And I did read the others, and my question still stands. How does diversity of religion, sexuality, employment require more government?
Religion is something the state can't be involved in
Sexuality is, for the most part, similarly irrelevant (I'll grant you a few resources for enforcing discrimination codes--although not granting the need for those codes in the first place)
Jobs--so you need more regulatory agencies?
court translators--what's the Cal. judiciary's budget for this? What part of the state budget is that, %-wise?

If you have a given level of government regulation - say the same level of oversight that South Dakotans are comfortable with - the greater number of - what's the word I'm looking for - items? things? - in California to regulate will equal a more expensive government. We have to regulate freighter traffic in and out of the Port of Oakland, a problem SD does not face. We have to provide interpreters in our court systems for a wide variety of languages - a problem that SD faces to a far lesser degree, if at all. We have to employ many more wildfire suppression personnel than most red states do.
These are examples. Each individually does not seem to add much, but they illustrate my point - they do not, and are not intended to, comprise the total of it.
