(1) Where people have no use for people.
Being from supposedly "rude" New England myself, after 20 years I still continually hear stunned CA natives who find folks elsewhere really do say "hi" on the street, talk to and even help strangers, lest remember them.
Granted the weather and nature (and I don't mean the women) here are unparalled. Yet other states have "distractions"; so why is this?
(a) Size and diversity.
(b) Not enough fires and 'quakes to bring people together.
(c) Gang-inspired fear of literally everyone else.
(d) Hollywood materialism.
(e) An I'm-here-for-my-dream, whatever that is, mentality.
This phenom is especially So-Cal.
(2) A culture without culture.
Unless culture means a surfboard or evangelism. Applies mostly to So Cal - for however gay and liberal, No Cal'ers, like New Englanders, take pride in local history, and do go to their hub city to enjoy it. L.A. also has history, museums, etc., but is worth the traffic and possibly a bullet? Most dont' think so or care to know.
(3) A great place to visit; a better one to leave. And it's not all Sacramento's fault. The baby-boomers and Prop 13ers said NIMBY to lower-cost housing before, knowing clutter and our crop-growing Mexicans lower property values. Many of their Young and Restless from a pathetic school system are now trying to keep up with the Joneses, buying SUVs and marrying real estate at the cost of family and sanity. The old, disabled, and clued-in have little choice but to look elsewhere. As do I.
Life does exist on other planets.
(1) Our local paper no-kidding advertises, "It really is all about YOU." And many who slog between their home, work, and restricted social bubbles really believe it.
(2) At least S.F. had a city festival for Y2K. All L.A. did while the world went nuts was light up the Hollywood sign, with people collecting water and canned goods in case the banks went down.
(3) Rents for studio to 2 BD: $900 to $1200 along the beach, which realtors and landlords have defined as the entire coast from S.F. to Tijuana and an hour inland. This is second year in a row that despite growth from within, more people have left California than arrived.

"honest tolerance for your individuality and deep appreciation for diversity"
unless it differs from theirs in the slightest (see hypocrisy) then they'll attack you with slurs
Californian tolerance;a savage hypocrisy

Where the rest of America wipes their asses.
The only state where you have to worry about the color you wear!
The place you go to get drugs, ugly hookers, uneducated drop-outs, illegals, and a $10 pack of cigarettes.
Perfect for the idiotic losers and outsiders who think they can get a celeb neighbor and a free ticket to the red carpet.
Fuck California and everyone there, I hope you and your ugly ass Governor who can't speak English all fall into the Pacific.
Oh, and to the Californians who are staring blankly at your monitors, that's AN OCEAN.
Californian: i'm an idiot. plain and simple.

The best state, in many peoples' opinions, in the US. You'll find beaches, snowy mountains, green valleys, and the hot desert all in one state: California. Divided into two parts, known as "Socal" and "Norcal". Socal is usually where people not from California think of the state. You got San Diego, Los Angeles, etc. Beaches, surfers, celebrities. Mostly all in Socal. Home of the LA Lakers, San Diego Padres, and San Diego Chargers. Norcal is "wine country". Where you'll find the SF 49ers, Oakland A's, Oakland Raiders, and San Jose Sharks. Basically the place where the word "hella" originated. Golden Gate Bridge, Lake Tahoe, etc are all in Norcal. We all know how to party in California, all the porn is made here, we're really diverse. We have In-N-Out, which I doubt non-Californians have heard of. Our governor is the fucking Terminator. Enough said. So all in all, California is the shit. And most people really wish they could live here while they're snowed in for December and we are out at the beach.
Hot New York Girl: Hey, where are you from?
Hot California Guy: California.
Hot New York Girl: OMG, do you know Britney Spears? Do you surf? Do you know Ryan from The OC and Kristen from Laguna Beach?!
Hot California Guy: Shut up.

a state that might as well be its own country. has a shit load of hot people at the OC and some normal rich people in LA, but some of the middle class you will meet there are some weird motherfuckers. they have got some strange theories about a lot of things. And above all, their governor is an austrain, former body builder, and former actor. i guarantee i get all thumbs down, but its the truth.
"Dude I met this guy from California, he was so fucking strange."
"Yeah, most of 'em are. Except at the OC, there are some hot fuckers there"
