NO, I didn't say it could only happen in a certain place or that everyone in the state thinks this way.

I said I was sick and tired of California getting slammed in post after post after post. Well, guess what? This didn't happen in California, it happened in NYC. (Which, like I said, is the rudest city I have ever been in.)

I'll still take California any day. And BTW, it appears I'm not the only poster who feels that way.

Well I agree with you. I lived in California and find the uninformed blanket statements made about California to be silly.
I haven’t been to New York, but would expect people there to be different in many ways, but probably pretty much the same once I “decoded” the culture.

Every place has it’s own superficial quirks.

The New York I knew as a child is long gone. I don't want to ruin my wonderful memories by going back.

The California that my Father and Mother brought us to back in 1960 is a shadow of its former self. The Golden State was the Land of Opportunity when we moved here back in 1960.

That being said, although I have entertained the thought of moving out of California, I have yet to find a place that both my Wife and I would feel at home like we do here.

Most of my Wife's Family moved to Mississippi to retire. To us it's a nice place to visit, but we couldn't follow them there.

Besides, it would take a ton of dynamite to get my Wife to move out of our house. We live in South Orange County, the last bastion of Republicans, so I don't have to deal with too many wackos in my day to day life.

Great weather, no humidity and ten minutes to Laguna Beach.
Outside of the Commies running (RUINING) the State, what's not to love? LOL
