Did you read the article? It was very short. The very first paragraph says what I stated, it leads in mass shootings. Lower death rate with guns was not my statement. 

QOL is not rated low due to only social and environmental factors. it mentions it takes those 2 factors into consideration and there is no one on earth that would suggest the environment is bad in California. Its still called one of the most beautiful places and one of the best climates. QOL being so low is due to a lot of other factors, some mentioned in the other rankings, one of them being that while it has the most money due to the big tech giants that are there, the opportunity is also one of the lowest, cuz as mentioned before, that money does not trickle down and the elites live in gated communities while the middle class vanishes and massive poverty strikes the state. 

California leads in mass shootings when you don't account for population. Which is one of the stupidest ways to compare different areas. If I told you China had 8 mass shooting in 2018 and Belgium had 7 would you really just say "welp that's interesting, China had the most mass shootings, they need to get their shit together" and move on with your day?

From your article: "With another mass shooting in California, number 19 since 1984, the state leads the nation in most deaths from these kinds of violent killings—but only because it is by far the most populous state."

It's no. 20 in economic opportunity, the reason opportunity in general is so low is because of affordability. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/california

So were gona have to put buts and exceptions then? ok. then illegal immigrants are the most violent and do the most crimes if you account for per capita  do you agree with that?

Again, with the affordability, with california leading the way in social programs, how is affordability the worst than any other state?
