MN has the highest diversity by far. (This can be backed up with statistics.)

California's idea of diversity is a healthy mix of black and white with lots of illegals thrown in for good measure.

Many other states have a variety of races which is really diversity.

Indeed, although I think I've seen a grand total of ten black people there. It probably depends a lot on the city and area of the city.

Shens. Diversity is overrated and I couldn't care less about it. The climate there is nice but it gets boring having the same weather almost every day. Hawaii has a billion times more natural beauty than California does.

QFT. I absolutely love it here.

Do you love those $300,000 shacks as well?

Actually its more like $700,000 for a shack and the answer is yes.

Diversity is cool. There's more opportunity here and the wages are much higher. I wouldn't be happy if it werent.
 
I lived in San Diego for a time. The unchanging weather gets old real quick. You can never experience the joy of a nice day if there are no bad days. I really didn't care for the people and constant traffic either. And I don't even need to mention the ridiculous laws they have...

Apparently, you've never seen the "Which state is best/worst?" polls that are posted every month or so.

I've been here for 18 years. And I love it here. I have a lot of friends that share my sentiment as well that are transplants.

Wages are high because you couldn't afford to live there if they were much lower. It's just too expensive there.

Basically, it's just a thread where Texans and Californians flame each other's states, and everyone makes fun of New Jersey.

"As one of the most demographically diverse states in the nation, California is a dominant force in American culture as well as the nation's economy. It has some of the nation's largest cities, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and San Francisco, and is responsible for many legal and technological innovations."

"California has the fifth largest economy in the world. It is responsible for 14% of the United States' gross domestic product (GDP). The gross state product (GSP) is about $1.5 trillion ($1,500,000,000,000, as of 2004)[3], making it greater than that of every other U.S. state, and most countries in the world (by Purchasing Power Parity)."

Well what do you expect when the state accounts for > 11% of the population of the United States?

Comparing California to other countries is just stupid. California is what it is because it is part of the United States. Do you really think California would have the "fifth largest economy in the world" if we never snatched it from Mexico? Keep dreaming!

I can understand why New Jersey has the reputation that it does, but anyone who's been outside of Camden/Newark/etc knows that much of NJ is very, very nice. 🙂
