Right on the money! I have noticed a tendency on the Right to ignore "states' rights" when it comes to Blue states doing something they don't like. But that's a price we have to pay, if we want to live in a federal system ... where the benefits outweigh the costs.
There is another aspect as well. This may sound a bit cynical, but ... we want to give the Left as much rope as we can, in the states they control. Let them pass a law in California mandating that every Black resident be given five million dollars and a free house. Let them pass laws defunding ... hell, dis-arming ... the police. We want all sensible people to leave these states and flee to the Red States. Lenin never actually said, "The worse it is, the better it is," but he could have, and in such a situation as we are now ... rapidly approaching the end of the civilization built by our ancestors ... the more our side is geographically concentrated, the better. So the worse the Blue states become, the better it is for the people who believe in civilization. It's a fortunate coincidence that federalism is also is one of our civilized principles. Like the Quakers, we can do well by doing good.

Other states should have some redress of CA due to increased cost.
The price of pork will go up all over the country. Tx shouldn't be forced to pay more due a vote in CA.
CA has driven an increase in the cost of cars for the whole country.
