Why the poor and middle class cant afford things?

Well living in Texas makes everything affordable.

I know I really appreciated those $70 bags o' pot (back, in '96....when Lil' Dumbya Bush was Governor) in Austin....after paying $100, for the same, for so many years, in Boulder County, CO.​

California is kind of screwy in that the people have a large say in the government through referenda. When these referenda gain enough signatures to get on the ballot they vote yes. This generates a monetary burden on the government, but when it comes to paying for these multitudes of services they vote no on taxes. California is left with big bills with no revenue.

California is broken by more than just the San Andreas fault.

The love of money has done more to keep the Democrat party in power than any other sin in the book. There is no telling how many Americans voted Democrat in spite of the immorality but because of some hope of financial security or enrichment.
