Reason: weather--and the fact recreational opportunities are way better than other states, especially during the winter months. Once you live along the coastline of Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, would YOU want to experience the winters of the US Northeast and Upper Midwest? No wonder why the rich in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis-Saint Paul all have second homes in Florida and Texas.

Californians move to Nevada. It’s now blue. Purple is out of the question. We need them as much as Florida needs New Yorkers.

Amen, the weather is a tonic. The geography complements it.

I moved from Sacramento to Colorado, then back to Orange County.

I purchased a small convertible Mercury Capri that doesn't leave the coast to cruise in.

Today we will go shark watching on the beach, since they are plentiful and the whales moved on.

When we get bored with the coast, it's off to Palm Springs (not in summer), a totally different experience.

We are fortunate to be here, bolstered by a series of no-brainer correct life decisions.

I would DETEST living in an area that didn’t have four seasons.

I love winter and I realize that I’m in the minority but 12 months of summer would drive me nuts.

We have a boat in the Ventura Harbor and I spend about half my time there. A few years ago we went to Oklahoma and Arkansas to look at places to move. Found Grove Ok and their huge lake and boats galore to be almost okay. Then I went in the winter. The whole town was shut down. Then it snowed. Changed my mind real fast. Lol. We’re still here.
