What's wrong with California?

I think this Chronicle Two Cents (public opinion about an issue) Article pretty much articulates what I hate about Californians in general, and San Franciscans in particular.

It's an opinion piece- "Have you ever used the carpool lane illegally?" It appears that nearly everyone has, but everyone has the same excuse- "I HAD to- I was late for something important."
In California, personal development- whether that's intellectual, spiritual, career, or physical- trumps all sense of civility. I would have done something for the greater good/ for you/ kept a promise/commitment/ abided by the law, but something that I felt like doing more came up so you really can't blame me.

People are so used to this attitude that they don't even see it as wrong. Which is just another reason California is the most selfish place on earth.
