Also, CA is a huge state - as someone pointed out, you can fit the whole UK into CA with room to spare - and the differences between a super-rich Persian girl from Beverly Hills, a bottle blonde from Irvine, a chola from East LA, a vegan Cal student in Berkeley, a Vietnamese-American girl from Westminster, a surfer chick from San Diego, a bro-ho from the 909, a Christian farmgirl from Bakersfield, an educated black woman from Oakland, a hula-hooping hippie chick from Mendocino, a Chinese-American girl from San Francisco, a horse trainer from Angel's Camp, a semi-pro volleyball player from Newport Beach, and a hood chick from Compton are about as massive as the differences between a London woman who works in finance and lives in a posh flat, and a woman who lives on a farm in Doolin and everything between.
Okay I kind of forgot this was California, I was basing the women on los Angeles, but yes California defiantly is not on average kardashian now LA is. Hands down.

I just want to make a statement without voting. I went to London in September last year. It is perhaps my favorite city on earth, or at least, out of the dozens of cities I've been to. I live in San Diego and I cannot trade our micro-climates for UK living. Driving west to east in 20 minute intervals, I can experience coastal scenery and weather, inland scenery and weather, mountain scenery and weather, and desert scenery and weather. I don't think you can really do that anywhere else on earth.

Are you claiming London is typical of all UK climates?

I have the sea on my doorstep and mountains all around. No desert but don't feel I'm missing a thing.

California is superior in just about every aspect. Plus I can't stand the UK's climate.

Overall, the UK especially London. It's in my top 4 favorite cities in the world. As for women, there is something about the accent and the way the British women dress, and the classy/sophisticated vibe they put off that I find sexy.

You can do that in Australia. We have deserts, we have mountains, we have tropical savannas

I lived in California for 4 years, moved to London for a year, then moved back to CA for about 1.5 years. I now live in Hawaii. Since I've left London, I've wanted nothing more than to go back. That's right, I live in Hawaii and would still give it up in a heartbeat to move back to London.

California. The cities there are all very nice and the people are too. UK doesn't get enough sunshine.

You can't move to Australia freely. There's a lot of regulation about moving to Australia. It's very hard. But if I could then yes, I'd move to Sydney.
