california

One of the most expensive places to live with out of control spending, development, and crime. It's a myth that you can drive from surf to snow in So-Cal, as it takes 45 minutes just access the freeway. Oh and forget about being neighborly or lending a helping hand on the highway. There are too many over stressed and whacked out soccer moms waiting to mow you down while trying get back to their stucco Monopoly Mansions.

And what's with all the palm trees? I've lived here all my life and to this day I can't figure out why someone decided to import these hideous things that don't even grow here (except the date palms in Coachella.

So, if you want to live in a state with no seasons, Santa Ana winds, wild fires, suffocating taxes, draconian gun laws, spineless law enforcement (Paris Hilton) "special emission standards", more people than Canada and where a 1100 sq ft 2bd house in an "ok" neighborhood will run about $400,000, then by all means, move here.

If you do, I've gotta bridge to sell you so I can make enough money to get the hell out.

Oh yeah, forget the beaches (save for central coast), they are either over run by asshat surfers and Bros who think they have exclusive rights to the ocean or, they've been bought up by rich celebs. So, maybe, if you are lucky, you can sit on the 91, 405, 55 for about 2-3 hours, pay 15 to park in space that took 30 minutes to find, then trudge a 1/4 mile to sit on the hot sand with 500,000 other people that had the same great idea on Saturday.

California sucks.

California Native: "Ive had it, another tax, another school bond, higher gas, I'm cashing in my $300,000 in equity. I'll buy a bigger house out of state and work half as much. See ya suckers!"
