the best state ever. it's not exactly like new york - big city yes, but no new england culture or street vendors. (except those hispanic people selling ice cream or those weird tomato chips.) there are a lot of different ethnic groups of people.
in so cal we have the valley (valley girls) and lotsa gangsta people down south. then there are the party people with their weed & acid, those bad things...but don't get me wrong theres lots of cheesy people ....every state has its losers.
there's the beach, the valley, the ghetto places, beverly hills (those rich people), hollywood, and those really camping/mountain-ish places up north. there's also palm springs, the desert.
WEATHER: yeah the summers are hot. compared to the east coast, our winters are pretty weak.
despite common misconceptions, not everyone in california is blonde or surfer.
plus we have the governator.

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.

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.

A state that gets a lot of anger from everyone.
No, it's not entirely full of liberals. And not all of us are proud about our governor.
The smog is horrible, driving through LA takes two hours, Hollywood is full of homeless people, the beaches are freezing, and no, not everyone is like the OC.
Those of us who live in Southern California in the suburban areas are privledged, leaving a lot of people very ignorant about the rest of the world. A lot of pathetic child actors, such as in La Canada, home to Hannah Montana, those kids from Everyone Loves Raymond, and The Sixth Sense kid.
There is a lot of immigration, making it a very diverse place to live. And there are homosexuals, too. Big suprise. In fact, CA is incredibly diverse, which leads, in some cases, to less intolerance.
We also have TONS of forest fires, due to the lack of rain. In So Cal, there is rarely rain, and never snow. And the sky is brown over LA from smog.
The OC isn't life. We don't all party in Mexico with our friends and boyfriends. I did, but I was building a home for the poor.
California has a couple of things going for it, though.
We have In 'N Out. It's amazing.
We do have beaches, and mountains, deserts and forests. That's kind of cool.

Person 1: I want to go to California and make my way as an actress!
Person 2: I want to be like those hot kids in the OC!
Person 3: I want to swim all day, and meet movie stars!
CA Person: Yah. I can't breathe because of the ashes and smog.

I live in California. I don't surf, I hate rap music, I went to LA once, and it sucked, Hollywood is overrated, the weather is NOT perfect, I only went to the beach once in my life and I hated it, YES, the governor sucks, no, not all the people are "hot" (thats total bullshit. People always say the people are ALL hot whenever they write a definition about their state.), the schools were good until Arnold(governor) went and took all the money; there are hicks here, there are PLENTY of stupid people, but an equal amount of intelligent people as well, I have lived here all my life, and have only felt two earthquakes, and California isn't going to sink into the ocean anytime soon. However, if you look past all this, California really isn't all that bad of a place to live. It just takes the most shit from other states.
