What can you get in California that can't be had in another state? I haven't met anyone who has moved from California to another state that has regretted their decision. It's almost like the residents are in denial about how shitty their state is.

Be that as it may, they have a dang good economy. (For example Cali's GSP is 1.7T, Canada's is 1.2 trillion) Now, whether that's enough to outweigh all the socialism and stuff is up to debate ;)

I'm sure I missed plenty:

--Beaches
--Snow covered Mountains
--Wine Vineyards
--Dairy Industry
--Tech Industry
--Film Industry
--Deserts
--Lots of Amusement parks
--Forrests
--Large Metropolitan Areas
--Cozy Suburbs
--Beautiful Weather throughout Most of the year
--Surfing & skiing

BTW, I'm not some huge California nut hugger but find me another state that has everything I just mentioned.

I live in Florida and travel to So Cal a lot. As bad as Florida can be ... So Cal is the suck. So my vote is So Cal is the worst followed by Florida. Nor Cal is OK, especially the area just north of San Fran.

LOL @ Pennsylvania. Even illegal Aliens look down on the inbreds that come from Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania makes Alabama look like an enlightened state.

uhh... everything you mentioned there can be had in other states except for the vinyards and film industry (and is having hollywood really a plus??)

There are plenty of states with desert, forest, mountains, city/suburb, etc... Arizona is one example.

Not to mention hot humid summers, frigid winters and it being to close in proximity to Pennsylvania.

And you know what? I hope the mods come in here and ban you into the arms of the nearest cousin. Those familiar, tender arms.
