Why don't people who find la, the Bay Area, or San Diego expensive move to smaller California coastal towns instead of s (San Francisco: living, activity)

Not as often because the northern coast gets tons of rain.

Maybe that is why people don't want to move to a soggy climate.

Isn't that soggy. It rains just a wee bit more than the Bay Area plus right now it's 80 while everywhere on the coast is 90-100

Make your mind up. Either you get lots of rain or only a wee bit more.

You get enough rain to prevent wildfires. That's all that really matters.

So it rains a lot in the summer? We got a ton of rain over the winter but none in the summer.

If there's enough water in the ground it can keep trees healthy and resistant to fires vs dead/dying dry trees in the sierras.

It is not just trees that burn, plus there is a nasty fire in Trinity county now.

That's inland. Doesn't get as much rain.

Yet Arcata is only a stone's throw from Eureka. Lovingly referred to as EurTweaka (occasionally pronounced you're-a-tweaka). If there was any meth HQ, it would be Eureka.
