I totally understand the frustration with CA politics but aside from the homeless, drug infestation and illegal aliens, the place is pretty cool. I thoroughly enjoyed living by the beach in San Diego. Too bad the dems have messed up even San Diego.
I have been to California. It IS beautiful, lots of fascinating places to go, things to do etc. But for me the negatives really ruin most of it. And your comments along the lines of “it’s great, but...” remind me of that old line- “other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”.
