SAN FRANCISCO - The cityscape resembles the surface of a distant planet, populated by a masked alien culture. The air, choked with blown ash, is difficult to breathe.
There is the Golden Gate Bridge, looming in the distance through a drift-smoke haze, and the Salesforce Tower, which against the blood-orange sky appears as a colossal spaceship in a doomsday film.
San Francisco, and much of California, has never been like this.
California has become a warming, burning, epidemic-challenged and expensive state, with many who live in sophisticated cities, idyllic oceanfront towns and windblown mountain communities thinking hard about the viability of a place many have called home forever.

Monica Gupta Mehta and her husband, an entrepreneur, have been through tech busts and booms, earthquakes, wildfire seasons and power outages. But it was not until the skies darkened and cast an unsettling orange light on their Palo Alto home earlier this week that they ever considered moving their family of five somewhere else.
"For the first time in 20-something years, the thought crossed our minds: Do we really want to live here?" said Mehta, who is starting an education tech company.
It would be difficult to leave. They love the area's abundant nature and are tied to Silicon Valley by work and a network of extended family members, who followed them west from Pittsburgh. But Mehta says it is something she would consider if her family is in regular danger.
"Yesterday felt so apocalyptic," Mehta said. "People are really starting to reconsider whether California has enough to offer them."

U.S.—A lot of people have been curious as to where people associated with Donald Trump live, so they can march on their houses with torches and pitchforks and have a civil conversation with them about politics. They're just trying to be neighborly, and we really sympathize with that impulse. So we started looking into it so we could release our own m …

Writing on his Facebook page Saturday, Ciccone accused the gay community of being "sore winners" in the battle for same-sex marriage and said it hypocritical of them to force Kim Davis to violate her religious beliefs:
