Unfortunately none of those areas are shielded/immune from the extreme left progressive political policies which are serving to drive away the middle class.
I'm going to keep reminding you guys that the state is so much more than the coast. There is a mindset from people outside of the state that California is just the coast. My backdrop is the Sierra Nevadas. I can see the Coastal Range too. I can be in Yosemite in an hour. I've got fishing, white water rapids, hunting.. all manner of outdoor activities in my backyard and we vote red. You have to get outside of the LA & Bay Area bubbles to see what the state really is. Once you do that you'll have a very different impression. Otherwise you've been manipulated by Hollywood and marketing efforts. Not all coastal areas are these liberal enclaves that get forced down your throats. But that is what is promoted.
Watch this video. We go here every year and it's not quite 90 minutes away. We can ski here too. It's absolutely amazing and a total getaway from the city. Come and see the real California. Skip the tourist traps.

Figgy, I’m not sure we’re arguing the same things here.
Noone is making the claim (at least I haven’t) that the entirety of California is physically looking like the streets of Los Angeles or San Francisco.
The point I’ve been making is the state politicians in California are making it only harder and harder for the middle class to thrive there any longer.
Now if you’re making the point that Sacramento political decisions is having no financial impact on these areas and your average middle class families then that’s a different discussion.
But noone (that I’m aware of) is saying that you’re gonna find dazed and drug-addled people relieving themselves in the roads leading up to Yosemite or along a sidewalk in Oakhurst.
