It appeared to me that the closure was due to a negative consensus regarding living in the state, not infighting or inapproiate comments.
Exactly.

The comments may have had some political tones but only in as much as it directly affects a very important decision of where to live. You cannot totally exclude politics of an area from such a discussion as it very much impacts (particularly in California) your life like it or not! Even the most loyal Californian would have to admit that their states politics has made the state extremely expensive to live in. I don't hate California, it has what I consider some of the most beautiful scenery in the country (the Redwoods are really something) but I absolutely would not want to live there!
