My father in law used to have a house in Berkeley. Those people don’t keep their houses up. When they would come to Leawood, Kansas where we lived, they would sneer, “Look how squeaky clean everything is.” As if we were the rubes. Also exclaiming about how much space we had. Lol. Because of course everything in California is so far superior. Snort.
Posting from the Leawood Hen House. You’re right!
My father said one time after relatives from California visited us in Oklahoma “ if things are so great there why are they driving the same car”
I’ve use variations over the years and call it the California car rule.
Might "complaining about" be a better description than "exclaiming about"?
Ten years ago I lived in Napa. Can confirm.
