NORCAL RULES.

<-- from norcal, lives in socal, can't stand this insanity.

1. i have to pay to park/get validated.
2. rent is hella expensive.
3. too many beautiful people - GRR YOU ALL
4. can't stand the wannabe laker fans
5. all whining the football teams left town

norcal has better weather. what did you expect in winter?? or summer? it to be cold? or hot?

traffic is LIGHTER in norcal. my lord i zoom around at all times of the day.

i can find parking in spacious parking lots. they fit real sized cars. not all these compact spaces that suv's try to squish themselves in.

i can park in front of my house for days. i can park in front of my apt for two hours.

sf is right next to the bay - of course there's fog!

berkeley is a major liberal institution, it is also a college town. so its hippie land.

she said "hella".

but seriously though, traffic is much lighter here. and I don't think socal has "better women". what makes them better? fake boobies? although there are probably a lot more pretty women downthere but I think we can hold our own.

to clarify better: hotter!

damn, i spent a weekend in oakland and san fran. the girls are A LOT hotter in socal
Like it would do you any good. BTW, Oakland and Frisco aren't the best places in NorCal for women. Check the South Bay Area and the Coast.

Just like downtown LA isn't the best place for parking.
SoCal does have more intense race riots though.. and more Drive-Bye Shootings not to mention a corrupt Police Force!

like i said, westwood, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Palace Verdes, or Pacific Pali

no problems there
Unless you are a Minority (Black or Hispanic) and you aren't driving a Landscaping truck.

my roomate in college was black, he lived in Palace Verdes. never encountered a racail problem there

NoCal has Sacramento, the state capital. You can't get more corrupt than that. :p
Especially with all those So Cal Politicos living there!

All I know is that anywhere in Ca beats living in Boston. We've yet to have a summer here. The weather here during this summer is wetter than it is in Ca during the winter.

Well right now we have 40 mile gusts of wind, Thunder and Lightning and it looks like it is going to rain cats and dogs!

Those of you voting for NorCal obviously haven't lived in SoCal.

Better weather.
Better women.
Surfing year round with a springsuit. (ok, Ya'll have Mavericks, I'll give ya that)
Somewhat cheaper property.
Better women.
Less fallout from the Dot-Bombs.
Better women.
Slightly less crowded freeways.
Better women.
And did I mention better women? :p
I was born in SoCal and before the flood of immigrants fron S.E. Asia and Mexico it was a better place to live than NorCal.. at least for us who were Californian Natives (Which includes races of all kinds) Of course if you are an immigrant then SoCal and parts of the Bay Area (like Milpitas) is great because they have strong S.E. Asian Communities. In fact in Cerritos and Milpitas you can go tpo a Nieghborhood and it will seem like you are in S>E Asian Country.


seriously. san jose, cupertino area, silicone valley area is like stepping into china town or some other asian country.

Socal owns norcal. Grew up in socal and am going to school in norcal. Norcal sucks so much. If you don't live in the bay area you basically live in the middle of nowhere. Who the hell would want to live in a place like vacaville or anywhere in napa county for that matter. Then there is the problem I mentioned above with san jose area being taken over by asian people, or so it seems.

Napa Valley sh!ts on So Cal hard! I guess if you like Traffic Jams, Hordes pf People and Crappy air you might prefer So Cal!

you must live in napa and thus I feel very sorry for you.

I drove on the freeway to jury duty this morning at 75 the whole way. People seem to think traffic is bad all over socal. Its really only on the 405 during rush hour that its bad or if your driving right through LA during rush hour. I drove my parents to LAX last week for their 2pm flight and was cruising at 80 right down the 101 onto the 405 and off at century no problems at all.

hordes of people, you mean actually having other people around and not living in the middle of nowhere then yes I prefer having lots of people around. Right now according to weather.com the temp is 75 and I see no smog.

It's some of the nicest cheap land I've ever seen far norcal. You can buy like 10 acres for a couple hundred thousand.

Hmm, I'm a Southern Californian but I've been in Northern California for the past two months or so. I used to hate NorCal but now I can imagine myself living here, but still preferably SoCal.
