all you Florida people don't know anything, cus the reason why California is "so expensive" is because its a better place to live and one of the most desirable places to live in the world,because its really nice here, you got all you need and ever wanted, nice weather, beautiful beaches, mountains forests etc, oh and don't forget about the entertainment capitol of the world, and the OC, Florida has some really nice beaches, but.................. that's about it, so if you think you would like to live in a place where you gotta rebuild your house every year and live with bugs and live with fear of hurricanes all the time then go ahead and live in Florida, but if you want a simply perfect place then Cali is the place for you.

Those ones right there are the most true.
I love our Governator.
3-1-oh baby!!
Great story for the one about people treating you like a god. My mom and aunt got lost in Connecticut going to my cousin's wedding so they stopped at a gas station. The guy asked my mom where she's from and she said "Los Angeles." Immediately the guy calls to all his friends and hes like "THIS LADY'S FROM HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!" They were so excited to meet someone from here. Also, I took a campus tour of U of Washington since I'm applying there and when they asked people where we were from and I said LA, everyone looked at me in awe like I had just transformed into Pamela Anderson for guys and whoever you girls like for girls.
Stop sign? What's that? I've only seen red octagons that say slow.
Mmmm...Tito's Tacos, Baja Fresh, and El Tarasco
I <3 In N Out. AZ and NV are so lucky the border SoCal.
When there's no ocean in sight, I get completely lost. Well not in CA for some reason, but anywhere with no coastline for a miles outside of Vegas CA confuses me.
Pots illegal? I don't smoke, but that's a serious question. I seriously thought it was legal.
Those people speaking English must be two Mexicans taking English courses and are practicing.
So many people at my school pierce their ears now, it's crazy, guys too.
Oh, and no one from California calls it Cali... that's how we know you're not from around here.
Maybe you're not from California so I'm gonna excuse you for referring to yourself as cali4life. Why? Because that was an exemplary post. That was so real, it felt like I was there. I was there, man! Thank God I border my home state, otherwise, there would not be an IN-n-OUT down my street. Also, this would be the boring planet in this galaxy had it not have been for California. Can you imagine any other locale running the biz of what's hot and what's not? Gives me the shivers....brrrrr. Thanks for the true read!
milquetoast, just to let you know, i am from cali and i called myself cali4life cus everything else was taken so dont let the name throw you off, and also cus i was kinda mad at all the a holes from florida that kept talking trash on my home so........... yeah thats all "4" now
That is seriously the coolest things you could come up with? A beach, a shopping center, and some condo buildings?
In response to picture 1, yep we got nice beaches too, although not as warm.
We got some pretty "neat" condo towers too like in your second picture. Here are some in Marina del Rey.
And we have nice shopping centers too.

Do you have any other photos of Florida that may be more persuasive as to what Florida has that California doesn't. I just don't think those photos were that neat.
California looks cooler and has a much more varied climate/ landscape. If I would live anywhere else other then Florida it would be California.
Don`t like long periods of cold so most other states are out for me.
And for the poster that said Miami is better then any California city I find that hard to believe that Miami would have more to do then LA. Miami is cool but I am sure LA is better.
California definitely has a lot more to offer, but Florida has more of what I'm looking for, so I gotta go with FL.
