To paraphrase JP Morgan "If you have to ask, you can't understand it".
It just isn't 'nice' weather - it's perfect weather ie not too hot, not too cold, not too humid, not too dry. This means one can live every day of the year - there are practically -0- days where one has to close up their windows & turn on the a/c and/or heat.
Calif lies in between the Pac northwest where it rains every day, and Baja where it almost never rains. Those earthquakes create both mountains & valleys, which, when combined with just the right amount of precipatation, makes California one of the most beautiful places on earth.
I guess freedoms don't mean much when compared against weather then. ;)
If everything I owned got moved into California, I'd be a major felon several times over considering how much stuff is banned in commiefornia.
Enjoy the weather, I'll go enjoy shooting.
Beautiful this weekend... went for a sail around Long Beach shoreline... perfect weather.
