What California cities have you been to where the people were the most friendly?

None of these. Big cities in CA and friendly do not go in the same sentence.

Santa Rosa and Petaluma were not listed, unfortunately. Sonoma County's the friendliest county in California, or at least much friendlier than anything to the south.

Nowhere in Southern California is friendly, at least outside of rural Santa Barbara County.

Default Los Angeles has the worst people on the planet

Most of the cities in this list are suburb cities part of Southern California and Orange County. NO ONE in Los Angeles is nice. No one in any of these cities are nice. You left out quite a bit of other choices in California for some reason so you must not know California. As a Los Angeles native I can confirm and warn you that L.A. is filled with the rudest, most disconnected, out of touch people on the planet. They are soulless people that move about like angry lifeless robots. There is nothing good about them at all. Zero friendliness. They are full of grouchiness and anger. It’s no wonder L.A. has the most singles in America according to statistics. They can’t even be with each other they have so much hatred and disdain. I’ve visited San Francisco and people were nicer there I noticed, but I was just visiting so that might not count. Didn’t have a problem while there. In Palm Springs I noticed they were friendly too, but may not be so much anymore now that LA people now go there in droves to bring their rudeness to that city too. I would not recommend L.A. at all. The problem is there are always new people constantly moving there with dreams of whatever. It isn’t long before they become like the jaded cold rude rest of L.A. they become soulless, empty, and permanently unhappy as well too. Rich coastal areas are also rude and have the addition of snobbery.

OK! Beachroad FINALLY settled it!

Took awhile. I suspect lots of careful deliberation. Can’t rush these things. But here we are. Indisputable. Thread closed!

I think we find the friendliest people wherever we feel the most comfortable and fit in the best. I grew up in south OC and had friends who moved to Los Angeles and found their niche and love it and have made many friends. I've only lived in coastal southern CA cities and find people friendly EXCEPT when driving but that goes for most places.

Well, takes one to know one I guess. With an attitude like yours I'm not surprised. Chill, dude.

I'm not invested enough in the disposition of strangers to take things personally, but I can't say I've encountered very many people here that I'd call unfriendly.

Also, just because a person doesnt want to engage in small talk doesnt make them rude.
