Arguably one of the best states in the United States:
Where'd you live? Impressions? Thoughts, etc.. on California. |

| Coastal California is perhaps the best place on Earth. Great people, great univesities, great wine and fine dining, great music, and a whole bunch of other things, too. |

Hey, hey, HEY! There's something seriously wrong with your map, friend. Monterey, my adopted hometown, isn't labeled.
I concur with Gopher except on the wine thing. I don't drink alcohol. |

alright! another reason my state is great and everyone should visit! just another day will be in the midwest instead!
spent 23 years in san diego - kind of wish i had moved up coast for university, but being 18-20 while living near the border was a fun time.
insanely, i have never been to san francisco, even with repeat visits up north to chico and sacramento. along with chicago and boston, it's on my list of cities i need to visit when i get back. |

boston is great. its great for mexicans especially. they love mexicans there.
chicago is a great city to live in, if you are an educated black guy dating a white woman. |

| Beaches, forests, wetlands, mountains, rivers, deserts, snow, metropolises for all political leanings . . . we got it all. However, I do lament the severe lack of tropical atmospheric conditions. We need ourselves some jungle! *sigh* |

California sucks.
California has to pay $80 billion every year in federal taxes to other states. Namely the midwestern states.
This is a form of communism, subsidizing poorer states.
This is why California should be independent. Along with Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington state.
Texas can split off too and do their own thing.
Its perfect.
It would be awesome once a grip of mexicans move to boston, and people in boston start moving to europe. |

I lived in San Francisco for a year. But once I went to San Diego for a couple months and realized it was yet another very cool city with a great beach, then that was it for me.
Would love to get back to California again, and somewhere like a San Diego would be nice.
San Luis Obispo...I drove through it once, and liked it. Didn't get a good feel of it based on a nice lunch and then back on the highway. It sticks in my mind though, does anyone else have much to say about it?
Also Pasadena. I read somewhere recently they are trying to give it an urban feel with an actual downtown (or something to that effect). I always imagined everywhere around Los Angeles was that suburban car-culture highway feel. Are there pockets that are different from that? |
