SoCal
New York
NorCal

In that order for me if I was to split up CA. I don't know why but I feel this strong urge to move to LA. It honestly seems perfect. But then again I haven't been to the city in a year and I live in Queens. But I love the auto-centric lifestyle of LA, and how everything seems to be so new over there.

I guess I am going to disagree with some of the other posters here. If I was going to move to California it would to be to NORTHERN California which I find far more attractive than Southern California.

Now the Southern California coast is very attractive, and I like LA and San Diego. If I had the $$$ I certainly would not mind living in the Santa Barbara area and points north near the coast. But these good points are drowned out to me by the vast unattractive arid and semi-arid desert which lies to the east of LA. There are some good parts (like Joshua Tree) but I much rather have green rolling forest lands or even nice farmland in my state.

Thus to me: NYS and NoCAL both > SoCal.

I actually completely forgot it even looks like that, reminds me more of Oregon.

You have made your point sir, and you are right.

California for sure and SoCal tops the list.

Im not sure you can really top the climate/urbanity combo of SoCal anywhere in the US. The only city in the world that I think comes close is Sydney, Australia.

The Northeast tends to have a good balance with a stronger lean towards democrats.

Anyways, on subject: California is beautiful, but New York City alone makes New York more appealing to me than all of California and everything in it. Add in Long Island and it's nearly impossible to beat.
