One of the most expensive places to live with out of control spending, development, and crime. It's a myth that you can drive from surf to snow in So-Cal, as it takes 45 minutes just access the freeway. Oh and forget about being neighborly or lending a helping hand on the highway. There are too many over stressed and whacked out soccer moms waiting to mow you down while trying get back to their stucco Monopoly Mansions.
And what's with all the palm trees? I've lived here all my life and to this day I can't figure out why someone decided to import these hideous things that don't even grow here (except the date palms in Coachella.
So, if you want to live in a state with no seasons, Santa Ana winds, wild fires, suffocating taxes, draconian gun laws, spineless law enforcement (Paris Hilton) "special emission standards", more people than Canada and where a 1100 sq ft 2bd house in an "ok" neighborhood will run about $400,000, then by all means, move here.
If you do, I've gotta bridge to sell you so I can make enough money to get the hell out.
Oh yeah, forget the beaches (save for central coast), they are either over run by asshat surfers and Bros who think they have exclusive rights to the ocean or, they've been bought up by rich celebs. So, maybe, if you are lucky, you can sit on the 91, 405, 55 for about 2-3 hours, pay 15 to park in space that took 30 minutes to find, then trudge a 1/4 mile to sit on the hot sand with 500,000 other people that had the same great idea on Saturday.
California sucks.

Thank you, to all of you that can see through the sham that is California.
California does suck. I live here, so I can say it. The weather is horrible (Contrary to many beliefs). Its either 120 degrees out, below freezing, raining 5 inches a day, or muggy. Where I live, we get 70 inches of rain a year. And they say it rains to much in Seattle? (Ahem, 30 inches a year)
Most of the people here will give you the finger rather than help you, most of them drive like bats of hell, and if you dare look at them, don’t expect anything of a cold stair. We recalled a Governor, citing he was doing a bad job, then replace him with a Nazi who can speak and is making things worst!
We have horrible traffic, smog everywhere, lots of retarded surf bums, money mongering asses, and many people travel here in the summer, and piss and moan on how it wasn’t what they though. Well duh! A state with 34 million people crammed into it can only be disastrous.
And when I say that California sucks, I get glares, and boos, but I don’t give a fuck. Fuck them all, what do they know? If they cant see what a fucked up place we live in, they can let the San Andreas Fault open up and suck them in.
And speaking of earthquakes, we get hit all the time. It is so annoying, 4.8 here, a 5.5 there, then, bam! the big one 9.8, well, as soon as I turn 18, I am not sticking around to see it. I will be safely in Washington State, laughing and celebrating at the sight of California sinking into the pacific.
Fuck California And All It Stands For. And In 4 Years, While The Californians Will Be Getting Lung Cancer From Smog, Killed By Earthquakes, Or Criminals, I Will Be Out Of California, So Fuck You All.

Fuck California, Fuck Most The People Here, Fuck The Governor, Fuck Los Angeles, Fuck It All, It All Sucks, And If YOU Cant See It, Or Disagree With Me, Fuck You Too, Cause You Are A Fucking Moron.
Fuck It All, Fuck It All, Fuck It All.
Fuck It All, Fuck It All, Fuck It All.

well i'd have to say it's thee most diverse states in all of the u.s.a. extremely different, extremely fun, and extremely beautiful. to me l.a isn't really that great. to all you tourists i advise you to go to san francisco. there's wayy more culture and you can see soo many different walks of life. also it's much more beautiful and the ppl are wayy more laid bakc and fun.

Only the greatest state in the U.S. Hot girls, sunny weather, beaches, surfing, L.A., and people who actually care about their appearance. What more could you possibly want from a state? I'm moving there after I finish college. I've had enough of Illinois' cornfields and wide open spaces. Wish I lived closer to Chicago. California here I come!

California is building as many high fences as possible to keep all the Mexicans from illegally crossing. They would sacrifice their children's lives to keep illegal Mexicans from crossing.

I know you've seen the ads- your travel agent or that university recruiter has filled your head with images of beaches, palm trees, forests and a night life that's second to none. You need to ask yourself one question: why would they put so much effort into creating that image? Do you know of any other state that is so heavily marketed as a place you should go other than California?
Thought so.
The culture here is defined by belligerence, ignorance, narcissism, and apathy. If you ever leave the big cities, be prepared to be surrounded by inbred, racist/sexist, psycho-christian hillbillies. You heard me right- there are massive amounts of trailer trash hicks everywhere you go, they've just become good at hiding it.
And while you're stuck on the 10, 101, 215, 91, or the 60 Freeways with a raised up Bro-truck tailgating you all the way to work, surrounded by industry, warehouses, smog, boarded up buildings, graffiti, and strip malls, you will attempt to replace what you are actually seeing with what you *thought* you should be seeing.
California is a LIE. It's a dreamworld that doesn't exist. Oh, and trying to find a job here is next to impossible. Right now, we have the highest unemployment. Same thing with teen pregnancy rates.
Yeah, I'm some asshole on the internet, but I'd give anything to save another person out there who reads this the time, toil, trouble, and inevitable misery that will come from believing the "California Dream".

Palm trees and beaches? My apartment got broken into 3 times, that pot-bellied, white, middle-aged douchebag broke a window on my car because i asked him to quiet down in the theatre, and I now have lung cancer from the smog.
Thanks California!
Thanks California!
