In all the places I’ve ever lived, one of the secrets I found is that there’s always some very cool, unique things about my new home but it takes a local native, to show them to you. I’m not interested in “access to things”. I can drive and find them but…those in the areas you’re referring to, will never discover the hidden secrets in rural areas.

Not on the fed or state level, but I think we’re going to see cities getting more aggressive because the leaders are clearly frustrated with people ignoring shelter-in-place. I do know some citations have been handed out for people not respecting the 6 foot rule for social distancing.
There aren’t a whole lot of unconventionals in CA. Are you confusing unconventional with conventional? Only in unconventional does fracking come into play. ND has far larger reserves in the unconventionals than CA.
ND is fracking because they have lithologies that demand it. California has far more conventional plays and limited unconventional reserves. Total reserves in CA are about a third of ND and most of CA’s reserves are conventional.
