California is amazing and well worth living in. Within a half a days drive I can be at the beach, the mountains, the snow, the desert, the redwood forests, and countless other places.
Sure we are now dealing with fires once a year, but we don’t deal with tornadoes, or hurricanes or tropical storms, or blizzards.
The politics don’t bother me whatsoever, I’m progressive and I will leave it at that since politics shouldn’t be discussed on here.
The only other state I would consider living in is Oregon, California rules and I hope to live here forever.
