I agree. It's even better when you stay away!

Dave's difficult. It's refreshing that he admits it though.

Everyone says the weather, and yes the weather is tops. It is very easy to take it for granted but it also should be examined a little further. You can have the ideal SoCal weather, sure. But you can also have mountain snow or desert heat. Want to shoot the rapids on a kayak, water ski on a fresh water lake? How about the unlimited ocean activities? Mountain climbing, all the way from vertical granite climbs like El Capitan in Yosemite or an abundance of trail climbing all over the state. Look at a map and see how many state and federal parks make up the state.

If that is not enough, how about all the different cultures in the state? Want to learn a new language? It is here in this state, learn the language, and there is a village here waiting to share their culture with you.

The universities are top ranked here, public and private.

If money is your goal, there is opportunity to make quite a bit here.

What's so great about California? I would say quite a bit.

Weather, hardly any bugs...never see a mosquito. Energy is high...lots of SUN. No humidity to speak of.

As someone told me years ago when I was still in my youth and enjoying it all.

California is a State of Mind.

But don't move here, too crowded now.

Maybe "hardly any bugs" or you "never see a mosquito" in Santa Monica.
It's a big state.

The State is great (The land mass), it is the people that create the problems.
