We reached out to several consultants for commentary on the 2026 Site Selectors Survey.
Tracey Hyatt Bosman, managing director of Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Co., offered her analysis on why site selectors often label the Golden State as the worst business climate in the country. “California is a beautiful state with wonderful people,” she says. “It is world class in terms of technology, innovation and business startups. However, it is also undeniably high in bureaucracy, and the cost of housing is a challenge for retaining employees cost-effectively.”
Bosman adds that “it is important to recognize that California is an extremely large state and is not monolithic. There are areas where local governments work hard at being business friendly.”

She is a certified economic developer with twenty years of professional experience across a wide range of sectors, including data centers, manufacturing, headquarters, back office and contact center operations, and logistics.
