It's more that a lot of people move out from California and trash-talk it to anyone who will listen. This happens with everywhere, but because CA is so populous it has more people doing this than other places.
Though, IMO, the weather sounds terrible to me.
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?
Might be Fresno area.
Who would ever move to California for the weather, I mean have you looked the 5 day forecast for death valley?
All of California has a pronouced dry summer with low humidity, no thanks.
LA weather sounds bad, heat and smog.
SanFran weather sounds bad, always the same temperature.
The northern part sounds bad, too much rain.
The weather is one of the largest reasons people migrate to california.
Even if your homeless, its of the few states where you could be outside year round and not die due to the more extreme points of weather that you would experience in mamy other states
Exactly. I prefer more variety in my weather. I need the highs and the lows, the sun and the snows, the days when wind blows, y'know?
Yeah, I joke that California does have four seasons - they're just Summer, Wildfire, and Mudslide. Possible Earthquake to shake things up.
But to be fair, it is a long state. SoCal gets most of the attention, but NorCal gets some great seasons as you get closer to the PNW
the weather where? it's a big state, with quite a lot of variation. there's a huge difference between san francisco, bakersfield, and truckee. i think most people could find some local weather to hate, but i suspect most people can also find somewhere to appreciate. unless you just want tropics or arctics or something similarly extreme i guess.
I like arid and cool best, but what I really value in my weather is variety and seasonality.
you want seasons, we've got seasons:
that's an old image though, we're actually in summer now.
Do you think all of California is Death Valley, or what?
