Outside of California, where else to find "Cali Vibes" as they say (house, live)

In my experience, the places outside of California with the most “Cali Vibes” are Arizona and Washington. Arizona obviously doesn’t have a coast, but in terms of people, huge California transplant presence and general feel of inland Cali (obviously minus the beach culture), Arizona feels very Cali-like. Again, there are also so many people from California living in AZ so that gives it a “Cali Vibe.” Washington State also feels very Northern Cali to me in its vibe. Also a good amount of Cali transplants there too.
Nah, not even close.
My primary home is in Washington state and I have a home in Arizona.
California was a special place in the 1960's. Those days are long, long gone.
These days there is NOTHING good about a "Cali Vibe". BTW, nobody I know calls it Cali....you must be a transplant.
You really can't. Climate-wise, you'd have to leave the continent altogether, and I'd say that plays at least a small part in what shapes our culture. What other places have that "wild west" vibe?

I was going to say-you need three major elements to coincide-ocean beach, warm weather, and tall mountains to even begin this quest.
I think people really downplay how Texan Austin is because it leans left and has tech. It has UT, Longhorns Football, BBQ, TX hill country and blackland prairie landscape, Texas like suburbs and infrastructure, the state capitol, taco trucks, Tex-Mex. I could go on and on but Austin is a Texan city and doesn’t really remind me much of California other than tech (and I like it that way). Even the liberalness in Austin has a Texan feel to it (Austin isn’t the only left leaning area in Tx). Also most of the transplants in the city are not from California but from Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. I’d be willing to argue that Collin County gives me more of a California vibe than any other place in the state as it seems similar to Orange County without the beautiful scenery.
I think it's an unanswerable question because there's not one set of Cali vibes. San Diego has different vibes than LA, both have very different vibes than the Bay Area and all of those are different from the central valley or the Sierras or the north coast or the desert. It's a huge state with a very diverse setup, and even within something like the L.A. metropolitan area different areas can have hugely different 'vibes'.
I agree with this. There’s not really a singular “cali vibe” imo as there are so many places in that state that feel so different.
