investigated.
Imagine...if *water* was "discovered" today...it would never get approved for human use. If too hot, it can seriously burn someone... if too cold, it can actually kill someone (getting conked on the head by a huge icicle, or block of ice)...if "snorted", it can definitely kill someone...if left standing and/or untreated, it can be a breeding ground for infectious "nasties", which can kill someone...etc.

I can understand California's concern about wildfires. They have a terrible time every year with fires,people lose lives and a lot of property is destroyed.
I would support a clear revision to the State Fire Regulations to remove the requirement to get permission from the property owner for public lands. Of course, all parks and sports complexes require EVERYONE who is holding a group activity to file for a "Use Permit". This applies to large picnics, organized ball games (not spur of the moment games), etc.
