I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.

I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says “the policies are dumb” but can’t give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

    That’s such a nonsensical statement to make about a state the size of California. Just the 3 main coastal cities have vastly different climates, and that’s not even getting into the highly varied ecosystems found inland. Are you thinking specifically about the weather in the LA area?

        Who would ever move to California for the weather, I mean have you looked the 5 day forecast for death valley?

      LA weather sounds bad, heat and smog.

      SanFran weather sounds bad, always the same temperature.

      The northern part sounds bad, too much rain.

        Sorry, but that’s just not true. California’s coastal areas are hugely impacted by moisture blowing in from the Pacific. San Francisco’s historical average humidity in August is above 60% and the temperature rarely goes about 80.

        If it’s rainfall you want, just go a bit further north. Coastal Northern California receives about as much annual precipitation as Seattle. You can find basically any climate you could want in the state – trying to make a blanket statement is pointless.
